Tikteknu, today's summary clip 14.9 (Sport1)

True, it ended in a loss, but still - Maccabi Haifa provided one of its biggest games in Europe in recent years (Wednesday).

In the end, a sensational 0:1 lead over Paris Saint-Germain ended in a 3:1 loss, but it was hard to ask for more from Barak Becher and his players this evening, against some of the biggest players on the continent.

Charon Cheri stunned and scored first (24), but Lionel Messi Eisen (37), Kylian Mbappe completed a turnaround (69), Neymar signed (88) and the Greens remained without a point in the group stage.

With such ability, it is not impossible that they will achieve it in one of the following cycles - perhaps as early as next week in Turin, against Juventus.

Proud of his team, and rightfully so.

"There were moments when we felt even too comfortable, we felt that we were in control and we knew that we would be punished for every mistake," said Barak Becher.

"And it's not even a mistake, against such players you can always absorb. But we gave the maximum, and I'm proud, and the audience can be proud. We'll learn from this for the rest.

"The feelings at 0:1?

Against such teams, even when you lead by two or three zero, you cannot feel comfortable.

But there were moments when we dominated, moved the ball and got into situations, but their quality, the best in the world, prevailed.

"We knew we were going to do everything, we knew there would be minutes in which we would dominate and there would be danger. Professionally, we could have done things better, moved smarter, but to play like this against a team like this, we are proud.

"We could have scored more, we could have produced a better result, before the end There was a free kick by Sherry that if he had scored we would have drawn an amazing draw.

But there was a bit of an event here, a bit of a game, give us a moment to recover, and we'll prepare for the next game against Hapoel Jerusalem."

Goal scorer Charon Sherry added: "Paris has a lot of qualities, and they saw it. I was not surprised, because when we play our football, and our style, we can do a lot. We played very well, the small details decided the game."
