"Antonio Conte called "Qarabag" the surprise team of the Champions League. It is true that "Napoli" is in third place in Serie A, but I think that today world football is going through a stage of development based on surprising results. We observe this when we watch games at both national and club level".
These words were said by former Azerbaijani national team football player Adil Shukurov while talking about the fifth round match between "Napoli" and "Qarabag" teams in Italy today in the main stage of the UEFA Champions League.
In his opinion, the Azerbaijani champion will also perform at a high level in the match against "Napoli": "I believe in it. The Aghdam club shows that it can surprise with 7 points collected in 4 rounds of the Champions League held in the new format. We saw our team play tenaciously, uniquely, and comfortably in matches against giants such as Benfica and Chelsea in the main stage", he said in a statement to AZERTAC.
The expert said that it is no coincidence that the match will be held on today's date: "Because today is the day when Diego Maradona, the Argentinian legend of world football and Napoli, passed away. The arena also bears his name".
It should be noted that today's "Napoli" - "Qarabag" match, which will be held at the "Stadio Diego Armando Maradona" stadium, will start at 23:59 Baku time.
