The Ukrainian club played a friendly match against Dinamo Zagreb (2:2) today, whose head coach is Fabio Cannavaro.
Before the match, the coaches warmly greeted each other, and the UPL champion decided to post a joint photo of the coaches on social media.
Fans immediately reacted extremely negatively to the photo, recalling the legendary footballer’s stance on the war in Ukraine.
For those who are unaware, not long ago, Cannavaro traveled to Russia, where he participated in a padel tournament. This was not just a "peaceful" visit but a paid appearance for a local betting company.
Shakhtar had no choice but to delete the post featuring the former Juventus player. However, social media never forgets.
