Interesting to see how many Eastern European clubs are among the front-runners, this hasn't happened for YEARS.

But here goes. Many of these leagues were plundered after the fall of the Iron Curtain by western clubs, in much the same way the SANFL had been by the VFL/AFL. But these leagues have had the opportunity to recover their former strength, and we can see that Russia gained a European trophy-winner in CSKA Moscow last season.

The Last time Red Star had some success was 90/91 when we won the Champions League. After all the wars that made us crap, we're starting to find our feet. So hopefully we go far in the UEFA Cup.
