DUESSELDORF, Germany (Reuters) - Ukraine midfielder Mykhailo Mudryk helped spark his side to a vital comeback Euro 2024 victory over Slovakia on Friday with a little help from his pet cat.
The 23-year-old Chelsea player often posts photos of his cat on social media and now has had his beloved short-eared tabby printed on his shin pads for the tournament in Germany.
The signs were not good after Ukraine's 3-0 drubbing by Romania but Mudryk displayed feline-like dexterity in Duesseldorf as his side won 2-1 to keep alive their hopes of qualifying for the last 16.
Mudryk is known for his quirky, and very small, custom-made shin pads. He has one pair inscribed with a Christian-inspired message "Can't, Can't, Can't, Can" -- with a cartoon of Jesus taking the T away and planting it atop a hill like a cross.
This time, however, it is his cat that is providing the inspiration as he prepares for Ukraine's final Group E match against Belgium on Wednesday.
