Dynamo manager Yuriy Virt shared his thoughts on Yarmolenko's potential. He stated:

'Yarmolenko could surpass both Rebrov and Shatskikh and become the all-time top scorer in UPL history as early as this season. I wish him that—he deserves it. The main thing is that he stays free from injuries.' Yuriy Virt

This highlights how the player's health and consistency are critical to reaching new career milestones.

Dynamo continue their strong campaign in the league, with Yarmolenko remaining in the spotlight as he chases new records and achievements in Ukrainian football. This win not only bolsters the team's position in the table but also underscores Yarmolenko's importance to Dynamo, as he consistently delivers high-level performances and leadership on the pitch.
