This a Hapoel Tel-Aviv appreciation post

Hapoel Tel-Aviv, a team from Israel, has managed to take 5 points from their first appearance in the Champions League. Last year Maccabi Haifa played in the Champions League and came up with 0 points and 0 goals. This year, Hapoel Tel-Aviv gave one of the most amazing campaign of an Israeli team in Europe. Yes, they started with loses to Benfica away, Lyon at home and Schalke at home, but boy oh boy what they've done since.

They tied 0-0 with Schalke at home.

They beat Benfica 3-0 (!!!) at home in one of the most amazing games an Israeli team had ever had in a European competition.  

They tied 2-2 with Lyon away.

For a team like Hapoel, it's amazing.

And today, Lopez scored for Lyon in the 62 minute, but then Sahar scored an equalizer at the 63 minute! Then Zehavi scored the most amazing goal so far in this competition so far and Hapoel were leading 2-1. I was shaking and crying, literary.

They managed to keep the lead until the 88 minute when Lacazette equalized. ): If we'd won we'd have go to the Europa League because Benfica lost to Schalke. We're so close. ): 



With all the pain of not winning this game and going to the Europa League, Hapoel Tel-Aviv were amazing in this campaign.
