One quibble - we're not playing them in Khimki Arena. That was CSKA's temporary home in a suburb of Moscow for several years while the brand new Arena CSKA was being built, but that finally opened after numerous delays earlier this month and we will be the first foreign visitors to their new ground.
Khimki Arena was pretty crap and a long way from central Moscow - would be similar to Spurs playing in Milton Keynes. This severely depressed crowd turnout, but CSKA finally have a new home and I expect tonight to be a very different scenario than many recent European nights for CSKA. They, and their crowd, will be fired up.
