“After the first game, we had a good advantage. We didn’t start the return match well. When you give chances to such opponents, they take advantage immediately.”
Idman.biz, citing Futbolxeber.az, reports that these were the words of Qarabag midfielder Marko Jankovic while discussing the UEFA Champions League play-off second leg against Ferencvaros.
The Serbian player said that despite the 2-3 loss, Qarabag deserved to advance: “The game was very tough. The opponent had 3-4 more chances. Small details affect the game, especially set pieces were challenging for us. Despite all this, even though we lost the return leg, in the end, we advanced. I congratulate everyone on this. We deserved to advance and play in the league stage.”
He also mentioned which teams he would like to face in the group stage: “Everyone would like to play against Barcelona or Real Madrid. I don’t know if it’s a good idea or a bad one. But if I had to choose, I’d pick Real or Barcelona. Of course, facing such giants will be very difficult. But it’s also an experience. We should enjoy the games.”
Jankovic also spoke about the fans: “The fans gave us excellent support. I thank each one of them. They supported us very well. This is also their victory.”
