“You need to watch the Champions League matches to understand how football is developing” – Igonin

The former defender of Zenit and the Russian national team, Alexei Igonin, did not single out any of the formed pairs in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, emphasizing that it is now important for Russians to observe how world football is developing.

– In fact, the draw is more exciting when our clubs participate. Not always the final and the semi-finals, and even some group games can turn out to be both interesting and tedious. You need to watch any match, regardless of whether it is worthy of the final or not. Probably, for us now the most important thing is that our teams do not participate in European competitions, to see how it develops, where football is heading, – Igonin told Gazeta.Ru.

The draw for the quarter-finals of the Champions League took place on Friday. The composition of the pairs is as follows:

Real Madrid (Spain) – Chelsea (England);

Inter (Italy) – Benfica (Portugal);

Manchester City (England) – Bayern (Germany);

Milan (Italy) – Napoli (Italy).

Live broadcasts of the Champions League matches take place on the TV channels of the Match group, and you can also follow the progress of the games on the websites matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru.
