Spartak Moscow have said they will obey UEFA's decision to remove them from the Europa League, while stressing that they disagree with the decision.
The governing body has banned all Russian club and international sides from its competitions in the light of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, while the men's national team has also been thrown out of the World Cup with just a month to go until its proposed qualifying play-off.
Spartak had won their Europa League group stage ahead of Napoli, Leicester City and Legia Warsaw, and had been due to take on German side RB Leipzig in the next knockout round.
