Pep Guardiola, David Moyes, Ralf Rangnick & Thomas Tuchel on the Ukraine invasion

There are so many uncertainties around the situation of our club, amid Russia's invasion of Ukraine, according to Thomas Tuchel.

The coach of the side was speaking prior to the final.

Tuchel said that we should not pretend that this is not an issue.

The situation in Ukraine for me and my staff, as well as for the players, is terrible.

Nobody expected this. It is clouding our minds, it is clouding our excitement towards the final.

It brings huge uncertainty to all the people and families who are in the moment more than us.

The most important thing is that our best wishes, regards and thoughts are with them.

There are so many uncertainties around the situation of our club and of the situation in the UK, with scenarios like this, that it makes no sense to comment on it.

One of Russia's richest people is believed to be close to the Russian president.

Chris Bryant said he had a leaked Home Office document which said that Abramovich should not base himself in the UK.

There were claims made in the House of Commons.

We are aware of it, we don't have a lot of inside information as you might think.

I think it is the right from the team, the staff, and myself to focus on sports.

The situation is clear, it is horrible, there is no doubt about it. That is pretty much it.

For a long period of time, war in Europe is unthinkable.

Let's wait. The impact is clear.

We have to be a bit more patient and understand what the measurement will be, then maybe we have to deal with it and adapt.
