Posted on February 18, 2012

Lokomotiv Moscow – Athletic Bilbao 2:1

Muniain, 36; Glushakov, 61(p); Caicedo, 71.


Alexei Smertin, vice president of FC Lokomotiv Moscow:

This is a comeback. Unfortunately we conceded a goal. This is a negative factor as you know. I was in the Basque Country, saw the championship. It is very difficult to play in. Moreover it is obvious, that our rival has great potential, the team is very speed. However we did not step back, inspite of the break in our national championship.
