"Athletic" defender Aitor Paredes shared his expectations ahead of the match against "Qarabagh" in the third round of the Champions League group stage, which will be held in Bilbao on October 22.
According to Idman.Biz, the Spanish club's football player believes that his team will be able to win their first points in the Champions League:
"This game is vital, we have no points in our asset, so we want to win and put everything on the field for this purpose. "Qarabagh"'s six points are not accidental - they are difficult to defeat. There is no tension, but at the same time there is a need for victory. We must show more sports character," said the 25-year-old defender, speaking to Radio Nervon.
The football player also commented on head coach Ernesto Valverde's opinion, which caused a stir, about scoring nine goals against "Qarabagh":
"I don't understand the forecast about nine goals. We respect the strength of "Qarabagh", we don't consider ourselves favorites. We will go to the field to win, but we respect the opponent," said A. Paredes.
The football player added that the team is aware of its responsibility and hopes for the support of the fans in "San Mames".
It should be noted that the "Athletic" - "Qarabagh" match will start at 20:45 Baku time. The Aghdam club has six points in its asset and is in the first place in the tournament table. Valverde's team has not yet been able to score points and is in fourth place.
