Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini insists there's no advantage playing Champions League opponents CSKA Moscow behind closed doors in Russia.
UEFA have found the Russian club's supporters guilty of racist behaviour for the third time in the space of a year. While a vocal home crowd is deemed advantageous in European football, Pellegrini is adamant an empty stadium in Moscow does not guarantee a City victory.
"I don't think we must try to win with outside benefit of our team. I think we must try to win because we are better than CSKA, playing away or at home," he said.
"If not, if we need those kinds of things to win the game, then I don't think we are a big team."
