Kick-off: October 22, 2025, at 19:45.

In the third round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Athletic Club will host Qarabağ at San Mamés Stadium in Bilbao. Last season’s Europa League semi-finalists, Athletic has had a rough start in the Champions League. In the opening match, the Basques lost 0-2 at home to Arsenal, followed by a 1-4 defeat away to Borussia Dortmund. After two losses, Ernesto Valverde’s side sits at the bottom of their group with a goal difference of minus five. In La Liga, Athletic have been inconsistent: one win, two draws, and two losses in their last five matches. The Bilbao side is struggling in attack and rarely creates clear chances in front of goal.

The Azerbaijani side sensationally won both of their opening games — against Benfica and Copenhagen — without dropping a point. In the Azerbaijan Premier League, the Horses lead the table, conceding only three goals in six matches. A well-organized defense and confident play in transition make Qarabağ one of the most structured teams in the tournament.

This will be the first-ever meeting between the two clubs. Athletic have previously faced Azerbaijani sides: in the 2015–16 Europa League season, the Basques played Shamakhi FK, winning one match and drawing the other. Now, the Spanish side will look to end its losing streak and regain confidence, while Qarabağ aims to consolidate its lead and continue its sensational run in European competition.
