Rafael Urazbaxtin, the head coach of "Kayrat", commented on his team's first-ever qualification for the main stage of the UEFA Champions League.
Idman.biz reports that the Kazakhstan champion won the penalty shootout 3:2 after a 0:0 draw in the return match against Scotland's "Celtic" (first match - 0:0).
Sports24.kz presented Urazbaxtin's words as follows: "Our task was to become the champion, win the cup and get to the main stage of the Champions League. We have completed one task. We may not have thought about the main stage. We thought that, at worst, we would play in the Conference League. But now I tell the guys: we did a great job. We'll see what our goal will be, I don't like to make predictions, I like to move forward calmly and gradually. It is even difficult to believe that we got there".
It should be noted that before that, "Kayrat" played at best in the group stage of the UEFA Conference League in the 2021/22 season, and then lost both matches to "Qarabag" - 1:2, 1:2.
