Benfica striker Roman Yaremchuk, who passed through La Gantoise, risks being fined by the European Football Union (UEFA). Author of the equalizing goal against Ajax Amsterdam this Wednesday in the Champions League (2-2), the Ukrainian had taken off his jersey to show a black t-shirt on which was found a trident, symbol of the coat of arms of Ukraine . With this gesture, Yaremchuk wanted to show his support for his compatriots in the war with Russia.
But this Sunday, on the occasion of the reception of Vitoria Guimarães (3-0), the Ukrainian was at the center of all attention. Coming to the game at the hour mark, he was given a standing ovation by the whole stadium, the supporters displaying the Ukrainian colors in support of the player. He also received the captain’s armband from Jan Vertonghen. Gestures that touched the player enormously, who had tears in his eyes when he resumed play. A magnificent moment.
