Ukraine midfielder Serhiy Sydorchuk has issued his heartfelt gratitude to Aaron Ramsey after the Wales playmaker went into the away dressing room to console the heartbroken players following their World Cup play-off final defeat.
Wales was sent into a frenzied euphoria on Sunday after Rob Page's side came out triumphant against Ukraine in their biggest game for generations, booking their spot in Qatar after a 64-year absence from the World Cup. For all the well-placed goodwill across the sporting world, willing Ukraine to win owing to the Russian invasion in recent months, Wales fronted up and earned the most precious of 1-0 victories.
While Wale got swept into giddy happiness, though, their opposition were left inconsolable following their defeat. The scenes of Welsh players belting out Yma o Hyd, sliding in front of their fans on their stomachs in a uniform line and spraying beer in the dressing room was clearly at odds with what their Ukrainian counterparts were experiencing.
