Portuguese player: “We’ve been in Azerbaijan’s position before”

“We have prepared for this match just like we do for every game.”

This statement was made by Anna Borges, a player for the Portugal national team, as reported by Idman.biz.

Ahead of today’s Euro 2025 playoff match against the Azerbaijani team, the 34-year-old player shared her expectations for the encounter: “We take the responsibility for winning. We have been in Azerbaijan’s position before and know they deserve to be where they are now. However, we want to play our football and achieve victory. We know that the Azerbaijan team has good players who support each other until the end. If we can play our game, we can secure the win.”

Borges highlighted that players from their team are joining some of Europe’s top clubs: “This shows how valuable their work is. We have players like Kika Nazareth at Barcelona, and Jessica Silva and Ana Seiça playing in the Mexican league. This reflects the strength of Portuguese football.”

The Azerbaijan vs. Portugal match will kick off at 16:00 at the Dalga Arena.
