Milan forward Santiago Jimenez came onto the pitch in the match against Bologna in the Italian championship with the surname of his mother Zolotarchuk in honor of Mother's Day. His grandfather had Ukrainian roots.
Jimenez scored a double in the Serie A match against Bologna. Thus, he became the central figure in the match, which ended 3:1. But equally interesting is the fact that the player came onto the field wearing a shirt with his mother's maiden name - "Zolotarchuk". The footballer scored in the 73rd and 90+2nd minutes. Fans began chanting his surname.
The surname "Zolotarchuk" belonged to Santiago's maternal grandfather, who passed away in 2023. He had Ukrainian roots, but it was not exactly known where Jose Zolotarchuk was originally from.
Jimenez was born in Argentina, grew up in Mexico, and has Italian citizenship. At Milan, he plays with the number 7 - under this number, Andriy Shevchenko also played at one time.
