Former Kaliningrad “Baltika” player Maksim Nizovtsev, who represented the Kazakhstan national team, shared his thoughts on “Qayrat” team's advancement to the main stage of the competition among Europe's strongest clubs. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The team defeated “Celtic” in the decisive match in a penalty shootout. According to Nizovtsev, this was a very significant achievement for the club, as it was their first time reaching the main stage of the Champions League.
The team has a good harmony between quality foreign players and young Kazakh footballers. Within the Champions League, “Qayrat” will play at home against Madrid's “Real”, “Brugge”, “Olympiacos”, and “Pafos”, as well as away matches against “Inter”, “Arsenal”, “Sporting”, and “Copenhagen”.
This competition is a great opportunity for the team's development and to showcase themselves on the international stage.
