Ruslan Malinovskyi and Vladislav Supriaha, two Ukrainian players, shared a moment together ahead of kick-off of the match between Atalanta and Sampdoria.
The pair met on the sidelines of the pitch a few minutes before kick-off, exchanging a few words and embracing. The pair have both undoubtedly been massively affected by the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine and the scene was poignant at the Gewiss Stadium.
