Farewell to an unforgettable season

Maccabi Petah Tikva ended their participation in the 2016-17 league with a draw against Maccabi Haifa (0-0). The match meant Carlos Cuéllar's farewell too as he won't continue at the club. It's been a very positive season for the centre-back, who took some time to become the leader of Maccabi Petah Tikva's defence. Nobody has argued his presence on the starting eleven whenever he has been available. Against Maccabi Haifa, Carlos played all 90 minutes. A circumstance that has been constant throughout the season.

With this draw Cuéllar's team ends the play-off for the title in fourth position. Beitar Jerusalem's win left Maccabi Petah Tikva without options of reaching the third place. After 36 game weeks (26 regular matches and 10 of play-off), Maccabi has added 56 points. In spite of not qualifying for the Europa League, this season's performance deserves a good score.

With Carlos in their squad, Maccabi Petah Tikva went from the 8th position (season 2015-16 ending) to the 4th position this season. Since season 2004-05, in which they ended up 2nd, Maccabi hadn't ended in such a good position at the end of the season. This is a key point to value after Cuéllar's months in Israel.
