It would have been good if we had taken points away from "Athletic". But because the levels of the teams and the championships they play in are different, we couldn't keep up the pace."
These words were said by former national football player Ceyhun Sultanov in his statement to sport24.az.
The well-known manager commented on "Qarabağ"'s defeat to "Athletic" away:
"Unfortunately, after scoring the first goal, we couldn't keep the ball. The opponent's pressure didn't allow it. In general, we want a lot from "Qarabağ". We must not forget that if "Athletic" will play with Spanish giants after this game, then "Qarabağ" will play with clubs like "Shamakhi", "Imishli". That's the difference. I wish "Qarabağ" success. I believe they will try to do their best."
It should be noted that the "Athletic" - "Qarabağ" match ended with a 3:1 victory for the home team.
