FC Dynamo Kyiv against Jose Mourinho

On October 20 2009 Dynamo opposed Inter Milan headed by the Special One away within the Champions League group stage. The game ended in a draw – 2:2. Yevhen Khacheridi, Oleh Husiev, Andriy Yarmolenko, and Artem Kravets, who still feature for Kyivans, took the field in that game.

On November 4 Dynamo lost the dramatic battle in Kyiv – 2:1. Eventually Inter won 2009/10 Champions League.
