"Qarabag" has repeatedly proven that it can compete head-to-head with teams at the level of "Benfica".
Idman.biz reports that these words were said by Brazilian veteran footballer Danilo Dias, who once played for "Qarabag", in an interview with AZERTAC, while talking about his former team's match against "Benfica" in Portugal today in the first round of the UEFA Champions League main stage.
He stated that he believes that the representative of Aghdam will leave the trip to Lisbon with a point: "Benfica" is a big club in Portugal, that's a fact. But "Qarabag" is capable of competing with any team. The champion of Azerbaijan proved once again that they are an excellent team by eliminating Hungarian "Ferencvaros" in the play-off stage. "Qarabag" shows the whole world, journalists and fans from other countries that there is such a big team in Azerbaijan, and there is professional management in this club. The club has a modern training center and quality stadiums on its balance sheet."
The Brazilian veteran striker said that he hopes that "Qarabag" will be the champion of Azerbaijan this season as well: "Because the best head coach of the country works there. Gurban Gurbanov is both a good person and can manage the team intelligently, and he can bring strong football players from other championships."
It should be noted that today's "Benfica" - "Qarabag" match to be held at the "Da Luz" stadium will start at 23:00 Baku time.
