Football experts Thierry Henry and Jamie Carragher touched upon Qarabag's (3:2) victory over Portuguese Benfica in Lisbon while commenting on the first-round matches of the UEFA Champions League on CBS Sports.
İdman.biz reports with reference to azerisport.com that Thierry Henry, a former French national team player, said that his social media feed was full of Azerbaijani flags this week.
He emphasized that he saw thousands of messages in his account: "I was just trying to tell the truth. 'Qarabag' is really a strong team. They are very good both with and without the ball. I think that's their main strength."
It should be noted that Henry predicted that the Aghdam representative would surprise before the match against Benfica.
Football expert Jamie Carragher did not hide his surprise at Henry's prediction: "If I said that I was not surprised to see Azerbaijani flags in Thierry's social media accounts, I would be lying. He already shares his predictions all over Europe. I agree with what he said about 'Qarabag'. This is a really impressive team. Discipline and quality of play, both with and without the ball - that's what sets them apart. I think that's their main strength."
