CSKA was defeated by Rubin after two mistakes by debutant goalkeeper Ilya Pomazun.

Pomazun instead of Akinfeev

It is already known that the first number of CSKA, Igor Akinfeev, will miss the next few matches of the team due to injury. Therefore, the young Ilya Pomazun took the place at the gate for the game with Rubin. The 20-year-old goalkeeper played his first match at the adult level. Before that, he played only for the youth team of CSKA, but he tried himself in the youth Champions League. Of course, Pomazun took part in the pre-season matches of the first team, but he never played a single official game at the adult level.

Before the starting whistle, the fans’ tribune of the army team unanimously supported the young debutant with the charge “Amazon Ilya!” True, Ilya was somehow not at all lucky with his debut. He conceded a goal in the second minute. The fault, of course, is not only the inexperienced goalkeeper. CSKA concedes once again after a set piece. After a corner kick, the army team did not have time to quickly get the ball out of the penalty area, and Jonatas was the first to get it.

Rubin, inspired by the excellent start of the match, continued to attack. And ten minutes later he again brought his Brazilian scorer to the shock position. Jonatas easily launched the ball into the corner closest to Pomazun. An obvious mistake of an inexperienced goalkeeper. I wonder what is more in this mistake - nerves, or still not enough high level of training. And will they bet on Pomazun in the next game? After two goals conceded, Ilya cautiously looked at each approaching attack of the guests. From a distance it was not visible whether Pomazun's knees were shaking, but it seemed that everything was so. So the main question of the match is whether Jonatas closed the way to the base for the young goalkeeper with his goals.

Shchennikov's first goal

CSKA continues to rotate every match. It's hard to imagine how you can change the composition, which already lacks performers. But Goncharenko succeeds. Rotation, of course, is minimal. And it mainly affects two positions - the attacker and the central defender. Periodically, a small rest is due to the main star of the Vitinho team, as well as Vasin and the Berezutsky brothers in turn. This time only Vasin remained in reserve. But his absence did not affect the number of errors in the defense. However, after 0:2 by the tenth minute of the match, the army team did not panic. Moreover, a miracle happened - Georgy Shchennikov scored his first goal for CSKA. The defender opened up in time for Vitinho's perfect pass. After that, he had only to outwit Ryzhikov, which was done.

All events with three goals fit into 13 minutes of the first half, after which the opponents slowed down a bit. CSKA tried to win back, and Rubin went on the defensive, it seemed that Kazan was tired.

Restructuring "Rubin". Continuation

CSKA midfielder Alan Dzagoev assured before the match that Kurban Berdyev's "Rubin" in all its glory, we will see the round by the seventh, or even the tenth. So far, Kazan has enough weak points. And one of them is still defensive. Bauer-Granat-Kudryashov combinations are already the fourth in four opening matches of the season. Injuries also contributed to this rotation to some extent. But so far, none of these combinations have played without conceded goals. Although it is necessary to take into account the level of rivals of the rebuilt Rubin. Behind the game with Krasnodar and Zenit, Lokomotiv is also next in line. It is possible that in the next match we will see another combination of three central defenders - Rubin has rented ex-Krasnodar Ragnar Sigurdsson. Before the game with CSKA, Berdyev did not rule out the appearance of a football player in the starting lineup. As a result, the defender was not even in the application, although he arrived with the team for the match.

But nothing, we managed without the Icelander. With great difficulty and pain. With beautiful counterattacks, and not scored right moments from Azmun and Karadeniz in the second half. And with the help of sometimes almost imperceptible, and sometimes not very beautiful puffs of time, to which CSKA fans reacted angrily.

"Rubin" wins the second victory in a row, and CSKA suffers the second defeat in four matches.

This was the first time in the history of the Champions League that clubs from the same country played in the final.

Six years later, in the 2005/06 season, Barcelona and Arsenal competed for the trophy at the Stade de France. The Londoners, who played in the minority from the 18th minute after the removal of goalkeeper Jens Lehmann, opened the scoring 10 minutes before the break, but in the second half goals from Samuel Eto'o and Juliano Belletti brought the victory to the Catalans - 2:1.

In the 2000/01 season, Bayern and Valencia played a dramatic match in Milan, in which penalty kicks played a major role. Already in the 2nd minute, Gaiska Mendieta took the Spaniards ahead from the penalty spot, and after 4 minutes the goalkeeper of the “Bats” Santiago Canizares repelled the 11-meter shot by Mehmet Scholl. At the beginning of the second half, Stefan Effenberg equalized from the penalty spot, and the fate of the match was decided in a series of post-match strikes, in which the Bayern players were more accurate.

15 years later, in May 2016, Real Madrid and Atlético in the same arena almost exactly repeated the scenario of the game between Bayern and Valencia. Regular time also ended with a score of 1:1, in extra time the teams failed to distinguish themselves, and the Royal Club won in the penalty shootout.

The 2004 Champions League Final, held in Gelsenkirchin, is one of the most memorable for fans from Russia, as one of the goals was scored by Dmitry Alenichev. Midfielder "Porto" set the final score of the match against "Monaco" (3:0). The Portuguese team at that time was led by José Mourinho, who became the youngest head coach in history to win the main club trophy in Europe.

