"Before the match of the 25th round of the UPL against Polissia (3:0), Dynamo paid tribute to the club's fans who died in the war. Dmytro Pavlichenko, the father of the deceased Dynamo fan and public activist Serhiy Pavlichenko, shared his thoughts after the event.
"First of all, this match is about the memories of Serhiy, who used to play football at Dynamo. But then he got injured and had to choose what to do next - get treatment, stay in the sport or get a higher education. And Serhii decided to quit professional sports, but football remained in his life. Of course, he hardly ever told me about his involvement in the fan movement.
And when such events happened to us, when my son and I were accused of a crime that we were not involved in, the ultras stood up for us, and then ultras from all over Ukraine united around it. Ultras helped us and united for justice.
This match was an extraordinary event for me. We have 47 dead ultras from Dynamo alone. And I believe that each of them should be awarded the title of Hero of Ukraine, because they gave up the most precious thing they have - their lives. They are our heroes and we must honour them. These guys, they should be saints for us. Because they are not hooligans, they are sincere patriots. Glory to Ukraine! Victory will be ours," Pavlichenko said.
Inter head coach Simone Inzaghi commented on winning the Italian league after defeating AC Milan in yesterday's Serie A match.
"It feels amazing, we have done something incredible. There are many main characters in this victory: the players, the club, our president. I also thank my wife and my parents for the incredible support.
I believed and knew that we would succeed. In difficult moments for us, different people allowed all sorts of statements to be made about us, but today they will say less," TuttoMercatoWeb quoted Inzaghi as saying.

We are a few points behind the teams above us and it is important to try to win all the matches to be close to qualifying for European competition next season," Pochettino was quoted as saying by Football.London.
