Andrey Arshavin, who played as a forward for London's Arsenal and Saint Petersburg's Zenit clubs, shared his thoughts about Kairat's team qualifying for the UEFA Champions League group stage. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
In his social media post, he called Kairat's qualification for the Champions League group stage a very significant event. Arshavin mentioned that he watched some moments of the match and that his emotions after the penalty shootout were extremely strong, congratulating all team members.
It should be noted that Arshavin played for the Kazakhstan club towards the end of his career. Kairat defeated Scotland's Celtic team on aggregate in the play-off round of the Champions League qualifiers and qualified for the group stage of the tournament for the first time in history.
This achievement is a great success for Kairat and has increased the team's prestige on the international stage.
