"The start of the match was difficult, but we believed that we would achieve something in this game."
These words were said by Qarabag player Leandro Andrade after the victory (3:2) against Benfica in the first round of the UEFA Champions League group stage.
"We made a comeback. I already knew that this would be an interesting experience, but the result of the match made the day even better for us. As a child, I tried to think every day about going to the stadium where I watched so many games and scoring a goal. Even if it seems difficult, you have to believe that everything is possible," Andrade told Sport TV.
The player described the match as "difficult": "Benfica is a very strong team, and we know how hard we fought to get here. A 2-0 score is very dangerous in football, because if the other team can make it 2-1, it completely changes the belief in the game. And that's what happened. We want to be strong and move forward game by game. We came to this stadium believing that we could win points."
