Tomasz Hübschman has shared his thoughts about today's Ukrainian Cup final, emphasizing that "Shakhtar" has significant motivation to lift the trophy. The legendary midfielder spoke exclusively about the upcoming showdown between "Shakhtar" and "Dynamo" Kyiv.
"For 'Shakhtar', there is quite a lot of motivation to win the Ukrainian Cup," – Hübschman stated in his exclusive interview with Football.ua.
This Cup final arrives at an interesting moment in the Ukrainian football season. Just weeks ago, "Dynamo" Kyiv managed to create a gap between themselves and "Shakhtar" in the UPL standings, as evidenced by the 27th tour results. The capital club's recent form has been impressive – they've been winning efficiently while "Shakhtar" has been winning spectacularly.
By the way, the history between these two Ukrainian giants has been particularly intense over the years. Their head-to-head meetings have often been characterized by tough confrontations and controversial moments both on and off the pitch.
Meanwhile, Serhiy Sydorchuk, former "Dynamo" midfielder now playing for Belgian side Westerlo, has ruled out a return to his former club. He believes they already have talented young players in his position.
"As a footballer, I'm not considering a return to 'Dynamo' – they have good young players in my position," – Sydorchuk explained when asked about his future plans.
With "Dynamo" showing efficient results and "Shakhtar" displaying more spectacular play in recent matches, today's final promises to be a fascinating contest. Will Hübschman's prediction about "Shakhtar's" motivation translate into victory on the pitch? The answer comes later today.
