"We are leaving the UEFA Champions League with our heads held high, not down." According to Sport24.az, these words were written by "Qarabağ" footballer Coni Montiel on his social network account.
The 27-year-old midfielder touched upon his team's successful performance in the continent's number one club tournament this season:
"The team fought and battled against the best clubs and footballers in the world. Together, moving in the same direction, we achieved a very important result. We will fight to return here again. Now it's time to think about what awaits us ahead."
It should be noted that "Qarabağ" was able to advance to the play-off stage of the UEFA Champions League. The team lost to the English club "Newcastle" in this round - 1:6, 2:3. Coni Montiel, who transferred to the Ağdam representative last August, was included in the application for participation in this tournament in November.
