"Dynamo" Kyiv finished their performances in the group stage of the Europa League in the same way as they played the previous five games of the stage. In the last game against "Fenerbahce" (0:2), Kyiv center back Ilya Zabarny went to the locker room earlier than everyone else, earning a suspension during the second half.
However, considering everything, the failure of the "white and blue" in the European Cups did not in any way affect the evaluation of his game by foreign experts. According to the international football observatory CIES, Zabarny ranks fourth in Europe in terms of impact on the game among defenders born in 2002 and younger.
The leader in this rating is RB Leipzig centre-back Joshko Guardiol, who recently helped his team defeat Shakhtar Donetsk, thus winning a place in the playoffs of the Champions League. Zabarny is also ahead of Ecuadorian Piero Hincapi from Bayer Leverkusen and Frenchman Castello Luceba from Lyon.
