Get ready for a football showdown that many have already written off! Budućnost from Podgorica, the team considered underdogs on paper, is gearing up to battle for a spot in the Champions League against Armenian champions Noe. Left-back Ognjen Gasević is clear and confident: “We believe in ourselves, we’re going for an active result!” Despite widespread skepticism, Budućnost has thoroughly analyzed their opponent and prepared a strategy to stop their fast wing players. The match kicks off at 6 PM at the Abovyan stadium, with a Bulgarian referee team adding to the tension.
But it’s not just about the game! Noe’s sporting director, Hayk Hovakimyan, showed true sportsmanship and heart by presenting a symbolic gift to the son of Budućnost’s recently deceased sporting director, Andrija Delibašić. This touching gesture reminds us that football is more than just a game — it’s about community and respect.
While Noe is the favorite on paper, Budućnost has the crowd’s support and optimism to pull off an upset. The return leg will be held in Podgorica in seven days, where fans plan to pack the stadium and show their love for the team. Will Budućnost shock the football world and continue their European journey? Follow along and join the conversation — who’s your pick, and what do you expect from this clash?
