The UEFA champions league group stage match which was just concluded saw CSKA Moscow fall off the title contenders in the group stage of the game. In group G were Real Madrid, Roma, Plzen and CSKA Moscow respectively after matchday 6.
This is a Happy moan day organised by @pete on a weekly basis. Do well to get your self inline.
During the group stage matches, the Russian club picked 7 points from 6 games; 2 wins, a draw and 3 losses. They stood against all odds and secured 2wins(6points) from the Spanish giant, Real Madrid. As known by most, the Galacticos has successfully won the Uefa Champions league 3 consecutive times; 2016, 2017, 2018 with coach Zinadine Zidane. The Krasno-sinie found their innermost strength against the UCL defending champs, winning them both on home ground and away basis, securing 6 points, yet they couldn't just make it out of the group stage but were trashed at the bottom of the group. Winning the Real Madrid was a thing on its own and winning both matched with a clean sheet is another concept. First leg ended in a 1-0 victory in VEB Arena Luzhniki Stadium while the second leg saw Real Madrid beaten down by 3 goals to nil at the Santiago Bernabéu.
The Red-blues began the UEFA champions league campaign with a solid stand after their first two matches against Viktoria plzeñ and Real Madrid which needed in a 2-2 draw and 1-0 win respectively in favour of CSKA. Hopes were high in the competition until Roma shattered their virtuous desire for future good.
They lost every other games till the matchday 6 where they faced the Galacticos at the Santiago Bernabéu and secured another victory but it was just too late for their redemption. The group stage exit was a sure outcome for them. Heading to the Europa league was no option for them since Plzen edged out Roma 2-1 in the Czech Republic to render the Red-Blues famous victory ultimately meaningless, despite inflicting the heaviest ever European home loss on the record 13-time champions
Coach Viktor Goncharenko told the media, they've got themselves to blame for the exit but in any case, they'll make sure to spend the holiday in a great mood after the win.
An encouragement word.
