"It seems very difficult for "Qarabag" to achieve a successful result in the Champions League today. Because the difference in the score is large."
These words were said by "Qarabag's" former football player Tarik Elyunussi, while talking about the return match that the Agdam representative will play against "Newcastle" in England in the play-off stage of the UEFA Champions League.
The former midfielder of the Norwegian national team emphasized that it does not seem realistic for the Agdam representative to win a big victory away: "It is very difficult to win 6:0 or 6:1 in Newcastle. I am not saying that this is impossible, anything can happen in football. But it seems very difficult to advance to the next stage. If there was a real chance, it would seem more possible in the first game, that is, in Baku," he said in a statement to AZERTAC.
He stated that he is closely following "Qarabag":
"It is easier to watch the games, especially when they play in the Champions League and in European competitions in general."
Tarik Elyunussi emphasized that "Qarabag" performed successfully in the Champions League this season:
"The team managed to surprise many. I received messages from different people. They are interested in the team because they know that I used to play in "Qarabag". Those who did not know "Qarabag" before are now aware of this club. I think the team has gained great respect in the world for its performance in the Champions League."
The veteran football player also shared his thoughts about his career in Azerbaijan:
"I love Azerbaijan very much. Unfortunately, I could not stay there for a long time, I only played for six months. I came in an injured state and it took time for me to get into full ready form. For this reason, I could not show myself at the level I wanted. It was difficult for me."
He added that he remembers the time he spent in Baku with fond memories:
"The management, coaching staff, football players, in a word, everyone treated me very well at the club. Baku is a magnificent city. I wish I could stay longer and see other regions of the country. I have a great interest in geography, history and culture. I still have contact with some people in Azerbaijan. I plan to visit Baku again in the future."
It should be noted that the "Newcastle" - "Qarabag" match, which will be held today at "St James' Park" stadium, will start at 23:59 Baku time. In the first match, the English club won with a score of 6:1.
