After the goal, he took off his jersey and wore a black T-shirt with the Ukrainian coat of arms, the Tryzub.

“I wanted to support my country. I thought a lot about it and I’m afraid of this situation. The club supports me, they spoke to me and wanted to do everything to help me. I thanked them, but for the moment everything is fine”, declared the Ukrainian international (34 caps, 12 goals) at the microphone of CNN Portugal.
