We are talking about the final round match of the Champions League group stage, in which the Belgian team “Gent” must take the “Zenith” from St. Petersburg, who had secured early access to the next stage of the League draw.
Representatives of Zenit have responded to this statement by Daniel Termon. "Russian newspaper" referring to the director general of the St. Petersburg club Maxim Mitrofanov, he writes that in this case Zenit proposes to move the match to a neutral field.

A meeting between the teams is scheduled for December 9.
