Maccabi Tel Aviv – the shape of the team and its analysis:
“The Yellows” were able to win their 25th championship title in the spring. The previous one was achieved 4 years ago, but they finally managed to return to the top. Being under the leadership of a new coach, Lazetic, who had replaced Robbie Keane, the team added the Super Cup (due to a 2-0 success in the struggle with the “teammates” from Petah Tikva).
They were relatively successful in returning to the Champions League. But 1-1 in Bucharest means that they need to win the return match, which will be held on a neutral field.
Steaua – the shape of the team and its analysis:
“The Militaries” finally showed that they are not only a historical giant, but also the number one force in Romanian football right now. After several cases when they stopped in 2nd place, the capital club took the championship – the first since 2015! By the way, the team started the new tournament with draws, losing points and lagging behind the competitors.
As for the Champions League, the Romanian club destroyed Virtus: a 7-1 success in San Marino and a 4-0 victory at the home arena. Speaking about the struggle with the clearly stronger Israelis, everything ended with only a draw and there happened even a comeback – 1-1.
