At the end of the game, Roman Yaremchuk mingled with several Ukrainian families, refugees in Portugal due to the existing conflict. Kandaurov, former player of the eagles, was one of the faces present, in a moment of emotions to the surface!

The Benfica-Vitória de Guimarães match, from gameweek 24 of the Liga Bwin, it was much more than a game; it was a gigantic tribute, an immeasurable hug from Sport Lisboa e Benfica and everyone who was at Estádio da Luz to Yaremchuk, to him and to Ukraine, which is going through days of distress due to the armed conflict that is shaking the world. This Sunday, if the Benfica players made a point of walking on the pitch wearing the Ukrainian colors, Yaremchuk received the captain's armband when he entered the game and was loudly cheered to tears.
