"Bayer and Liverpool were considered dangerous among our relative rivals. Recently, Leverkusen are even stronger than the English club."
This was said by Aftandil Hajiyev, the former player of Qarabag, who was a guest of Idman Bizde program.
The 42-year-old specialist evaluated the draw of the 1/8 final stage of the Europa League. Hajiyev said that the main advantage of Qarabag, the rival of Bayer, is knowing the opponent well: "Their team is very strong. It is enough to name 3-4 players. Victor Boniface, Florian Wirtz are already in the attention of many top clubs. They have not been defeated for a long time. The only happy part is that we know this opponent. The performance of Qarabag at this stage is a great achievement for our country. Leveling up a stage with 10 players in the matc with Braga creates hope that we will be optimistic about the game with Bayer. This time there will be different matches against them."
It should be noted that in the first game of the 1/8 finals, Qarabag will host Bayer in Baku on March 7. The return match will be held on the 14th of the month.
