Today, on 5 May, all Christians celebrate the Resurrection of Christ.

Easter is a time of harmony and peace. May every Ukrainian feel the joy of the resurrection in their hearts and the strength of national unity. We wish our country to be strong and prosperous, and for its people to always be proud of their state and nationality.

On this wonderful holiday, we wish you to go through life with good dreams, high aspirations, sincere hope, strong faith and great love. Let the delicate aroma of butter cakes, bright colours of eggs, laughter and bright smiles of your loved ones fill this day with a real miracle and a great mood.

Christ is Risen, our dear fans! He is truly risen!

Former Paris Saint-Germain coach Christophe Galtier spoke about the specifics of working with star players such as Kylian Mbappe, Lionel Messi and Neymar.

- With such players, the training process is different. We exchange views face-to-face in the office. Each of them is quite individual. You have to be extremely careful with this selection of players - every slightest reaction will become an international discussion.

As for the concept of the game, I had an idea to unite all three players. I think we will never see anything like that in France again. They were successful both in terms of the game and finances. However, Neymar dropped out due to injury, and everyone forgot about it," said Christophe Galtier.

It will be recalled that Christophe Galtier was in charge of Paris Saint-Germain in the 2022/23 season.

Poltava "Vorskla" defender Ilya Krupsky shared his expectations of the final match of the Ukrainian Cup, in which his team will play with Shakhtar Donetsk on 15 May.

"On the final of the Ukrainian Cup with Shakhtar we are tuning up as a battle with chances to win the trophy. I think it will be the most important match for Vorskla in the last two or three years. Such chances do not come often. So we need to take advantage of it.

We will fight, and if necessary, we will fight for 120 minutes of the match. We are determined only to win, although we also realise that Shakhtar is a top club, always playing in European cups. But in the Ukrainian Cup final, I believe our chances will be 50/50," SportArena quoted Krupskyy as saying.

Yesterday's match of Kharkiv "Metalist 1925" with Poltava "Vorskla" (3:2) in the 27th matchday of the Ukrainian championship became the 400th in the Ukrainian career of Kharkiv midfielder Denis Garmash.

He became the 33rd player to reach this milestone during the years of independence in the ranks of domestic teams. Garmash played 360 games for Dynamo Kyiv, 31 - for the national team and 9 - for Metalist 1925. At the club level Denis played 246 times in Ukrainian championships, 88 - in European cups, 28 - in the Cup of Ukraine and 7 - in the Super Cup of Ukraine.

Garmash joined the "Club 400" 16 years 186 days after his debut at the highest level, which took place on 31 October 2007 in Dynamo's away match with Simferopol "IgroService" in the 1/8 finals of the Ukrainian Cup (4:1).
