Mentor Spartak Moscow Massimo Carrera reacted positively to the draw of the group stage of the Champions League, which was held on August 24, 2017 in Monaco.

It should be noted that the draw procedure was conducted by the head coach of the Ukrainian team - Andrey Shevchenko. It is the blue-yellow master who is sincerely grateful to his colleague from the camp of the acting champion of Russia.

The thing is that "Spartacus" was in the same group with the following teams: Sevilla (Spain), Liverpool (England) and Maribor (Slovenia), which in Carrera's opinion is a very good draw.

"A good draw for Spartacus.

We did not get the grants of European football, except for Liverpool, which I consider one of the strongest teams in Europe. All the teams are interesting and strong, on paper they look for us through, and they really compete with them, than with Barcelona, ??Tottenham or Roma, which could get us from the second basket. So you can say that my friends Francesco Totti and Andrei Shevchenko were supportive of "Spartacus".

Recall that his rivals in the most prestigious club tournament in Europe, and learned Donetsk "Shakhtar".
