Over a few days Spartak Moscow lost two crucial games of the season against CSKA Moscow and Olympique Marseille.
It turned out that at the end of the season Spartak had to play two very important matches. The match against Olympique determined if Spartak would continue to play in the Champions League. Thus, the club has lost any chance of playing in the most prestigious championship of Europe. To beat CSKA was a point of honour. However, Spartak failed here too. The scores were 3:1 in favour of CSKA and 3:0 in favour of Olympique.
After these defeats the administration of the club and the players were heavily criticised by experts, journalists and fans. The former striker of Spartak, Valery Reingold, said that the head coach, Valery Karpin, should resign.
