Ukrainian midfielder Yevhen Konoplyanka has announced the end of his professional football career.
"Football for me is more than just a game, more than just a sport or a competition. It is a big part of me as a person, a personality and a professional. I love this game very much and appreciate every moment that I had to experience on the football field.
But today I have to tell you that I have decided to end my professional career. So, I thank everyone who has come this way with me, everyone who has shared with me the joy of victories and the sadness of defeats, everyone who has followed me and supported me on and off the field," Konoplyanka wrote on his Instagram page.
As a reminder, Konoplyanka has won the Europa League and the Ukrainian championship in his career.
