We continue our coverage for the Group D Champions league match between Rubin Kazan and Barcelona. After the match records, The match Preview, and the first interview with Docent, We continue sharing the thoughts of Rubin Kazan fans. Marat Gilmutdinov from Kazan generously offered his time to provide us with his thoughts about the match.
1) Starting from last season, where were you during the Matches played between Rubin Kazan and Fc Barcelona? How can you describe that experience?
Didn't manage to get to Spain for the first game, watched it on TV, enjoyed the game, the result, the goals, especially the first one, which noone saw)
I was at the stadium for the home fixture, and trust me, it was beautiful, the stadium was 110% full even though the weather wasn't that good. Felt like seeing a big final.
2) Last season Rubin Kazan's performance changed the way the world see the club. What kind of effect that season left on Rubin Kazan as a club and fans?
I think you answered the question yourself. Sometimes such moments happen in football, when big clubs loose to a newcomer, but on the other hand, imagine what a boost this can give to a club like Rubin in Russia. That Champions League campaign has made a big difference in the way people look at the team and the club as a whole. Nothing is impossible.
3) What was the first impression you had when you knew that you will play Fc Barcelona once again this season?
To be honest, we wanted a new experience, and I have to admit that beating Barca two years in a row is very difficult for any team. But Barcelona is not the same this season, some slight changes have been made, and it will be great to see them in Kazan once again.
