The prophecy of Galitsky about the fate of Krasnodar did not come true: this is what the businessman did not take into account

The club still became the champion! Krasnodar became the champion! In the historical match, the Musaev team defeated Dynamo (3-0) and won the long-awaited gold medals-for the first time in its 17-year history. Now the creator of the Krasnodar club Sergey Galitsky is an undoubtedly the happiest person on Earth. However, like the overwhelming number of Russian fans, he probably did not believe to the last that Krasnodar would become a champion. Three years ago, a businessman fantasized about the possible championship of his club. But at the same time, he predicted the victory at a completely different time and on one condition. “We need to allow the same budget as“ Zenith ”. There are no miracles. I did not see PSG to take the last place in the championship. The worst that they came up with the financial Fair Play. We cannot afford to have a budget equal to other clubs. This is a very strange thing. I have already said that we may never become champions. Following football is the maximum joy. We want to win the Cup, become champions. But maybe this will not happen in my life. It will still be the best time I spend. This is our favorite game, ”said the businessman in 2022, this season, as before, for the money, Krasnodar could not compete with Zenit. According to RBC, in 2025 the budget of St. Petersburg amounted to 17 billion rubles – so Zenit became the owner of the highest budget among all sports clubs in Russia. What can we say about RPL?! For clarity, in 2023, the closest pursuer of St. Petersburg, according to this indicator, was Spartak (10 billion rubles). “Krasnodar” did not stand nearby. In addition, according to Salary Sport, in 2025 the St. Petersburg will spend more than 3 billion rubles on the salaries of football players, and the Krasnodar only 1.88 billion rubles. At the same time, according to Transfermarkt, the total cost of Zenit players is 181 million euros, and Krasnodar is only 88 million euros. Galitsky’s prophecy does not come true. The businessman was mistaken, suggesting that without equality of budgets, Krasnodar could not take the championship from Zenit. However, this is perhaps the most pleasant mistake in the life of Sergei Galitsky.
