The renowned German daily Bild was impressed by the attitude of Romanian supporters on Monday at the stadium in Munich, who showed solidarity with the sufferings in Ukraine, which have nothing to do with football.
„It is already one of the most emotional moments at this European Championship!
During the group match between Ukraine and Romania, we are talking about intense feelings before the match.
The Ukrainians, playing their first major tournament since the Russian attack in 2022, have tears in their eyes both on the field and in the stands, while the national anthem resounds. The players enter the field wrapped in Ukrainian flags.
After that, it truly becomes emotional when you listen to the Romanian fans in the Munich stadium. In the initial phase, the approximately 40,000 Romanian fans chanted loudly "Ukraine" and showed solidarity with the neighboring country. Goosebumps!" writes Bild, in an article dedicated to the match that Romania decisively won against Ukraine at Euro 2024.
"Ukraine's coach Serhii Rebrov (50 years old) said before the match: 'We play for our soldiers, for our fighters, for our people!'"
However, very little of Ukraine's fighting spirit is felt in the game. They lose the match 0:3. Only the Romanians show passion on the field," adds the cited source.
