Omer Atzily, one of Maccabi Tel Aviv’s summer recruits looked his at his side’s 1:0 (2:0 aggregate) win over Panionios from Athens, Greece as the Yellow & Blue moved into the Europa League Playoff Round:

“It was an important win that sent us to the next stage and I can’t wait for Friday’s draw to find out who or opponent will be. But we have an important match this coming Sunday night and we will prepare for that contest properly.”

Start of the season:
“It’s no secret that I came back to Israel after a rough season, but I am happy to be here and I hope that I will continue to improve each match together with the club.”

Thoughts on Friday’s draw:
“I’m not thinking to much about that, so whatever team we will draw, we’ll draw. The most important thing is that we succeed to advance to the group stages.”
