During the night came the news that Russia has invaded Ukraine on the orders of President Vladimir Putin.

Already last night, a Ukrainian Champions League player showed his support for his home country.

Benfica's Roman Jaremtjuk wore a t-shirt with Ukraine's coat of arms and after the match he developed his thoughts on Instagram.

"I am Ukrainian and proud of it.

As I am thousands of kilometers from my home country, I want to support everyone who is there now.

Now is the time to stand united.

This is our country, our history, our culture, our people and our borders.

I want to thank those who defend us for their courage, "he writes.
