Karabakh, which made history in the Champions League, is facing the risk of not being able to participate in the Champions League next season as it has fallen 10 points behind the league leader.
As the final weeks approach in the Azerbaijan Premier League, the championship race has intensified. A critical danger has emerged for Karabakh, which has drawn attention with its performance in this season's Champions League.
HAD MADE HISTORY IN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE
Karabakh, which achieved significant success in Europe, reached the last 16 playoff round in the Champions League and was eliminated by Newcastle United. This performance had brought the club into the spotlight of world football.
FELL BEHIND IN THE LEAGUE
However, things did not go as expected for Karabakh in the league. Despite having a game in hand, the team, which is 10 points behind the leader Sabah, faced a serious disadvantage in the championship race.
NO CHAMPIONS LEAGUE IF NOT CHAMPION
In the Azerbaijan Premier League, only the champion team earns the right to participate in the Champions League qualifiers. The teams finishing 2nd and 3rd in the league compete in the Conference League qualifiers.
LAST 8 WEEKS ARE CRITICAL
If Karabakh fails to take the lead in the remaining 8 weeks, it will lose the chance to participate in the Champions League next season. This situation means a significant loss for the club.
