Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has thanked his players and supporters for their show of unity for Ukraine.

Both clubs had a Ukrainian player on the subs’ bench, with Aleks Zinchenko for City and Vitali Mykolenko for Everton, and both teams wore Ukraine colours as support for their country and for their teammates. That drew some tears from fans.

Zinchenko and Mykolenko were both in tears as supporters showed their appreciation – and City fans waved two Ukraine flags and had a message for Russian premier Vladimir Putin.

Said Guardiola : “I said on behalf of Manchester City thank you so much for the lovely gesture for Aleks and their player and the concern that happened.

“The concern is all around the world and I’m pretty sure the UK showed what a strange situation it is when people send innocent people that don’t hate each other in Ukraine and Russia to kill each other because one guy at home decides.
