"We are very happy to have reached the Champions League play-off stage. Our job is difficult. Because there are no easy opponents in this stage. We will have to work hard for a good result."
These words were said by Qarabag's football player Emmanuel Addai.
The 24-year-old Ghanaian midfielder said that the team's potential opponents in the next stage are considered to be among the strongest clubs in Europe.
"PSG has star players in their squad. Newcastle is distinguished by a very aggressive and fast style of play. But we are Qarabag. The struggle we have shown during the season has proven that we do not fear any opponent. We will go out on the field and play our own game," he said in a statement to AZERTAC.
It should be noted that despite the 0:6 defeat against Liverpool in England in the last round of the main stage, Qarabag, who finished the tournament table in 22nd place with 10 points, qualified for the next round. Thus, the "bay horses" became the first Azerbaijani club to reach the play-off stage of the Champions League.
