Summary of Maccabi Haifa's 0:4 over Olympiakos in Greece (Sport1)

The meeting between Maccabi Haifa and Red Star Belgrade is still far from guaranteed, when both teams need to advance a step in the Champions League qualifiers in order to face each other in the playoffs, but in Serbia they are already summarizing the draw held today (Tuesday) as a great success from the point of view of Dian Stankovic and his players, who need Beat Pyunik Yerevan to play against the Greens, provided Barak Becher's team beats Apollon Limassol.

"The Red Star was lucky in the draw," wrote the Serbian "Telegraph", where they pointed out that the local champion escaped a meeting with the Turkish Trabzonspor.

"What is important is that the star will be a guest in the first game, which means that the second leg will be held at the Maracana," they emphasized.

"At first glance, this is a great draw for the Reds and Whites," they added in "Mundo", where one of the headlines was particularly emphatic: "The Red Star has a paved road to the Champions League!", declared the local media.

"She avoided the toughest opponent, the level of the pass is quite equal. Whether she plays in Cyprus or Israel, the star will have to prepare for a game in extremely high temperatures and exhausting humidity even in the evening."

Are Serbia underestimated?
