"The arrival of such teams in Azerbaijan is already considered a victory."
Idman.biz reports that Ramin Musayev, who was the president of the PFL from 2008 to 2022, said this in his statement to Telegraf while evaluating "Qarabag"'s rivals in the UEFA Champions League.
He said that he believes that the Aghdam representative will win points: "I think it is possible to get points from 2-3 teams. We can do this especially in our home games. Last season, we did not play badly with "Ajax" at home in the main stage of the UEFA Conference League. Maybe if Julio Romao had not received a red card and left his team in the minority, the score would not have been 0:3. But both "Ajax" and "Eintracht Frankfurt" are not just any teams. The only "agreeable" opponent is "Copenhagen" (laughs - ed.). The use of the words Qarabag and Azerbaijan in the stadiums of "Liverpool", "Napoli", "Benfica" and "Athletic Bilbao" already means victory. As for "Chelsea", if we speak a little realistically, we have not reached that level yet. However, I believe that Gurban Gurbanov will prepare his players well against them."
Musayev said that "Qarabag" will gain great experience from these games: "This is a very important factor. Remember that "Qarabag" performs better against strong opponents. I don't believe that there will be complacency in the players of teams like "Chelsea", "Liverpool" and "Napoli". Moreover, I think they are already worried when they hear the name "Qarabag" (laughs - ed.)."
It should be noted that "Qarabag" will face "Liverpool" (England), "Benfica" (Portugal), "Napoli" (Italy) and "Athletic" (Spain) away in the main stage of the UEFA Champions League, and "Chelsea" (England), "Eintracht" (Germany), "Ajax" (Netherlands) and "Copenhagen" (Denmark) at home.
