Former player Luka Jorjevich of the St. Petersburg "Zenit" football club believes that the "blue-white-sky blue" team deserves to play in the UEFA Champions League. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to him, everyone is eagerly awaiting the return of Russian football to the international stage. "Zenit" and its stadium in St. Petersburg consider the team's participation in the Champions League to be justified, reports the "Match TV" channel.
It should be noted that Russian national teams and clubs have been banned from international competitions since February 2022. Last season, "Zenit" finished second in the Premier League standings.
The team, led by Sergey Semak, finished second with one point less than "Krasnodar." This situation is raising hopes for the return of Russian football to the international arena.
