Russian football, which was expelled from all international competitions immediately after their subcountry's attack on Ukraine, seems to be going through withdrawal from tournaments for the civilised part of the world.
It is hard to explain the fact that the Russian media started to count the number of clubs participating in European competitions, which have players from Russia in their squads, and publish entire reviews on this topic. And, indeed, what else is left for outcasts in world football to do?
Let us add that there are only five such clubs: Real Sociedad (reached the 1/8 finals of the Champions League), Atalanta (1/8 finals of the Europa League), Qarabag (1/16 finals of the Europa League), PAOK (1/8 finals of the Conference League) and Bude-Glimt (1/16 finals of the Conference League). Each of these teams has one Russian legionnaire.
