"This is a tremendous achievement for both "Sabah" and Azerbaijani football," said Natan Oduva, the Nigerian forward who has played for "Shamakhi" and "Turan Tovuz", in a statement to Offsideplus.az.

"First of all, I congratulate "Sabah" on qualifying for the league stage of the Champions League. This is a magnificent achievement for both "Sabah" and Azerbaijani football," he added.

The 30-year-old footballer also shared his thoughts on the upcoming match against "Manchester United":

"I believe that "Sabah" will play very well. However, it should also be noted that regardless of the result, "Sabah" has already achieved great success. This club should be proud of itself."
