Is the German giant afraid of the Azerbaijani champion? Bayer's amusing reaction to Qarabag

Before the UEFA Champions League group stage draw, "Bayer 04 Leverkusen" published an interesting post on social media.

According to BAKU.WS, a popular meme from the "Star Wars" movie was posted on the club's official "X" account.

The publication states: "Today is the Champions League draw!", followed by the phrase: "Great! We won't get drawn against "Qarabag", right?", which attracted special attention.

The reason for this joke is the dramatic confrontation between the German club and "Qarabag" in the 1/8 finals of the Europa League last season. The Agdam club maintained their advantage until the last minutes of the match, but in extra time, "Bayer" snatched victory and advanced to the next round.

The publication quickly gathered thousands of likes and comments. Fans noted that "Qarabag's" qualification for the Champions League made a big impression, and the club is perceived in Europe as a serious opponent.
