Maccabi Tel Aviv defender Tal Ben Haim was elated with the Israeli powerhouse's progression to the UEFA Champions League group stage.
Tal Ben Haim said Maccabi Tel Aviv's progression to the UEFA Champions League group stage for the first time since 2004 was a career highlight.
Tel Aviv's 1-1 second-leg draw at home against Basel on Tuesday saw the club win the tie on away goals, after the aggregate score ended 3-3.
Basel was on track for back-to-back group-stage appearances when it led early via Luca Zuffi's goal in Tel Aviv, but Maccabi captain Eran Zahavi equalized midway through the first half.
