We studied it FC Zzenit, we will try to play a good race to bring home the victory.
In the first game with the Club Brugge, FC Zenit he wouldn’t have deserved to lose. Against the Borussia Dortmund, the Russians played differently and stayed in the game until the end against a very strong team
Inzaghi, Lazio Manager on Zenit
I would have liked to have played these last two #UCL races with all the personnel available. I regret having to give up players who have given their all to return to in the last four years @ChampionsLeague
