Ukraine's goalkeeper Andriy Lunin named the most dangerous players of the Blue and Yellows in attack.

- I can single out almost everyone. For example, Tsygankov spent the whole season scoring and giving assists. He is a key player for Girona.

Mudryk. Everyone knows how fast, technical, and very dangerous he is in a one-on-one fight.

Artem Dovbyk and Roman Yaremchuk are very dangerous in the penalty area, they play well with their heads and complete set pieces and shots.

Yarmolenko has experience and his left foot. There is no need to explain anything here.

Malinowski has the most dangerous shot - he has great strength. Goalkeepers do not like such shots. Let him not feel sorry for other people's goalkeepers, but give his own a chance," Lunin was quoted as saying by the vZbirna Telegram channel.

Andriy Tlumak, the executive director of Karpaty, spoke about the green-and-whites' objectives for the next season of the Ukrainian championship, which Lviv will play in the Premier League.

As for the infrastructure, the base has been operating for a year, it is in perfect condition. The Ukraina Stadium is up to the level of the Premier League.

Shakhtar U-19 head coach Oleksiy Belik has once again expressed his dissatisfaction with the "unfair" championship of Dynamo U-19.

- "We finished the championship in second place in the standings, although Shakhtar should always be in first place. I believe that the reason for this lies not in the level of our game, but in what happened off the football field.

A lot has been said about this during the season, but I just want to remind you of these points. Dynamo's opponents moved their home matches to Kyiv, and it turned out that Dynamo played away games on their own field. This is both a violation of the regulations and simply a dishonest move in terms of fair competition. In addition, Kyiv moved matches that were supposed to be played on artificial turf to natural lawns, which gave them an advantage.

While Shakhtar had to play away games on synthetic turf, even though our team had a more intense schedule and more difficult conditions, as they simultaneously represented the country in the UEFA Youth League. Of course, this is not an excuse, but these factors still became additional difficulties for our team and had a certain impact on the results in the fight for the championship," Belik was quoted as saying by the official website of Donetsk.

Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski left the field early in the friendly match between Poland and Turkey (2:1).

Robert's injury turned out to be minor, so his participation in Euro 2024 is not in danger. Lewandowski's recovery will take just a few days. He is expected to be ready for the first Euro 2024 match against the Netherlands on June 16.

"Robert Lewandowski has a minor injury and it shouldn't be a problem, and Karol Swiderski sprained his ankle. We will know more after an additional examination," said Polish head coach Michal Probiez.
