Anatoliy Trubin Refuses Handshake with Aleksandr Golovin

Benfica's goal keeper Anatoliy Trubin declined to shake hands with Russian player Aleksandr Golovin before their match, a gesture reflecting the ongoing tensions due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine since 2022. Trubin, who has represented Ukraine 19 times, later expressed on social media, "The Ukrainian heart beats to the rhythm of victory". Meanwhile, Golovin has continued to play for Russia, which faces exclusion from competitions and plays only friendly matches against select countries.
