The striker gave a statement after the return match of the Champions League play-off stage, in which they lost to the Hungarian club "Ferencvaros" (2:3) in Baku:
"These are very good feelings. We are in the Champions League. Maybe this is something that happens once in a lifetime for every person. We are happy."
The forward commented on the criticism he has faced in recent times: "I don't pay attention. What can I say?"
He also spoke about the goals in the main stage of the Champions League: "We intend to play a good game and get a good result. It doesn't matter which opponent we face here."
It should be noted that "Qarabag", who defeated their opponent 3:1 away, qualified for the main stage of the Champions League.
