Two months after transferring from Spartak to CSKA in August 1992, Bushmanov scored the first CSKA goal in a 3–2 away defeat of Barcelona in the 1992–93 UEFA Champions League second round that allowed CSKA to qualify for the group stage (which included top 8 teams at the time).[3] He is the only Russian player to knock out both El Clásico clubs from the Champions League.
Coaching career
Since finishing his playing career, Bushmanov worked as a reserve team coach (first with Shinnik, then with Saturn).[1]
