Ukraine striker Roman Yaremchuk moved to tears by Benfica fans' ovation

Ukraine striker Roman Yaremchuk was moved to tears after being subbed on during the second half of Benfica’s clash against Vitoria Guimaraes on Sunday.

Benfica were 3-0 up when manager Nelson Verissimo sent on Yaremchuk to replace Darwin Nunez, who netted a brace.

Yaremchuk was handed the captain’s armband from Jan Vertonghen before receiving an incredible standing ovation from fans inside the Estadio da Luz.

Some fans held up Ukraine flags and anti-war signs and the overwhelming support moved Yaremchuk to tears.
