Maccabi Tel Aviv plays their last match of the season tonight at the Moshava Stadium against Bnei Yehuda, 21:00 which will also be Jordi Cruyff’s final game after 6 years at the Club.

The Yellow & Blue will look to end the campaign on a high note and finish in 2nd place on the table as they enter this evening’s contest with 68 points, one point ahead of Beitar Jerusalem who face Hapoel Haifa. Maccabi defeated Beitar last week 3:1.

Bnei Yehuda finds themselves in 6th place with 49 points and have already been eliminated from European competition, however they did beat Maccabi Netanya 5:0 last Matchday. Dan Mori, Nerijus Valksis, Almog Buzaglo and Ben Turgeman will be unavailable for Head Coach Yossi Abuksis due to injury.

Jordi Cruyff commented ahead of the match: “We need to give it all for 90 minutes to finish the best we can. Everybody will finally get a well deserved holiday. It’s been a long time that the players have had some time off. The league made a good decision about the Toto Cup competition to give the players a break.”

The Head Coach also looked back at his time with the club: “I don’t think I can mention one memory in general, but in football there are happy and sad days. When you leave a place normally you have mixed emotions, but I have a happy and proud feeling. There is always room for improvement. In general when I arrived here I said I wanted to be remembered as someone who was a plus and did more good than bad. The feeling I get is that I’ve done that. All good things have to come to an end.”
