Russian President Vladimir Putin is reportedly a huge fan of Zenit St Petersburg and would no doubt be disappointed seeing that his favourite club failed to progress to the round of 16 of Europe’s second-tier competition on Thursday night, having previously lost the first leg tie at home in a 3-2 result against Real Betis.
