Following Maccabi Haifa’s great result on Tuesday night, when they made it through to the group stages of the European Champions League for the first time in seven years, you might be stoked to find out that they’ll be facing the might of Bayern Munich, Juventus, and Bordeaux. Oh yes, Bayern Munich, Juventus, and Bordeaux, coming soon to a Holy Land near you!
As it looks now, you’ve got to say that the draw has not been kind, but then again, were Maccabi Haifa ever going to stand a really good chance of making it through to the second round? Anyway, we say good luck to them! Their first Champions League game is on September 15 (at the Ramat Gan stadium, and not in Haifa), against four-time European Champions Bayern Munich, so I guess that’ll give us a good indication of whether they can do something special this year…
Whatever happens, we’ll just be happy to see some top class footie round these parts. Can’t wait.
