The duo, who failed to win a game with Russia at the Euros, appeared to splash the cash on about 500 bottles of Arman de Brignac "Ace of Spades" bottles which normally cost £180 each.

The Russian national anthem can also be heard in the background as celebrations get underway.

Mamaev's club, FC Krasnodar, has already issued a statement slamming the midfielder's behaviour as "outrageous and unacceptable".

It read: "Currently, footballer Pavel Mamaev is moved to the youth team of FC Krasnodar."

It goes on to say the 27-year-old will also be fined.

A source from Kokorin's club, Zenit St Petersburg, told R-Sport that the player will be exiled from the first-team to the youth squad and also fined.

Kokorin, 25, denied reports that he or Mamaev bought any booze - but admitted the pair were at the party.

He told Sports.ru: "Somebody was celebrating their birthday and we were simply there. Naturally, everybody saw the bottles and heard the Russian anthem, but why put all this on us?"

Russian ultras caused chaos at the Euros with a number of attacks on English fans.

The nation was slapped with a suspended disqualification and handed a £119k fine for the inexcusable behaviour.

The country's leading officials condoned the sick acts of violence by telling fans to "keep it up".
