Hello and welcome to live coverage of the Champions League game between Zenit St Petersburg and Borussia Dortmund.

It's odd to think that Spalletti has been at Zenit for five years now, and not without success. He's won the Russian Premier League wice, in 2010 and 2012, and also have navigated the Champions League group stage under Spalletti for the first time in Zenit's history.

Luciano Spalletti: "The team live for this competition and their careers are driven by it. We have played in the Champions League for many years now, and we've fought well this season. We have many important qualities which means we can play at this level. We drew the home match against Porto when we should have won, and it was the same against Austria Vienna, where we played with 10 men for more than an hour. We deserved to collect more points, but overall we can be happy with our performance."

As soon as the teams are out I'll let you know, but for now let's enjoy the fact that while some people are doing a nine to five job they hate, with colleagues they hate, we are all going to be watching football.
