“We played a very good game in Baku. After a home game that was not our best, we proved that we can pick ourselves up. Unfortunately, the result didn’t go our way. The referee made some decisions, like the 11th-minute penalty for the home team, which were questionable and we disagree with them. But at the end of the qualification period, I have to say that I am extremely proud of the players, they did their job. They created opportunities, they proved that Olimpija has a bright future,” is for
