[edit] Time in Israel

Goldberg was an integral part of the Maccabi Tel Aviv squad that took back to back cup titles and a league championship thereafter^[2]. He had a strained relationship with club captain, Avi Nimni, and even verbally criticized him in the Israeli media before returning to Chile^[3].

[edit] Return to Chile

After playing for four seasons in Israel, Goldberg returned to his native Chile to play for Santiago Morning. During a club match against Palestino, he was subjected to anti-semitic abuse from the oppositions supporters despite the fact that he is not Jewish^[4].
