"Liverpool” defender Milos Kerkez and his father Sebastian found themselves in an unusual situation.

During the Hungary and Ukraine Nations League match, Milos Kerkez and Ukrainian Viktor Tsygankov were caught at each other's lapels. However, Kerkez was defending Dominik Szoboszlai, who was the first to start the altercation.

The "Liverpool” full-back ultimately grabbed the Ukrainian by the throat, and that was not the end of it.

After the match, M. Kerkez's father Sebastian uploaded a photo to the social network Instagram with the song "Russian Paradise,” performed by the rapper "AK-47.” It was believed that the Hungarian was referring to the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia.

For this reason, both Milos and Sebastian Kerkez have now been added to the "Ukrainian enemies” list.

After this situation, "Liverpool” player M. Kerkez stated: "I have never supported and will never support aggression in my life. I also want to add that my father is not me. I cannot take responsibility for his actions.”
