Demenko: the outcome of the match Spartak - Leipzig can be affected by a neutral field

Former midfielder of "Spartak", "Zenith" and "Krasnodar" Maxim Demenko in an interview with a correspondent shared his opinion that Moscow "Spartak" in the 1/8 finals of the Europa League will play a home match with "RB Leipzig" on a neutral field. Recall that UEFA decided that Russian and Ukrainian clubs and teams will not be able to play on their fields in the European arena.

“The fact that Spartak will play a home match on a neutral field can greatly affect the outcome of the confrontation. Yes, the players are all professionals, but we understand that our support has its own support. She is very important. Fans would urge, shout and add emotions to the players. And so it is an unpleasant aftertaste. Although now it is generally unclear what will happen next and how UEFA will act, ”said Demenko.

Leipzig defeated Real Sociedad 3-1 in the preliminary round. Spartak went directly to the 1/8 finals, taking first place in the group with the Polish Legia, the Italian Napoli and the English Leicester.

Note that the head coach of Leipzig is the ex-coach of the red and white Domenico Tedesco.

Earlier, Demenko shared his opinion about RB Leipzig.
