Neftchi PFC head coach Samir Abasov commented on the draw in the first qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League. An experienced specialist told the club's official website:

"Our opponent has been identified a while ago. Now it is difficult to comment on the opponent. From today, we will begin to analyze and investigate the opponent. The main advantage of Tbilisi Dynamo is that the Georgian championship is currently underway. The team is in good shape, beating Samtredia 2-0 away two days ago. On the other hand, we know the head coach of Dinamo Kakhaber Tskhadadze well. I played for Baku Inter under his leadership, I know what he is capable of. True, we have certain problems. For example, some of our players could not join the training due to visa problems, and those who returned from the national team were given rest because they were tired. I'm not saying this to panic, we will seriously prepare for the game. Of course, we have advantages. Frankly, if you had asked before the draw, I would not have been able to distinguish between the competitors. Regardless of his identity, we would analyze and prepare the opponent in the same way. From our own perspective, we are not a team with great experience in the Champions League, we have been away from this tournament for many years. This will be a test for us, and I believe we will pass this test. Of course, we have a chance to pass the stage. Hopefully, with the support of our people and fans, we will pass the stage. "

The first match against Dinamo will take place away on July 6-7, and the return match will take place on July 13-14 at Bakcell Arena.
