Ever since making his breakthrough at Shakhtar Donetov, Chelsea midfielder Mykhailo Mudryk's skills on the pitch have been clear for all to see. However, the tattoos inked across his body provide insights into another crucial part of his character – his faith.
Mudryk's collection of tattoos are heavily inspired by his religious beliefs. Most prominently displayed is the ink on his neck reading “Only Jesus”, positioned above an infinity sign. Another on his chest contains a passage declaring his trust in God's plans.
Hands bearing tattoos like a cross and the letters “F” and “E”, which together spell “faith” in Portuguese, further emphasize religion's importance. Additional tattoos thank God and encourage Mudryk to keep improving also signify how faith motivates his development.
As Ukraine's star player at Euro 2024, Mudryk will hope to showcase his talents on the international stage. But his tattoos show that off the pitch, an equally defining driving force comes from his deep personal faith. While skills may bring success on the field, Mudryk's ink suggests the comfort and inspiration he draws from his religious beliefs help propel his journey.
