Sports 18:42, 27-07-2025

Coach Raul Riancho, who worked with the Moscow "Spartak" team in 2018, shared his thoughts on the currently most popular club in Russia. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

According to him, "Spartak" has many great names and achievements in its history, but currently, St. Petersburg's "Zenit" is ahead of "Spartak." Riancho explained this by the fact that "Zenit" has been leading in the national championship in recent years.

Last season, the team led by Sergey Semak was unable to win the championship title for the first time in six years and fell one point behind "Krasnodar." "Spartak's" last gold medal corresponds to the 2016-2017 season of the Russian Premier League.

Thus, "Zenit" is currently considered the most popular and successful club in Russia.
