10月21日，24直播网报道，欧洲冠军联赛小组赛第三轮赛事中，沙巴巴库在主场与多特蒙德交手，最终以1比2的比分败北。赛后，沙巴巴库队的教练丹布劳斯卡斯出席了媒体访谈。
在开篇之际，我要向多特蒙德致以最热烈的祝贺，他们赢得了当之无愧的胜利。我对我的队伍和球员们感到无比自豪，我们全力以赴地执行了比赛策略，并坚持不懈直至终场哨声响起。在比赛的尾声，我们抓住了几次良机，面对欧洲顶级球队之一，我们成功地将比分咬住，直至第90分钟仍保持悬念。我认为，这样的表现已经足以证明我们的出色。
In the domestic league, the level of competition varies significantly from that of the Champions League. When confronting elite European clubs, one must acclimate to the heightened intensity, pace, and the swift pace of the ball. I believe we managed to do so within the first 15 minutes of the match. Regrettably, we conceded a goal, and our performance in the early stages of the second half was subpar. However, there are numerous lessons to be learned and areas for enhancement.
