The sight of Ukrainian flags flying along Wembley Way – the road approaching the iconic Wembley Stadium – took on extra significance Sunday as Ukraine faced England in its Euro 2024 qualifier. While the horrors of war continue to cast a shadow over its country, here was the Ukrainian men’s national team facing one of the best sides in the world on the global stage. Win or lose, the Ukrainian players wanted to put on a show for its fans and offer those back home 90 minutes of respite.
“We’re not scared of England, though,” Marta Soboleva told CNN Sport, a wry smile spreading across her face, eyes full of excitement. Not far from where the Sobolevas spoke to CNN Sport, a small group of Ukrainian fans had gathered at the foot of the steps leading up to the historic arena. Moments earlier, former striker and previous manager of the Ukraine national team, Andriy Shevchenko, was among them doing his media duties ahead of the match.
