"Of course, we are very disappointed. We were very close to the quarter finals.
Qarabag football player Bahlul Mustafazada told Idman.biz.
Returning from the second leg of the Europa League last-16 against Bayer in Germany, the defender of the champion of Azerbaijan expressed his opinion about the meeting: "Maybe before the game, no one would have thought that there would be such a scenario, that we would be so close to calling the stage. We regret this. On the other hand, we are proud of ourselves that we played such a game against such an opponent and missed the chance to call a round in the last minutes."
Bahlul also commented on not being able to take advantage of a favorable goal episode in the last minutes of extra time: "Maybe it was the last minute, fatigue was playing role. I would like to score a goal. This ball would not bring victory, we would have to play another 30 minutes."
Mustafazada also expressed his opinion about the match lasting more than the added minutes and the red card: "We were thinking about the victory. We played well against them in Baku. We approached with the motivation given by that match. We were very close to it during the game.
I can't say anything about playing a minute longer. I don't think Elvin's episode was red. Because I also participated in that episode."
It should be noted that Qarabag lost 2:3 in the match organized at BayArena in Leverkusen and finished the European Cup season.
