Kevin Lenini, midfielder of the "Krasnodar" football team, emphasized that his team might have the opportunity to reach the Champions League playoff stage. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
In his opinion, if Russian clubs had not been banned from international competitions, "Krasnodar" could have achieved strong results. According to the player, they miss participating in international competitions and specifically want to play in the Champions League.
Lenini noted that the current squad is strong and that there are all possibilities to reach the playoff stage. It is worth mentioning that last season, "Krasnodar" became the Russian champion for the first time in its history.
However, Russian clubs and national teams have been deprived of the right to participate in international tournaments. This ban was imposed by FIFA and UEFA starting from February 2022.
As a result, Russian teams are unable to participate in European and world competitions. This situation is regrettable for players and fans, as they wish to test their abilities on international stages.
