Number 40!

25.05.2009
We are the Champions!
Hypermotivated CSKA torn to bits yesterday's successors Khimki and won 40th national title in clubs history (24 in USSR, 16 in Russia).

Khimki Moscow Region vs. CSKA: 0-0

Ettore Messina:

“Our players showed a lot of character today, all their abilities. I don’t want to exaggerate but I think it was a dominant performance by our team – psychologically, technically, tactically. We took control of the game immediately from the beginning and got absolutely deserved win. I hope it will close all the polemics which arose after second and third games. We won by a big margin in two of three games in this series. As for my future I have no idea yet. I should talk to Andrey Vatutin to understand what is the future of the team and I will decide after that.”
