"Benfica is a very strong team at home. They always play in front of full stands."
Idman.biz reports that these words were said by Ricardo Fernandes, the goalkeeper of "Shamakhi", in his statement to Sport24.az.
The 30-year-old Portuguese goalkeeper shared his thoughts on the "Benfica" - "Qarabag" match, which will be held in the main stage of the UEFA Champions League:
"Qarabag's mission will be difficult. But football is full of surprises. Despite the difficulties, anything can happen. This is the first match of the League stage. Everyone wants to start with a point. I believe that "Benfica" will come to the field with the best "11" and will start the match quickly."
Fernandes said that Benfica is the favorite in the match: "Qarabag" can achieve a result if it does not feel the pressure. The team must first prevent the opponent's attacks and believe in themselves."
It should be noted that today's "Benfica" - "Qarabag" match, which will be held at the "Estadio da Luz" stadium in Lisbon, will start at 23:00 Baku time.
