My First Football Match in Moscow
The fiancé of Victoria’s sister is a Lokomotiv Moscow fan, and it is not very often that they appear in European competition. Knowing that I am also a massive fan of football, they both invited Victoria and Myself along to a UEFA Europa League match between FC Lokomotiv and FC Sheriff of Moldova. Unfortunately, the match ended in a 2-1 victory for FC Sheriff, but Lokomotiv still progressed to the latter stages of the tournament until they were eliminated by eventual winners Atletico Madrid.
My own team, Celtic, finished in 3rd place of our UEFA Champions League group which featured PSG, Bayern Munich and Anderlecht. As a result we parachuted into the knockout stages of the Europa League, where we were eliminated by a second leg defeat to a different Russian team in Zenit St. Petersburg.
I love the colours in this photograph @seanreilly and the composition, it not being the whole pitch which is common. 😊
