Nor would it be so easy to survive in Israel, also because of the climate. For Tuesday night though Red Bull Salzburg faces Maccabi Tel Aviv in the first leg of the Champions League playoffs, temperatures of up to 30 degrees Celsius are the order of the day, in addition to high humidity. However, according to Ruttensteiner: “” For me, Salzburg are the favorite just because of the club structure. The quality of the team and the international experience of the last years speak clearly in favor of the Salzburg team. “
Don’t worry about locks
Salzburg criticized the decision to play the game in Israel.
