Kairat head coach Rafael Urazbakhtin spoke about the Kazakh club’s ambitions in the Champions League after they reached the group stage for the first time in club history.
Rafael Urazbakhtin for Championat
Everyone writes that we are the point donors in the Champions League. That hurts – we want to show ourselves and prove the opposite. We will try to put on a worthy performance. We don’t feel any particular pressure, we’re staying calm.
Kairat’s opponents in the group stage include Real Madrid, Inter, Club Brugge, Arsenal, Olympiacos, Sporting, Pafos and Copenhagen.
On Thursday, September 18, the Almaty club plays Sporting in the first matchday of the Champions League group stage.
