Loan to Hamburger SV

Due to Antar's performances during the 2002 FIFA World Cup qualifiers in 2001, Lebanon's national team coach, Theo Bücker, had assisted him in a transfer to Bundesliga outfit Hamburger SV, on loan from Lebanese Premier League club Tadamon Sour.[4] Antar made his first appearance in the 2001–02 Bundesliga season in a 1–1 away draw against TSV 1860 München on 11 August, where Antar was substituted onto the field for Erik Meijer in the 86th minute.[5][6] Antar scored his first goal in the Bundesliga in a 3–1 home win against 1. FC Nürnberg on 2 March.[7]

During his two-year stay with the club, Hamburg would claim the 2003 German League Cup, however, after failing to establish himself with the north German side (after he played in the Regionalliga Nord for Hamburg's reserve side for the 2002–03 season), he opted for a free-transfer to SC Freiburg.[8]

SC Freiburg

After a serious injury Antar eventually debuted in December 2003 when he scored a hat-trick in a 4–2 win against VfL Bochum.

The referee, Peter Gagelmann, did not see the incident occur, however, the German FA made subsequent investigations before bringing in a charge which resulted in issuing Marques with a multi-game suspension which restricted him from playing in any competitive fixtures for the duration of the 2007–08 season.[12] In the second last game of the 2007–08 season, Antar helped Köln gain promotion back into the Bundesliga, scoring a double in the decisive 2–0 home victory against 1. FSV Mainz 05 on 11 May.[13] Antar finished the season having scored seven goals in 31 league appearances, Köln finished in third spot of the table on 60 points and were promoted to the Bundesliga for the 2008–09 Bundesliga season.[14]

His hat-trick brought him to a total of 12 national team goals.

2000 AFC Asian Cup

Antar was selected by coach Josip Skoblar for Lebanon's 23-man squad for the 2000 Asian Cup campaign, where Antar was handed the number #20 shirt. Both Antar and his brother, Faislan had been selected for Lebanon, and Antar was also one of five under-21 players selected in the squad.

2002 FIFA World Cup qualifiers

Under German coach Theo Bücker, Antar played a vital role for Lebanon during the first round qualifiers for the 2002 FIFA World Cup, scoring five goals in five appearances. In Lebanon's opening match, he played a full 90-minutes in their 6–0 victory against Pakistan on 13 May 2001.[29] Antar then scored a double in Lebanon's 4–0 win against Sri Lanka on 15 May 2001.[30] Two days later, Antar scored for Lebanon in the 9th minute giving them a 1–0 lead against Thailand on 17 May 2001. Thailand scored two goals before half-time to eventually win the match 2–1.[31] On 26 May 2001, Antar scored another double in Lebanon's 8–1 victory against Pakistan.[32] On 30 May 2001, Antar played a full 90-minutes of Lebanon's 2–2 draw against Thailand.[33] The result meant that Lebanon finished in second position of their respective group, with 13 points, but failed to advance to the second round of qualifiers.

2006 FIFA World Cup qualifiers

Antar was named captain in 2004 for the second round qualifiers for the 2006 FIFA World Cup, scoring three goals in four appearances. He missed Lebanon's first match against South Korea, a 2–0 loss on 18 February 2004, due to a visa problem. On 31 March 2004, Antar played in his first match of the qualification campaign, a 2–0 away victory against Vietnam, where Antar scored Lebanon's first goal of the match in the 83rd minute.[34] On 9 June 2004, Antar scored in Lebanon's 3–0 home win against Maldives.[35] Antar again scored for Lebanon in their 5–2 away victory against Maldives in Malé on 8 September 2004.[36] On 13 October 2004, Antar played a full 90-minutes of Lebanon's 1–1 home draw against South Korea.[37] The result meant that Lebanon could not proceed to the next round of qualifiers, Lebanon eventually drew 0–0 with Vietnam in Beirut on 17 November 2004 in their last qualification match and finished in second place of their respective qualification group with 11 points.

2010 FIFA World Cup qualifiers

Antar featured in two 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification matches for Lebanon. They were drawn in a first round play-off against India, where Antar scored in Lebanon's 4–0 first-leg victory on 8 October 2007.[38] Following a 2–2 draw in the second leg on 30 October 2007, Lebanon advanced to the next round of qualifiers. Antar then played a full 90-minutes of Lebanon's third round qualifier against Uzbekistan, a 1–0 home defeat on 6 February 2008.[39] Lebanon had obtained no points out of their six group stage matches and finished in bottom place of their respective group.

2014 FIFA World Cup qualifiers

Third round

After one year of absence due to international retirement, Antar came out of retirement to play under former coach, Theo Bücker, for the AFC Third Round of the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification campaign.[40] Having missed Lebanon's opening group-stage match against South Korea in Goyang due to a visa problem, Antar was named captain by Bücker for his first appearance, where he helped Lebanon to a 3–1 home victory against the United Arab Emirates on 6 September 2011. Antar had assisted Akram Moghrabi in scoring Lebanon's second goal and scored the third goal himself with a header in the 83rd minute.[41][42][43][44][45] Antar was then awarded the man of the match.[46] During Lebanon's third group-stage match on 11 October 2011, Lebanon had drawn 2–2 with Kuwait in front of approximately 32,000 fans in Beirut. It had been the first time since 2005 that the Lebanese Football Federation had allowed spectators inside stadiums, having previously barred fans from entering the stadiums due to bad behaviour. Bad behaviour from the fans, mostly related to playing with fireworks, was again the case against Kuwait as it forced Japanese referee Masaaki Toma into stopping the game on numerous occasions. Masaaki was forced to stop the game twice after a supporter shined a laser pen at the Kuwaiti goalkeeper. The halt in play that accumulated to around 10 minutes broke up Lebanon's rhythm where the Lebanese players looked tired after their break and momentum was lost. Masaaki called in his assistants to suspend play as the stadium's announcer. Antar remonstrated with the fans in order to calm them down and then the game recommenced six minutes later before coming to another halt again.[47] On 15 November 2011, Lebanon defeated South Korea 2–1 in Beirut. Lebanon took the lead after 4 minutes when Antar's shot was blocked and then turned in by Ali Al Saadi. Their second goal came after 30 minutes of the first half when Abbas Ali Atwi converted a penalty shot. Antar inspired Lebanon to a spirited and historic victory, recording Lebanon's first ever win over South Korea, and had been instrumental in Lebanon's last four qualifiers as they obtained ten points to share their group's top spot with the South Korea. The 2–1 result sent both teams to the fourth round of the qualifiers. It was after this win that Lebanon striker Mahmoud El Ali hailed the performance of Antar and how much his presence had helped Lebanon.[48] Antar had received his second yellow card of the third round against South Kora and therefore did not take part in Lebanon's 4–2 away loss against the UAE on 29 February 2012.[49]

Fourth round

During Lebanon's fourth group-stage match of the fourth round on 11 September 2012, Antar scored in the 27th minute of the match to give Lebanon a 1–0 victory against Iran. Antar scored in the 27th minute from a header off a Mohamad Haidar free-kick, upon his return to the team, having missed the opening three games due to injury.The spirited victory not only marked Lebanon's first-ever win against Iran, but also brought the Iranians' 13-match unbeaten qualifying record to an end.[50][51][52] In October 2011, it was reported that Antar praised the Lebanon national team for their results and stated that it was the best national team in their history. He also indicated that his captaincy role was more of a job as apose to a responsibility and that it was his duty to do his job well and try to win matches alongside his team-mates.[53]
