Athletistic/ Football. Vladimir Bystrov, former player of Spartak and Zenit, compared the organization of the finals of the Russian Cup and the Champions League.

“It’s been a long time since we’ve had such a cool final. Everything was at the highest level. It was like a sort of vacation, unlike the Champions League final, which was overshadowed by well-known events. Was -it upset that the final was taken away from St. Petersburg? I, of course, wanted to see the two best teams of the year with my family and friends, but nothing was up to us. Such a decision was made and in the end they did their best,” Bystrov said.

The Champions League final was due to be held in St Petersburg but was eventually moved to Paris, where there were clashes between police and fans ahead of the game. As a result, the match was delayed for 36 minutes.
