Benfica’s Ukrainian striker Roman Yaremchuk is moved to tears after receiving a standing ovation from the entire stadium, writes dailymail.co.uk.

Yaremchuk was initially a substitute for the Portuguese giants in their game against Vitoria, before being brought on to rapturous applause on 62 minutes.

Despite his home country being invaded by Russia, the striker opted to make himself available for the game.

And not only did he receive a warm welcome from the crowd, he was also handed the captain’s armband for the final half an hour of the match.

The heart-warming moment initially did not seem to faze him, before his emotions then got the better of him when the applause failed to cease. Yaremchuk appears obviously moved and begins to cry as play resumes with him on the field.
