Illia Zabarnyi has been at PSG for only a few hours that he already finds himself in spite of himself at the heart of a first controversy. Many Internet users, notably Russians, have noticed that the defender's wife, Angelina Zabarnaya, has suppressed all her posts on social networks in which she insulted Russian people. “It's a shame that they cannot be erased from the planet forever”was he for example written on his account. This message had been published several months ago.
It is still unknown if it was her personal initiative, that of her husband or a request from PSG. Indeed with his signature, Zabarnyi must coexist with Matvey Safonov, the Russian goalkeeper. A relationship far from being simple while the war triggered by Russia in February 2022 is still raging on Ukrainian territory. In the past, the defender has publicly expressed his support for his country. Safonov is sometimes announced on departure this summer.
