Buy Barak Levy's official kit 
Goalkeeper Barak Levy, now in his third season on the senior squad, came up through the ranks of the Maccabi Tel Aviv youth system, where he played for every youth team in the division. He was one of the outstanding players in the Maccabi Under-19 squad that won the impressive double in 2010/11 and toward the end of the end of the season also made three appearances for the senior squad. His first appearance came on the 23rd of April 2011 in Maccabi's 3-1 victory over Ironi Kiryat Shmona, after which he also featured against Bnei Yehuda and Maccabi Haifa.
In the 2011/12 season he vied for first-team honours with Guy Haimov and got his first chance in the third matchweek against Hapoel Rishon Lezion. Nonetheless Haimov remained the team's first-choice keeper, and Levy was forced to wait until later in season to get his first sustained spell between the senior goalposts, just short of his 19th birthday. Still, he managed twenty league appearances throughout the season and began to display some of his enormous potential.
He also served as second-choice keeper in the 2012/13 season, this time behind the on-loan Nigerian international Vincent Enyeama. Nonetheless he was able to make a significant contribution to Maccabi Tel Aviv's first championship season in a decade. During Enyeama's absence at the African Cup of Nations Levy made seven appearances for the senior squad, conceding only three goals. During that period he saved two penalties, one of them in a 5-0 thrashing of Hapoel Beer Sheva. The second, more significantly, occurred in extra time in an away match against Hapoel Ramat Gan that preserved a one goal Maccabi advantage and secured an important three points for the team's title race. He also kept a clean sheet in one of the season's most memorable encounters, Maccabi's 4-0 derby triumph over Hapoel Tel Aviv on February 2nd 2013.
Levy has also had the opportunity to show his talents for Israel's Under-21s, where he made his first appearance in a friendly against Slovakia on May 29th 2013. He was also included in the squad that hosted the Under-21 European championships in the summer of 2013, though he was kept on the bench for all of the squad's three group stage matches. His first official appearance came in Young Israel's impressive 7-2 victory against Azerbaijan in the opening match of the qualifiers for the 2015 Under-21 European championships.
