Jeton Beqiri, head coach of Shkëndija, who will face Qarabağ in the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round, spoke ambitiously at the pre-match press conference. He acknowledged that Qarabağ is a strong opponent but expressed confidence in his own team’s abilities:
“We hope to continue our journey in the Champions League. We have high-quality players. We have a chance to advance to the next round.”
The match will take place on August 5 at the Todor Proeski Arena in Skopje. The return leg will be held a week later in Baku.
