“Qarabag will play tonight in such a way that even the spirit of Napoli legend Diego Maradona would applaud them,” said Turkiye’s well-known football commentator Ertem Sener while discussing the UEFA Champions League Group Stage Matchday 5 game between Napoli and Qarabag in Italy.
He noted that all teams face challenges when visiting Naples: “I have commentated there. The atmosphere during the games is completely different. Napoli are the favorites, but I believe the Agdam team will fight until the end. In my opinion, it would not be a surprise if the Azerbaijani champions win in Italy, because Qurban Qurbanov’s squad has repeatedly proven it can take points from big clubs.”
According to the journalist, if Qarabag returns from the trip with even one point, their chances of making it into the top 24 teams will increase: “I strongly believe we can take points at home from Ajax and Eintracht. The game against Chelsea slipped away; we deserved to win. The players must step onto the pitch against Napoli with a desire to win. Qarabag could go to Liverpool as tourists, depending on the points they take from Ajax and Eintracht. I believe in this.”
The match between Napoli and Qarabag will take place today at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, kicking off at 23:59 Baku time.
