'I'm so proud to be Ukrainian' - Man City's Zinchenko

After winning the English Premier League title for the fourth time with his club Manchester City, Ukrainian footballer Oleksandr Zinchenko has said he found it hard to even think about football after Russia invaded Ukraine in February.

Qazet.az reports that speaking to Sky Sports after draping the Ukrainian flag around the Premier League trophy, an emotional Zinchenko called it an unforgettable moment.

"I'm so proud to be Ukrainian," he said. "I would love to one day bring this title to Ukraine, for all Ukrainian people, because they deserve it."
