Camavinga, 19, entered the opponents’ changing room handing them the French shirt and giving a speech showing solidarity with Ukraine due to the war.

He said: “This is the shirt for all the people. 

“We know the current situation is not okay and very complicated, so this is a present for everyone from all the team. 

“We hope the situation will be better for you soon.”

He was then applauded by everyone assembled in the dressing room.

The gesture has been praised by fans on social media, one said: “so classy, respect to him.”

Another stated: “what a person, what a role model.”

The match itself was due to be played in Ukraine but because of the ongoing conflict it was moved to Istanbul, Turkey.
