Yarmolenko: We haven’t played in the Champions League for a long time, I really want to get a ticket

The Dynamo Kyiv midfielder commented on the upcoming tournament qualifying match against Salzburg.

Andriy Yarmolenko deeply regrets that due to the actions of the Russian invaders, Dynamo Kyiv will not have the opportunity to play in front of its own fans in the capital of Ukraine.

In addition, the winger of the capital club shared his views on the importance of the confrontation against the Austrian club. According to the player, the excitement is at almost the same level as before the Euro 2024 matches.

“The pleasure can be different: when you are afraid of something or when you are really looking forward to something, of course, we all understand how important tomorrow’s game is – as important as the matches in the European Championship , but that is why there is an important game ahead for players, fans, clubs, in general, we prepare in a normal, familiar way.

We know that we haven’t played in the Champions League for a long time, so we really want to get this ticket to the group stage.

Of course, it’s difficult for us that we can’t play at home in Kyiv. We know that many of our defenders are Dynamo fans, and first of all, we play for them. And about the support available in Lublin, I would say that there are indeed many Ukrainians here today; In the matches against Partizan and Rangers, we felt their support, hopefully tomorrow this support will be even bigger,” Dynamo’s official website quoted Yarmolenko as saying.

We remind you that the match Dynamo Kyiv – Salzburg will take place today, August 21. The game will start at 22:00 Kyiv time.

Earlier, Kyiv club head coach Alexander Shovkovsky shared his expectations from the Champions League qualifying match.
