The Azerbaijani language translates the likes of Gary Cahill as ‘Hari Kehill’ and Cesc Fabregas as ‘Sesk Fabreqas’.

The only names that doesn’t change through translation are Eden Hazard, Alvaro Morata and Eduardo.

But if any fans may have trouble deciphering the players, don’t worry as their shirt No’s are written next to their names.
