This week on the Russian Football News Podcast, James & David are joined by none other than Match TV Commentator, Pundit and Broadcaster Mikhail Polenov. The trio discusses the return of European Football since our last regular podcast, and it’s been quite the week.

Lokomotiv battled hard to another brilliant result, drawing 0-0 away in Madrid, while Zenit and Krasnodar were both unfortunately eliminated from the Champions League after losses to Lazio and Sevilla respectively. We also have a Moscow Derby to unpack, some controversy surrounding Stanislav Cherchesov’s interview in which he vehemently lambasted players in his squad while defending his current record, and boardroom shuffles at Spartak.
