They are the reigning Tsars of Russian football and they have no problem showing it

We have a new bar when it comes to team photos, thanks to new Russian champions Zenit St Petersburg. Having regained the title last weekend for the first time in three years, Zenit decided to abandon the tradition of a regulation two banks of togged-out players with the trophy in favour of something with a little more class. The team all dressed as members of the 19th-century Russian nobility, with manager Andres Villas-Boas at the centre of all, flanked by former Arsenal man Andrey Arshavin. https://twitter.com/BreatheSport/status/604966769904762880 We look forward to seeing Jose Mourinho as Napoleon.
