This autumn marks 14 years since the legendary victory of “Rubin” Kazan over “Barcelona” in the group stage of the 2009/10 Champions League. Former Kazan goalkeeper Nukri Revishvili reminded the circumstances of this sensational success in the history of “Rubin”.
“We were sure we would lose. The only one who believed in a possible victory at “Camp Nou” was Berdyev. He analyzed his opponent down to the smallest detail. When the guys entered the field, they already knew how to play against Messi, Alves, Ibrahimovic”, - reminds Revishvili for Sport24.
Let us remind that the Kazan team, under the leadership of a Turkmen specialist, took away a victory from “Barcelona” with a score of 2:1. Gökdeniz Karadeniz and Alexander Ryazantsev scored goals for the “Rubies”, while Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored for “Barcelona”.
“Well, luck was also on our side. The football god turned on a little luck when he saw how we were preparing. In the locker room after the match, no one understood what we had done. And then a happy Berdyev came in: “Guys, why are you sitting? You just beat “Barcelona”!” - adds Revishvili.
