"Newcastle" solved everything in the match in Baku. I think the return match will no longer be so important for them."
These words were said by Afran Ismayilov, the former football player of "Qarabagh", in his statement to Sport24.az.
The veteran football player shared his expectations from the return match of the UEFA Champions League play-off stage with "Newcastle" (England):
"In that match, it became clear once again that we need years to reach that level. But we must take into account that English football is a completely different level. "Qarabagh" will try not to concede too many goals in the return match, away. I guess they will succeed. That's what I hope for.
Will we ever see any of our teams in the country's football in these stages again? Maybe I, you will not see it. I think that there will be no such success again. Being among the giant teams of the world was a great success and history. I wish I was wrong. But it doesn't seem real now."
It should be noted that the "Newcastle" - "Qarabagh" game will be held on the night of February 24-25, at 00:00 in England. In the first match in Baku, the guests were superior with a score of 6:1.
