After the Ukrainian Cup match, in which Dynamo defeated Shakhtar with a score of 2:1 and made it to the quarterfinals, defender of the “white-blue” team Denis Popov made a not very flattering comment about the opponent’s players.

“The classic is such a match, you know, it’s very important for us. I also played in those years when there were more serious footballers, like Marlos, Taison, Moraes. Now, yes, you can say it's a parody. That’s why I saw, I learned from those matches and understood what kind of confrontation this was,” he noted.

Former Shakhtar player Georgy Sudakov reacted to this statement in his Telegram channel.

“I greet Dynamo with their first victory in 5 years against the parodists,” wrote Sudakov.

It is worth noting that in this match, Kiev veteran Andrei Yarmolenko equaled the number of goals in the confrontation between Dynamo and Shakhtar with the best scorer in the history of these meetings, Artem Milevsky.
