CSKA Moscow's Kirill Danilov recently shared his feelings following his debut for the Russian national team in a friendly match against Burkina Faso. The game took place at Volgograd Arena and concluded with a 3-0 victory for the hosts. The match was officiated by referee Nenad Minakovich. "A dream came true—I debuted for the Russian national team. There was no specific instruction, but I was tasked with marking Tapsoba," Danilov stated, expressing gratitude for the support received. "Whether I play in the next match is uncertain." Russia, ranked 36th in FIFA's global rankings, will next face Trinidad and Tobago in another friendly on June 9 at Rostech Arena in Kaliningrad. Previously, on May 28, Russia was narrowly defeated by Egypt, 1-0.
