Former Zenit midfielder Denis Ugarov told RB Sport that CSKA’s victory in the FONBET Cup of Russia was natural, and all the trophies of Krasnodar are yet to come.
On Sunday, CSKA won the Russian Cup by beating Krasnodar in the Superfinal. The main time of the meeting, held at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow, ended with a score of 1:1, in the penalty shootout the army team turned out to be more accurate – 6:5.
– I would not call the Russian Cup final the icing on the cake of the football season, but the game was interesting, both teams had moments. That is, the closing of the season turned out to be worthy. CSKA won naturally. And the skill of Igor Akinfeev played a key role. Because a penalty kick is a lottery that the goalkeeper of the army has dealt with. Plus, there was probably some kind of psychological pressure on those who tried to beat him – after all, Akinfeev played at the World Cup, everyone remembers the match with the Spaniards. Perhaps the Krasnodar players had some kind of excitement about this in their heads.
– Krasnodar was as close as possible to its first trophy in 15 years. Do not feel sorry for the Galitsky team?
– It’s okay, Zenit also went to its success for a long time, so Krasnodar has everything ahead, if the funding remains at the proper level, then such a team can do anything. Next year, maybe they will come up with another cup.

Roma’s Ukrainian striker Artem Dovbik According to Il Tempo, he will have to undergo surgery.
It turned out that the injury the 28-year-old striker received in the match against Lecce in the 19th round of the Italian Serie A was more serious than expected. After new tests, Roma and the player decided to undergo surgery to remove the musculotendinous lesion on the left thigh.
Therefore, Dovbik will probably not be able to help the Ukrainian national team in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. The striker is unlikely to recover for the match against the Swedish national team on March 26.
Dovbik was injured in the match between Lecce and Roma in the 19th round of Serie A on January 6. Artem scored in the 71st minute, setting the final score of the match (2:0), and left the field due to injury in the 86th minute.

Former coach of the Ukrainian national team Jozsef Szabo Meta.ua has exclusively chosen the version of the three best Ukrainian football players of this season for its website.
“In the first row, Ilya Zabarny is almost out of the competition,” Sabo said. – As far as I remember, there has been no regression in the game yet. Yes, the defender had unimpressive tackles, but these were isolated cases. But he’s only 23 years old. The contract with Paris Saint-Germain shows that this football player is currently one of the best in Europe. And do not forget that at that age he played 55 matches for the Ukrainian national team.
I will give second place to Ruslan Malinovsky, who seems to have found a second youth after being injured. This guy’s head is clear, making great passes is not difficult for a midfielder. Largely thanks to Malinovsky’s effective play, the Ukrainian national team managed to qualify for the play-offs in the 2026 World Cup qualifying tournament.
The third will be Everton’s left back Vitaly Mikolenko. He is a consistent starter for his team. And no matter what position the team is in, the English league is still the strongest league in Europe. He is an irreplaceable football player in the national team.
