Chelsea legend Pat Nevin has warned the Blues not to underestimate Tuesday’s Champions League’s opponents Qarabag.
“Our opponents Qarabag, this being their first time at this stage, will be very excited but they should under no circumstances be underestimated,” Nevin wrote in Chelsea’s official website.
“I watched them a while back in qualifiers against Celtic and they certainly have some talent, a very pleasing-on-the-eye style of play and a particularly impressive spirit to boot.
“They have fought through six games already to get this far and although they are comparative minnows, a quick look at our history shows there was the odd banana skin not avoided in the past, with Basel standing out.
“Drawn in a very strong group this time round, a six-point haul is an absolute requirement against the Azerbaijani outfit.”
