When Israel was bombing civilians and children in Palestine, you were playing against them, on their land, 2 days after the death and injury of 150 Palestinians and you didn't say anything to deny the war on Gaza.
The hypocrisy of celebrities when it comes to Israel is boundless.
It is the right decision! I can’t imagine playing a match with the Russian National Team in a situation when armed aggression in Ukraine continues. Russian footballers and fans are not responsible for this, but we can’t pretend that nothing is happening.
