we can Already say that in itself is a participation in the Champions League qualification is a great success for the Brest club.
About Dynamo loudly talking in the spring of 2018, when the whole world was excited about the news about moving the legendary Diego Maradona in Belarus. He holds the position of Chairman of the Board, “white-blue” and caught the attention of fans around the world to “Dynamo”. However, it worked for Maradona in a new place in a few months he went to Mexico and returned to coaching.
Well, Dynamo continued his journey. And it should be noted, not without success: in the past year, the team broke a 13-year hegemony BATE and for the first time in history became the champion of the country. In fact, thanks to victory in the national championship Brest for the first time broke into the Champions League.
the results of the draw of the qualification of the Dynamo fell to Kazakhstan “Astana”. The opponent is more than experienced in European competitions, but not impassable.
To determine the winner of this duel will only have one match, which will be held in Belarus 18 or 19 August.

Anatoliy Byshovets: of Course, when you had the chance, I watched the games. I want to note that in some of them, they showed very good football. The dedication and desire to win no one could be to blame.
How do you like competitions in General?
Anatoliy Byshovets: it is Clear that in Belarus there are no stars, but overall quite good. When you watch a few matches in a row and already have a better understanding of who and what is becomes interesting to follow the tournament and beyond. In this sense, I think the Belarusian championship could be new fans.
Brest “Dinamo” first appearance in the Champions League. Do you think of the team chances to get into the group stage?
Anatoliy Byshovets: If objectively, this is unlikely. Much will depend on the opponents and how the coach will prepare the team for matches. Generally, in football, nothing is impossible. However, I believe that Dynamo will be a great success to reach the next round of qualification.
the Champions League is the most prestigious football competition in Europe. With SV��his first drawing in 1955 until 1992, the competition was called the European Cup, in 1992, the tournament was renamed the Champions League.
the Winner of the League was 22 club, 12 of them have won the trophy more than once. The record is real Madrid – 13 times. Real Madrid is the only team in history to have lifted the Champions League three times in a row. The top 10 also includes AC Milan (seven titles), Liverpool (six), Bayern and Barcelona (five), Ajax (four), “inter” and “Manchester United” (three), Juventus, Benfica and “Nottingham Forrest” (for two).
as for the Russian and Belarusian clubs, they have also had some success in the Champions League. Among the highest achievements of the Russian teams have made Spartak Moscow to reach the semi-finals of the 1990/91 season, losing to the Serbian “Tsrvena zvezde”. Recent results worth pointing out the “Zenit” in the 1/8 finals, in which he was weaker than the Portuguese “Benfica”.
If we talk about the Belarusian championship, the only representative of the national League, participated in the group stage of the Champions League, is BATE. That is curious – at the moment the club from Borisov held a tournament exactly 100 matches. The most successful for BATE turned 2012/13, when the Belarusian team sensationally won on the home field Munich “Bavaria” (3:1) in the match of the group stage. To get to the next phase of Borisov failed, but they took third place in the group and made it to the playoffs of the Europa League.