Olympic Stadium (Istanbul, Turkey). Opened in 2002. It seats 80,500 spectators.

Currently, the arena in Istanbul bears the name of the first president of Turkey, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, and is the largest in the country.

The Istanbul Champions League final in 2005 is arguably the greatest in the history of the tournament. In the decisive match, "Milan" after the first half smashed "Liverpool" with a score of 3:0, but in the second half of the meeting, goals from Gerrard, Schmicer and Alonso turned everything upside down.

The home arena of one of the most successful clubs in modern football hosted the Champions League final only once - in the 2009/10 season, but this is the only match so far made history.

In the Madrid final met "Inter" and "Bayern". The match ended with a score of 2:0 in favor of the Italian club, and José Mourinho, who was working with the Nerazzurri at that moment, became the third coach in history who managed to win the Champions Cup with two different teams (now there are already five of them: in addition to the Portuguese, this Ernst Happel, Ottmar Hitzfeld, Jupp Heynckes and Carlo Ancelotti).

An interesting fact is that in the Milanese final in 2010 there was only one Italian - Marco Materazzi, and he appeared on the field in the 90th minute of the match.

Wembley (London, England). Opened in 2007. Accommodates 90,000 spectators.

The score was opened only in the 83rd minute after a strike by the hosts' striker Thomas Muller, but five minutes later the Londoners' attack leader Didier Drogba restored the balance.

The fate of the trophy was decided in a penalty shootout. Bayern again took the lead after Philipp Lahm's accurate strike and Juan Mata's miss, but then the guests' players realized all their attempts, while the German team's players made two misfires. Thus, Chelsea won the Champions League for the first time in its history.

Millennium (Cardiff, Wales). Opened in 1999. It seats 73,930 spectators.

The home arena of the Wales national team was opened at the turn of the millennium, having received the appropriate name, but in 2016 the stadium received a new name - Principality Stadium, which, with a certain amount of fantasy, can simply be translated as "The Prince's Stadium", since Wales is part of the United Kingdom, and the Queen's son Elizabeth II Charles bears the title of Prince of Wales.

But back to the Champions League. The final of the main European club tournament took place here in 2017, and the participants in that match were Real and Juventus. Madrid won 4-1 to win a second Champions League title in a row, and football fans will remember that meeting with the super goal of Turin striker Mario Mandzukic.

Metropolitano (Madrid, Spain). Opened in 1994. Renovated in 2017. It seats 67,700 spectators.

Liverpool, who reached the final for the second time in a row, won the match 2-0. In his third Champions League final as head coach, Jurgen Klopp won the trophy.

On August 6, 2017, a new goalkeeper appeared at the gates of CSKA. The place of Igor Akinfeev, who has been permanent for 14 years now, has been taken by 20-year-old Ilya Pomazun.

Ilya is from a goalkeeping football family. His father Alexander Pomazun in the 90s defended the colors of Spartak, Kharkov Metalist, Saturn, Baltika, Torpedo-ZIL and many other clubs of the highest and first leagues. In 1990, Pomazun Sr. won the U18 European Youth Championship as part of the USSR national team, being its first number, and was also involved in the national team of Ukraine.

Ilya was born in Kaliningrad in 1996, where his father was playing then. Pomazun Jr. began his acquaintance with football at the Torpedo-ZIL school (aka FC Moscow), but after 5 years he moved to CSKA, so he can be considered a full-fledged pupil of the army.

At the age of 15, Pomazun made his debut in the youth team of CSKA, sat on a bench behind the 16-year-old Revyakin in the first team of the army and survived a severe rupture of the cruciate ligaments of the knee. Since the autumn of 2013, he began to train with the base of the red-blue, but he played his first match for the first team only 4 years later. It is curious that while still being the goalkeeper of the children's team of FC Moscow, Pomazun scored from a free kick against Moscow Spartak.

Before the start of the 2017/18 season, Ilya sewed the first number on the goalkeeper's sweater, which previously belonged to Sergei Chepchugov, who had left for Yenisei, and after Igor Akinfeev's injury, he made his debut in the Russian championship in a meeting with AEK. The first match of Pomazun turned out to be just a nightmare - by the 10th minute of the match he made two unforgivable mistakes. In the 2nd minute of the meeting with Rubin, he dropped the ball after a corner kick, and after 8 minutes he missed it into the near corner. Both times Pomazun was upset by Jonatas, and CSKA lost that evening 1:2.

The former Spartak striker, and now football expert Valery Reingold, quite harshly assessed the game of the young goalkeeper:

- The share of the goalkeeper is as follows: you help out or spoil. Today he screwed up. Young guy, 20 years old, don't bet. Let the administrator stand at the gate. The mazun came out twitchy, no experience, no character either.

A couple of days later, in the game against Tosno, Pomazun conceded again, but this time the goalkeeper's mistake was not so obvious and did not affect the result.

Although in training the guy looks decent

His idols are Igor Akinfeev and Manuel Neuer, although in other interviews he said that in terms of the manner of playing he is equal to Casillas and Joe Hart. Although outwardly, of course, he looks more like David De Gea.
