Editing PFC CSKA Moscow (section)

====1971 to 1991: Two decades drought====
With only 19 points out of a possible 68 in the [[1984 Soviet Top League|1984 season]], the club had to endure the first ever relegation to the [[Soviet First League|second division]], where CSKA spent two seasons. After returning to the Higher league, the club did not manage to stay in it for a long time, and in the [[1987 Soviet Top League|1987 season]], a second relegation followed. Nevertheless CSKA was able to fight its way back after two seasons in the First League, immediately secured the runner-up and even won the last edition of the football championship of the Soviet Union in the [[1991 Soviet Top League|1991 season]]. Having also won the [[1990–91 Soviet Cup|Soviet cup]], the club thus secured the last golden double in the history of the USSR football. With the championship title from the 1991 season, CSKA Moscow qualified for the first round of the [[1992–93 UEFA Champions League]], where they defeated the Icelandic team [[Knattspyrnufélagið Víkingur|Víkingur Reykjavík]]. In the second round the Spanish top club [[FC Barcelona|Barcelona]] with coach [[Johan Cruyff]] was defeated. The opponents in Group A were the current Champions League winners [[Olympique Marseille]], [[Rangers F.C.|Glasgow Rangers]] and [[Club Brugge KV|Club Brugge]]. CSKA was unable to build on the results of the matches with Barcelona, becoming the fourth in the group with two draws and four defeats, and was eliminated from the tournament.{{citation needed|date=March 2022}}
