Zabarnyi’s Wife’s Bold Message: A Powerful Commentary on Resilience and Strength

Paris Saint-Germain achieved a decisive 5-0 victory against Stade Rennais on Saturday evening, showcasing a strong performance. Notably, two players were absent: Lucas Chevalier, who was sidelined due to injury, allowing his backup, Matvey Safonov, to take his place, and Ukrainian defender Ilya Zabarnyi, who was ill. His absence drew attention due to the ongoing tensions between Russia and Ukraine and Zabarnyi’s involvement in supporting his home country.

PSG coach Luis Enrique dismissed rumors that Zabarnyi’s absence was related to diplomatic issues. However, the situation between the two players remains sensitive. In response to the speculation surrounding Zabarnyi’s absence, his wife, Angelina, took to her private Telegram channel, stating that there was no need to overanalyze his absence: “as my grandfather used to say: don’t look for raspberries in the manure nor souls among the Muscovites.” Her comments have not been well received in Russia, considering the current state of relations between the two nations.
