In the second leg of the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round, Shkendija lost 1:5 away to Qarabag.

Offsideplus.az reports that at the press conference held after the match, the coach of the North Macedonian team, Jeton Bekciri, shared his thoughts on the match:

"First of all, I congratulate the Qarabag fans. They deserved the victory. The opponent played better than us. These are my first impressions. Tomorrow we will analyze this game and start preparing for the Europa League. There were also physical problems and there was no intensity. Of course, we have tactical shortcomings. The Champions League is not the Conference League or the Europa League. There is more speed here and Qarabag is more experienced in this regard. We did not expect a 5:1 score. We wanted to play better. We will try to draw a result from today's game. This should be an experience for us. I wish Qarabag success."

The specialist spoke about the team's next goals:

"We have already achieved one goal. We have secured the league stage of the Conference League. We also have 2 playoff games ahead. At the same time, our championship has started. We will try to do our best."
