Dynamo Kiev Coach Mircea Lucescu said that after the second leg match with Aris in the 3rd Qualifying Round of the Conference League, the white-dark blue team clashed with their opponents due to the offensive banners hung in the stands.
Did you see which banners Aris fans put up after the first game? They were directed to Ukraine. I couldn’t stop our players. I don’t support this and I’m sorry but you have to understand our players.
“Of course I don’t agree with this kind of behavior, but you have to understand our players,” said Lucescu.
In the first match played between these teams, Aris fans took a political action. They unfurled banners against the Azov battalion (an organization banned in Russia).
The return match played between the teams ended with the 2-1 victory of the people of Kiev. The previous meeting was 1:0 with the Greeks. Dynamo players were more accurate in the penalty shootout – 6:5.
Former coach of Aris Apostolos Terzis praised Club fans to provoke Ukrainian players.
