Kick the bucket.
There is no better way to define the feelings in Maccabi Tel Aviv after yesterday's loss to Lusk Linz, who prevented the Yellows from qualifying directly for the eighth finals of the Conference League.
"It was an opportunity that it is impossible to know when she will return," said Maccabi, who know that going through the playoffs will be a super difficult task in light of the rivals coming from the Europa League.
The main anger in the yellow lines is that the team absorbed in the final minutes instead of keeping the draw zero.
If the result had been kept to a draw, it would have left everything in the hands of Maccabi, which in such a case could have qualified directly for the eighth if it beat Alaskart in the final round.
"The first half was our best this season in Europe and in the end you lose a game like that, it's frustrating," the club said.
The team's contact, Gabi Kanikovsky, spoke about the difficult feelings among the players: "There is great disappointment, there are simply no words. Maccabi Tel Aviv must not absorb such goals in the final minutes. "Take on more leadership and kill the game, but we did not do it."

Coach Barak Yitzhaki did not hide his big disappointment either: "You see the disappointment on my face. Such games also need to know how to keep 0: 0 and it's a shame to absorb such a goal at a minute like this. We are a better team than the Austrians and we lost them. Life is not easy either. "Teams without names are blown up and we saw it. I also take responsibility because I also have a part in this loss."
Yitzhaki also referred to the fact that he has not yet been appointed permanent coach of the team and said: "Jordi Cruyff also had a situation where he was not a coach for more than a month, it seems to me 10-11 games, so this is not the first time something like this has happened to us. "We work very hard to find the right coach to take the team forward. We are neither the first nor the last club to replace a coach in the middle of the season and the coach's job will be to adapt quickly."
