- The Barcelona game was Neshcheret’s second appearance for Dynamo Kyiv’s first team.
- He managed to record 12 saves, conceding just 2 goals.
- The teenager is very upbeat about facing Barca and parrying a few shots from Leo Messi.
“This was like a dream. It was the first time I played at such an iconic stadium and against such a great team. I think every player dreams of this,” Dynamo Kyiv’s third-choice goalkeeper Ruslan Neshcheret told UEFA after the Barcelona clash.
“Messi was on the pitch, too. He did great from the spot, I missed the moment.

“I think Leo is one of the best players in shooting from 12 yards. I’m glad I had an opportunity to play against the world’s top players. I even managed to parry a few Messi’s shots, the one from a free-kick, too,” the Ukrainian added.
Both the shot and the save were spectacular indeed, just take a look.
What’s really special about the whole story is that Ruslan is just 18-year-old and that was his second appearance for Dynamo Kyiv’s first team. Most of the team’s first-choice players were unavailable after coming down with the coronavirus.
Neshcheret produced an exceptional debut performance in the Champions League, making 12 saves and conceding just 2 goals.
