Former footballer of the USSR and Russian national teams, Aleksandr Mostovoi, congratulated "Qarabag" on qualifying for the Champions League play-off stage.
Idman.Biz reports that the Aghdam club has qualified for the play-off stage for the first time in its history.
"Qarabag" should be especially noted. They deserve praise for qualifying for the Champions League play-off stage in the new format. Before each game, I told them, "Well done! Play, earn points, and then we'll see what happens in the group stage after the rounds." They really endured, well done, it had to be that way. If it wasn't "Qarabag", another team would be in their place," Mostovoi told Championat.
"Qarabag" finished the overall Champions League stage in 22nd place. During the tournament, the Azerbaijani club defeated "Benfica" (3:2) and "Eintracht" (3:2). In the play-off stage, the team may play against France's PSG or England's "Newcastle United".
