Summary: Maccabi Tel Aviv - PSV Eindhoven 1: 1 (Sport 1)
This is exactly the exciting evening that their golden hair imagined.
The PSV Eindhoven striker received a royal reception tonight (Thursday) in his return game to Bloomfield, which ended in a 1-1 draw with Maccabi Tel Aviv.
Although Zahavi did not conquer and displayed a rather lukewarm ability, he received the respect of kings from before the opening whistle, and especially after the end.
The Yellows fans called Zahavi's name several times throughout the game, and at the end he threw his shirt at goal 11 in gratitude.
"It's one of the most exciting moments of my career, it's not obvious," Zehavi said.
"I want to thank the fans and send them the love back. I was very excited, they made a very nice gesture here. I can only say thank you. It was strange to cross the whole field to go to the Maccabi crowd, looked at it a bit in shock, but I could not say no "I got crazy love here and it was really very exciting."

On the possibility of a return, Zehavi said: "This is my club, I always feel an integral part of it. We will deal with it next season when the right time comes, we need to respect both clubs at the moment. This is not the time. We will see what happens in the future. "Once I did not sculpt back to Maccabi Tel Aviv, regardless of what will happen. We will make decisions in the future, right now everything is hot and exciting after the game. If there is development, everyone will know."
About the game: "We knew it would be a very difficult game. Maccabi Tel Aviv came with a lot of confidence, the crowd pushed and they played at a very high level. They deserve all the compliments. It's not easy to get points here in Bloomfield, it's a fortress. "Sucks, but that's the situation. We'll deal with it."
PSV coach Roger Schmidt said: "We saw how hard it was to play outside. There was a fantastic atmosphere, Maccabi Tel Aviv played really well and it was not easy for us, but in the end we did it, and I think we deserved it. We worked hard. "For that, and well done to Maccabi. It was very important to complete the task tonight because we have young and not very experienced players. We will try to get as far as possible in the factory, but it will be a challenge."
On Zehavi's replacement: "Maccabi pressed us and we could not hold the ball in the second half, so I took it out. It was not easy today against them because the defensive players stood out and were good. I think he had a good game. I would recommend him to return to Maccabi Tel Aviv, if he wants To return is the right time. "
