In the 2013–14 season Micha continued his good run from the end of the last season by scoring a crucial away goal against Bordeaux in the Europa League group stage, which obtained Maccabi its first ever win in the competitions group stage.
International career
On 5 September 2011, Micha made his international youth debut with the Israel U-21 team against England.

Micha was a central figure in the team during the 2015 European Under-21 Championship qualifications which Israel finished second and was supposed to qualify but did not since only the best four teams who finished second in the groups qualified.
Micha was called-up to the senior Israeli squad for a friendly match against Serbia in May 2016.[10]
