Last Tuesday, Maccabi Haifa recorded one of the greatest achievements in its history when it qualified for the third time in its history for the group stage of the Champions League.
The Greens managed to come back from a double deficit against Red Star Belgrade at the packed Marcana Stadium and made their fans very happy.
Already that evening in Serbia, the Maccabi Haifa players referred to the group stage draw and fantasized about receiving the lions of the continent.
Dolev Haziza already said in the interview post after the game that he dreams of receiving PSG, Liverpool and Dortmund while his friend Omar Azili stated: "Bring Messi, I will kill myself for him".
Yesterday (Thursday) Barak Becher and his players were indeed drawn at home together with Paris Saint-Germain, who were in Israel only a few weeks ago, in addition to Juventus and Nafica.
A few minutes after the draw, Atzili and Haziza uploaded a joint photo on Instagram in which they tagged Leo Messi and Neymar and asked them ahead of time for their shirts.
"T shirt to us please", the two wrote, and deleted it after they realized it had created a big mess on networks around the world.

In the Italian "Tutomarketo" they shared the story of the Israeli players, treated it as an "extraordinary request" and added: "How are Messi and Neymar supposed to take them seriously now?".
France and Spain also commented on the bizarre move, while quite a few people throughout the network in Israel claimed that it was an embarrassing move.
Now, it will be interesting to see when the French champion will arrive in Israel and if indeed, its big stars will agree to give the shirt to Azili and Haziza.
đ Quedan semanas para que se enfrente en Champions, pero, por si caso, ellos ya le van pidiendo la camiseta a Neymar y Messi.
ÂĄA ver si hay suerte!
