Champions League update: a new team to root for

Rubin Kazan are from Russia, somewhere in the Tatarstan republic. They already have snow on the ground there. Their players appear to be a mix of Russians and Latin Americans. In their last two Champions League matches, they played Barcelona. They won 2-1 away, and, yesterday, the two teams played to a scoreless draw.
