Russia fell out of the top 10 for the first time since the 2004/05 season, and the anti-record was 21st place in the 2003/04 season.
If Russian clubs are returned to European competitions, then “Zenith” from St. Petersburg will start participation in the Champions League from the first qualifying round. The second and third places will go to the second round of qualifying for the third most important European Cup tournament – the Conference League.
After the start of Russia’s military operation in Ukraine, FIFA (International Football Federation), together with UEFA, like the vast majority of sports structures, removed domestic teams from tournaments under their auspices.
