When asked which club is more famous, former Moscow "Spartak" midfielder Aleksandr Samedov chose "Spartak." This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
Samedov emphasized that the "Spartak" club has many fans across the country and has historically always been a people's club. In his opinion, once "Spartak" becomes a people's club, it will always maintain that status.
For this reason, Samedov noted that "Spartak" is more famous than "Zenit." Currently, after two rounds in the 2025/2026 season of the Russian championship, "Spartak" is in tenth place in the league table with three points.
"Zenit," on the other hand, has accumulated four points and is in sixth place. In the fifth round of the current season, on August 16, the two teams will meet in Moscow.
This match is of great significance for both clubs and will be closely watched by fans. The rivalry between "Spartak" and "Zenit" has always been intense.
Therefore, this clash is expected to be an important event for football enthusiasts.
