Rubin Kazan - Chelsea - Europa League quarter-final

Europa League quarter-final (2nd game)

I was totally devastated by the news that Chelsea kicked Rubin out of Europa League by winning (3-2) the match in Moscow on the 11th of April. The game started really bad for the Russian team, when on the fifth minute Rubin's goalkeeper Sergey Ryzhikov got too far away from his goal and Fernando Torres scored his third goal in two games.

Rubin responded on 51st minute with Ivan Markano's equalizer, but four minutes later Chelsea took the lead once again with Victor Moses goal. Rubin managed to equalize again when Karadeniz scored ob 62nd minute.

Thirteen minutes later Rubin took the lead for the first time in two games thanks to Bibers Natcho goal from the penalty spot. Although Rubin won the second game, the final result did not allow the Russian team to go further in the Europa League tournament. Chelsea will face Bazel from Switzerland,which by the way took down another Russian team Zenit in 1/8.

My personal opinion is that Rubin should have gone further in the League, not because I am Russian so as the team, but because Rubin is a team and Chelsea is just a bunch of good players, whose personal characteristics turned out to be stronger than Rubin's team play.
