As far as I know, it is Kryskiv that Rebrov's coaching staff now considers as a priority option. This will be the player's debut call-up to the national team.

He is a three-time champion and winner of the Cup of Ukraine. In the national team of Ukraine played 7 matches, scored no goals. Currently engaged in coaching.

Karl-Heinz Rummenigge (1955) - legendary German striker, now president of Bayern Munich, where he spent most of his career. Two-time champion and winner of the German Cup. Twice won the European Cup. European champion in 1980. Twice silver medalist at World Championships. Two-time winner of the Golden Ball.

Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma is currently negotiating with the French club to extend his contract.

- Gianluigi wants to stay at PSG. We have already held the first negotiations on contract extension. Buffon can become a PSG legend," said Enzo Raiola.

It should be added that Enzo Raiola is Gianluigi Donnarumma's agent. We will add that the Italian moved to PSG in the summer of 2021. During this time, he played 118 matches.

The match of the 1st round of the main stage of the Europa League between Dynamo Kyiv and Lazio Rome will take place today at the Volksparkstadion in Hamburg.

According to Corriere dello Sport, 10 thousand fans are expected at this match, including 837 fans of the Italian team.

It should be reminded that Dynamo will play all their nominally home matches of the Europa League main stage at the Volksparkstadion. In addition to the match with Lazio, Kyiv will play here with Hungarian Ferencvaros (November 7), Czech Victoria (November 28) and Latvian RFH (January 30).

Paris Saint-Germain head coach Luis Enrique praised the behavioral traits of Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe.

- In the case of Kylian, I met a wonderful person. Mbappe is a person of exceptional quality, which is rare to find. He is humane, gentle, close. He is a great player. It is a pity that he joined Real Madrid. Especially at this time. But life is also part of the game. Everything is going great for him. I have nothing to blame him for, he initiated his departure. We are always respectful. So are his parents and brother," Luis Enrique said.

It will be recalled that in the summer of 2024, Kylian Mbappe moved from PSG to Real Madrid as a free agent.

Dynamo Kyiv midfielder Oleksandr Karavaev is confident that his team will have enough strength to perform worthily in several tournaments at the same time.

"We need positive emotions, and we are strong enough to compete on two fronts - both in Ukraine and in the Europa League. The fans, I am sure, will be of great help to us. There will be a lot of soccer until May, then we will rest," Corriere dello Sport quoted Karavaev as saying.

"Lechia from Gdansk, where two Dynamo Kyiv midfielders - Anton Tsarenko and Serhiy Buletsa - are currently playing on loan, failed to start in the Polish Cup of the season-2024/25.

In the first round of the tournament the opponent of the Bilo-Green was the representative of the third ranked division of Poland, "Pogon", but Lechia failed to pass it.

The team from Gdansk opened the scoring right after the break, but managed to concede a goal in response in the 4th (!) minute of the second half. And in the penalty shootout Pogoń were luckier.

Polish Cup. 1st round

"Pogoń " - "Lechia " - 1:1 (0:0). On penalties - 4:3
Goals: Noiszewski (90+4) - D'Arrigo (50).

We would like to add that Buleca started this match in the starting lineup of Lechia, but in the 67th minute he was replaced. At the same minute Tsarenko came into the game. Dynamo failed to distinguish themselves, while Buletsa was yellow carded.

Head coach of Italian "Genoa" Alberto Gilardino spoke out about the injury of the Ukrainian midfielder of his team Ruslan Malinovsky, who, as you may recall, in the match of the Italian championship with "Venice" received a sprained ankle joint and a fracture of the fibula.

"We all support Ruslan in connection with what happened to him. I've heard from him in the last few days that he already wants to be back in the team. He is an extraordinary guy and also a great professional. We are waiting for him," - quotes Gilardino TMW.

Recall, last Sunday Malinowski underwent surgery. He is expected to miss at least three months.

This week the matches of the 1st round of the main stage of the Europa League season 2024/25 take place. In one of these matches on Wednesday, September 25, Dynamo Kyiv and Italian Lazio will play. The meeting is nominally home for the Ukrainian club, but because of the war will be held in Hamburg, Germany, at the Volksparkstadion stadium (pictured). The match kicks off at 22:00 Kyiv time.
