"First of all, I want to thank the fans. They supported us until the very end."
Idman.biz, citing Sport24.az, reports that these were the words of “Qarabag” footballer Nariman Akhundzada.
The forward spoke after their 2:3 home loss to Hungary’s “Ferencvaros” in the UEFA Champions League play-off second leg: "It’s an amazing feeling. We are in the Champions League. Perhaps this is a once-in-a-lifetime moment for anyone. We are happy."
He also addressed recent criticisms: "I don’t pay attention. What can I say?"
Regarding their goals in the Champions League group stage, Akhundzada said: "We aim to play well and get good results. It doesn’t matter which opponent we face here."
“Qarabag,” having won the first leg 3:1 away, has advanced to the Champions League group stage.
