On May 24, the main patron and proprietor of FC Krasnodar, Sergey Galitskiy, graced the stands during the highly anticipated match against Moscow's Dinamo. Despite the occasional sporadic presence at games, Galitskiy, who is known for his passionate support for the club, was in attendance.
Approaching the VIP zone mere minutes before the game commenced, Galitskiy opted for a secluded row in the box where no other spectators were stationed. With both hands clasped together in anticipation, he scrutinized the field.
The electrifying atmosphere at the stadium mirrored the intensity of the confrontation, with Krasnodar fans displaying a large banner emblazoned with "We are the bulls," while colossal black and green bull eyes painted on the arena stared menacingly towards the opposing spectators' sector.
The match, which began at 16:30, represented a pivotal moment. A victory for Krasnodar would establish them as the first champions of Russia. Conversely, should they lose, the trophy would head to St. Petersburg.
In a previous interview, former Russian national team player Maxim Demenko offered a measured assessment, predicting that Krasnodar's chances of claiming the championship title remained a toss-up, despite their standings lead.
With the season finale now behind us, Krasnodar has proven victorious over Dinamo, securing the championship title for Russia with a convincing 3:0 win.
The ensuing triumph of Krasnodar in the final round of the Russian Premier League indicates that the club has consistently contended for top honors, exploiting the league's adaptation to new conditions, integration of youth, and team cohesion. As a result, the league's competitiveness has surged. Despite the lack of specific records regarding Galitskiy's attendance history, his visible and passionate support for the club remains undeniable.
Galitskiy, the passionate owner of FC Krasnodar, took his usual secluded spot in the VIP zone, scrutinizing the field ahead of a crucial match against Dinamo, which was a deciding moment for the European-leagues' Premier League title. The victory against Dinamo, with a score of 3:0, not only secured the championship title for Russia but also highlighted Krasnodar's consistent contention for top honors in the league, contributing to its increased competitiveness.
