‘Shevchenko descendant’ – Chelsea fans in awe of Mykhaylo Mudryk’s ‘Messi-vision’ pass for ᴜkraine U21s in Euros quarter-final win over France
The winger, who cost £97 million, joined the Blues in January after Arsenal failed to sign him. The 22-year-old has shown flashes of his potential at Stamford Bridge, but he hasn’t scored for the Premier League club yet.
But Mudryk will try to get off to a fast start with his new manager, Mauricio Pochettino, who started today at Cobham. He already seems to have found his confidence again.
He was called a “future Ballon d’Or winner” after his two incredible goals helped ᴜkraine beαt North Macedonia 3-2 last month.
Even though he was a senior international player, he went back to the U21 level for the European Championship this month, and now he and his team are only two wins away from winning the whole thing. And Mudryk was in great shape on Sunday when they beαt France 3-1.
The player who used to play for Shakhtar Donetsk got a penalty in the 30th minute, and Heorhii Sudakov scored from the spot to cancel out Rayan Cherki’s goal.
Then, just before halftime, Mudryk did something amazing by finding Sudakov with a beautiful pass from inside his own half. This gave Ukrαine the lead.
Artem Bondarenko scored another goal to seal the win and set up Wednesday’s semi-final with Spain. But his help was what most Chelsea fans were talking about.
One fan’s response to the clip was, “Blud activating Messi passing (vision).”
Another person said, “When next season starts, he really means business…. “It’s good to see that he wants to get better.
A fellow fan wrote, “He’s going to cook next season. That was really, really great.”
As more and more of the video was shown, fans’ joy grew. Another fan said, “Just needs momentum. At some point, it’ll start to work.”
“Mudryk might actually ball out next season,” wrote someone else.
As another fan said, “Mudryk 23/24 player of the season, we will be there.”
If ᴜkraine beαts Spain, they could play England in the final. In the other semi-final, the Young Lions will play against Israel.
