The football player's wife carried the Russian flag onto the field at the Champions League final

The Russian flag was brought onto the field in a most ingenious way. Initially, many did not understand why, for example, the Georgian Kvaratskhelia or the Ukrainian Zabarnyi came out to the premieres with the flags of their countries, while Safonov could not do the same.

However, the Russian flag later appeared on the pitch, brought by Safonov's wife, Marina, according to sport24.ru. A video in which Marina, with the Russian flag on her back, hugs Matvey, was published on social networks.

Marina, Safonov's wife, brought Russia's flag to the Champions League final

Marina's friend, blogger Polina Lysenko, published a video on her Telegram channel in which she showed how Safonov's wife made the Russian flag right in the stands. In short, the solution was simple: luckily for the young women, the colors of the flags of Russia and France are practically identical. So, with a little skill and materials at hand, they created a flag on the spot.

“How was this legendary flag produced? If you haven't figured it out, I made the Russian flag from the component parts of the French one”Polina wrote in the description of the video.
