Based in Azerbaijan, the underdog team is led by Valdas Dambrauskas, who has previously appeared on the Lithuanian version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?

Sabah is participating in the league phase for the first time in their NINE-YEAR history after a remarkable comeback win over Hapoel Be’er Sheva in the playoffs.

As part of the lineup, Puchacz is set to be one of the surprise names looking to disrupt United’s Champions League aspirations.

This Polish star previously spent a loan season at EFL club Plymouth in 2025, where he made 18 appearances.

During his time with Argyle, he notably eliminated United’s fierce rivals Liverpool from the FA Cup.

Puchacz played the entire match as Ryan Hardie’s second-half penalty propelled Plymouth past the Merseyside giants.

The former Panathinaikos player successfully contained threats like Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota, and Federico Chiesa on that unforgettable day at Home Park.

Since moving beyond English football, Puchacz has mingled with several Premier League legends.

The defender paused his 10km run to meet United icon Gary Neville in Marbella.

And just a day later, Puchacz was spotted with another star during his travels.

He took an unexpected selfie with current Real Madrid right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold.

After his loan at Plymouth ended, Puchacz returned to his parent club Holstein Kiel.

He was subsequently loaned out again, this time to Sabah last season, where he achieved a domestic double.

The Champions League newcomers rewarded Puchacz with a permanent transfer in May.
