The well-known Ukrainian journalist and commentator Roberto Morales commented on reports about the alleged return of Yaroslav Rakytskyi to Shakhtar.
— Rakitsky has a good pass, but he is bad in defense. He lacked speed before, and now he will lack it even more. As Bayern thrashed Shakhtar 7-0 in the Champions League, Rakitsky looked awful.
Yaroslav's reputation among most Ukrainian fans is not the best. His transfer to Zenit during Russia's war against Ukraine is a stain on his entire career. It's good that he came to his senses and left the club, but it's still unacceptable, Morales said on the TaToTake broadcast.
