In the third round of Group E EURO 2024 finals, the Ukrainian team faced opponent Belgium. With a scoreless draw with the “European Red Devils”, the Eastern European representative ranked last in the rankings and had to bitterly bid farewell to the tournament.

The team led by coach Serhiy Rebrov is equal on points with Belgium, Slovakia and Romania, but has an inferior goal difference. Ukraine became the first team in the history of EURO finals to be eliminated after owning 4 points in the group stage.

Heartbroken by the disappointing outcome, Zinchenko could not hold back his tears. As captain, the Arsenal defender could not lead his teammates to recreate the feat of reaching the Quarterfinals of the previous EURO period.

Zinchenko played the entire first two matches. In the victory over Slovakia, it was the “Gunners” star who contributed the assist for Mykola Shaparenko’s goal.

The Ukrainian captain suddenly sat on the bench last night and was only brought on to replace Vitaliy Mykolenko from the 58th minute. Without Zinchenko in the starting lineup, the yellow shirt army also lacked another pillar, Mykhailo Mudryk, due to injury. .
