In the last round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, the English club "Liverpool" will host "Qarabag" at their home ground.
This match is one of the most watched games in the European media. The reason is simple – "Qarabag". Which defeated a strong team like "Benfica", who have been Portuguese champions 38 times, took points from the English giant "Chelsea", and despite referee errors, crushed "Eintracht" with a last-second goal.
The situation is not so good in "Liverpool". The team will come to the match after a 2:3 defeat against "Bournemouth" in the Premier League. "Liverpool" had a great advantage in the Champions League to get into the top eight by winning 3:0 away against "Marseille". The match with "Qarabag" is also of great importance. Because a victory can ensure the English club to get into the top eight. A draw will put "Liverpool" in a position dependent on the results of other matches.
But the team has difficulties on this way - injuries in defense and attack: Joe Gomez, Conor Bradley, Giovanni Leoni, Federico Chiesa, Alexander Isak. And Ibrahima Konate's absence from the team due to family matters.
"Qarabag" is not just a participant in the Champions League this season. The Aghdam representative is in the 18th place in the tournament table and if they achieve a positive result, they can advance to the play-off stage, which will be a great success in the club's history. Our team maintained this claim with a last-minute victory over "Eintracht".
Qurban Gurbanov preserved the strength of the team's main squad and avoided possible injuries in the last match against "Kapaz" in the national championship. Only five of the players who played against "Eintracht" entered the field as substitutes. Elvin Jafarquliyev, Marko Jankovic, Leandro Andrade and Camilo Duran entered the field in the 62nd minute, and Pedro Bicallo replaced Addai in the 82nd minute.
There are no injured players in the team. Although Badavi Huseynov was injured in the game against "Kapaz", later the head of the club's Communication Department, Anar Hajiyev, said in a statement to Idman.Biz that there was no serious problem with Badavi and that the doctors said that everything was in order.
These days, the European media also focuses on the two goals scored by "Qarabag"'s Colombian striker Camilo Duran in the last round and writes that "Liverpool" will suffer due to the injured strikers we mentioned above.
It should be noted that the UEFA Champions League match "Liverpool" - "Qarabag" will be held today at 23:59 Baku time.
