Intro:

With Bayern Munich already having qualified from the UEFA Champions League Group E, both CSKA Moscow and AS Roma have the chance to take command of the second qualifying spot when they meet at the Khimki Arena in Moscow on Tuesday.

Script:

SOUNDBITE: Alexei Berezutski, CSKA defender (on current form):

"The mood in the team is good. Of course, it is unpleasant to lose three matches in a row in a championship. But generally speaking, this is another tournament which gives new emotions."

SOUNDBITE: Alexei Berezutski, CSKA defender (on threat posed by Francesco Totti):

"I would say that in the first match all the attacking players of Roma brought us big problems. I think, there is no sense talking about (Francesco) Totti only. And generally speaking, as you know, in our team we don't play against certain football players."

SOUNDBITE: Alexei Berezutski, CSKA defender (on form and fitness duting a tough schedule):

"We had a fairly difficult match in Krasnodar. And two days later we have a match again. Of course, maybe this is not an ideal time for the game, but we have known about that and were preparing. So, tomorrow we will check our physical and general readiness for the game."

SOUNDBITE Alexei Berezutski, CSKA defender (on the climate in Moscow):

"Every time there is a talk that the teams from the southern (European) regions who come here can get frightened of the cold. But I can tell you that many football players come here and see snow for the first time, for example Porto, but so far this has never helped us much yet."

SOUNDBITE Leonid Slutsky, CSKA coach (on qualification from Group E):

"Certainly, the game with Roma is very important because today we have chances to come out from the group. Nobody makes us a favourite of the group. Of course, it is not possible that one game will change everything. But nevertheless, you know, until you have a chance you have to use it."
