Qarabagh goalkeeper Shahrudin Mahammadaliyev shared the details of the conversation in the locker room during the match between the Aghdam representative and Benfica in the first round of the Champions League.
Idman.biz reports that the match ended with a historic victory for Qarabagh with a score of 3:2.
"The coach said before the game: 'Guys, maybe we won't have a chance to play in the group stage of the Champions League in such big stadiums again.' When Benfica was ahead 2-1, Gurban Gurbanov said during the break, 'Don't forget, this is the Champions League! Enjoy it. Play! And the guys succeeded,'" Mahammadaliyev told "Championship".
The football player noted that the team recovered after a weak start and made a comeback in the game: "We conceded two goals in the first half, but then we took control of the game. We created more chances and believed in ourselves. We were preparing and following all the instructions of the head coach. At the very least, we thought we wouldn't lose, but God gave us victory."
