Youth and Sports Minister Azad Rahimov assessed Qarabag's chances in the Europa League group stage.
In an exclusive statement to the Turkish bureau of Report Rahimov said he highly appreciated the potential of the Azerbaijani representative. However, in his opinion, no group is easy in such a prestigious race: "Each group has a leader. Of course, Spain’s Sevilla FC is a very strong team. Qarabag is well familiar with Dudelange FC (Luxembourg) and APOEL (Cyprus) because of having matches with them earlier. Of course, there are always chances and they are great. "
The Minister underlined that Turkish representative Galatasaray is in a more difficult group in the Champions League compared to Qarabag: “Galatasaray's matches will be even tougher because of being in the same group as Real Madrid and French PSG. However, everything depends on players."
Notably, Qarabag will play its first match in the Europa League on September 19 in Baku against Spain’s "Sevilla".
