In a focus game in the second round of the Champions League stage that ended in the early morning of October 2, Karabakh from Azerbaijan continued his dark horse's character. They defeated Copenhagen 2-0 at home and won two consecutive games in the Champions League. In the first round of the game, Karabach created a big upset. When they were behind 0-2 at the time away, they scored three goals in a row and reversed the Portuguese Super League giant Benfica, which directly made Benfica's senior management furiously change coaches, and Mourinho was able to take office.

And in the second round, they returned to home court, their opponent was Denmark's league powerhouse Copenhagen. The latter tied Leverkusen 2-2 in the first round, and his strength should not be underestimated.

But Karabach defeated the strong opponent again at home. In the 28th minute, Bikalo's shot hit the box, and Sabuki scored with a complementary shot, and Karabach rewrites the score to 1-0.

The side changes again. In the 83rd minute, Adei flashed in front of the penalty area and then scored a long shot, helping Karabach lock the score at 2-0. After 2 rounds, Karabach won 6 points in two games, advancing with Real Madrid, Inter Milan and Bayern, and is in the direct promotion zone. It is no exaggeration to say that this strong team, which is geographically located in Asia, is indeed the biggest dark horse at the start of the Champions League this season.

Referring to the qualifying score line in the first stage of the Champions League last season, if you score 11 points in 8 games, you can squeeze into the top 24 (participate in the top 16 play-offs), which also means that Karabach will only score 5 points in the remaining 6 games, and is expected to squeeze into the top 16 play-offs.

Karabach's remaining 6 rounds of Champions League schedule: Athletic Bilbao (away), Chelsea (home), Naples (away), Ajax (home), Frankfurt (home), Liverpool (away)
