Two clubs chasing UEFA Europa League glory will do battle today in a match between Inter Milan and Qarabag. The group-stage match scheduled for 3 p.m. ET will be held at the San Siro in Milan and can be live streamed here free.
Qarabag goalkeeper Ibrahim Sehic had this to offer ahead of today's European encounter (via UEFA): "Nobody knows how we will do against one of the leading Italian clubs. We will try to enjoy our game and most importantly, show that we have a strong and united squad worthy of respect."
Manager Gurban Gurbanov added: "We need to prepare wisely and count on those who are fit. It'll be a severe battle against a top side from Italy."
Defender Ansi Agolli shared the same optimistic attitude and doubled down on his camp's message.
"Things happen in football, so you never know. Who would have thought our national team would beat Portugal in an away game? But we did. So QarabaÄŸ can dream about prevailing at Inter. You cannot forget what kind of opposition we are up against, though. This is a world-famous team, so you can't expect an easy ride."
