Lewandowski sets an example with the Ukraine captain’s armband
World footballer Robert Lewandowski from Bayern Munich showed off the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine with his captain’s armband in the away game at Eintracht Frankfurt.
“We can’t accept what’s happening there and we have to support Ukraine,” said the Pole, who wore a armband in the Ukrainian national colors in the 1-0 (0-0) win in Frankfurt.
On Friday he spoke to a player from the Polish national team who plays for Dynamo Kiev in Ukraine. “He told me what was happening in Kiev and what he experienced there. It’s all dramatic. I hope that the whole world will support Ukraine,” said Lewandowski sky: “We are all against war and didn’t think it would come to this. It hurts to see that.”
Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann is also concerned about the situation in Ukraine. “It’s close to everyone. Me, the players, the coaching team,” said the coach at the PK after the game: “Of course I also plead for the support of Ukraine and that we do everything to ensure that there is peace as soon as possible.” Nagelsmann had already spoken out in favor of peace at the press conference on Friday.
The Polish association had previously declared that it did not want to play against Russia in the World Cup playoffs. Lewandowski had already described this as the “right decision” on Twitter. The game is currently scheduled for March 24 in Moscow.
“You can’t exclude sport from what’s happening. I can’t imagine going out there in a month and forgetting what’s happening,” said Lewandowski after the game in Frankfurt: “The Russian players can’t do anything for that, but it’s a country and I can’t imagine playing there.”

The Russians are not at fault on this matter, the US, UK, FRANCE and GERMANY are at fault since they are the major organizers of NATO…. And they still try so much to label Russia as bad country. They could just end the war by coming out to tell the world Ukraine isn’t going to join NATO, it’s just like Russia building a military base in Mexico……. Same would have happened between the Americans and Mexico

I do not support war in any kind of forms, but Putin message was clear to those who think with their brains not their tongues. Ukraine might not agree with some of Putin demands but Ukraine joining Nato puts Russia into a risk of future danger since there were dispute in the past between the two countries after the fall of soviet union. Imagine Russia forming alliance with Canada and Mexico what would have been the reaction of United States? If Russia wanted to take advantage of Ukraine they would have done it since but they didn't. I know Putin might be wrong in some other aspect of this conflict but we can not ignore the fact that he's trying to protect his own country and it future as well like it or not. If you are here to blame Putin for his actions how do you know if Ukraine join Nato they won't rage war on Russia? United States are the ones causing all this madness not Putin and there would be war unless Ukraine refused to join Nato simple. Why Nato didn't come to Africa if they need more members? a lot of African countries are suffering from terrorist attack and bad government why did they come to become allie with any of African countries? why Nato didn't go to Asia if they want more allies? why are they sniffing around Russia taking every countries that share borders with them? And you expect Putin not to protect his own people with all this Nato moves? excuse me.

If only he did it for Palestine occupied by Israel and other countries invaded by the US would have been really impressive.

European Football has BECOME a political tool to push propaganda. It doesn't differ from mainstream media.
