Oleksandr Zinchenko insists Ukraine will be preparing for the “game of their lives” when they face Italy next Monday in what could essentially be a play-off to qualify for Euro 2024. Against the backdrop of the ongoing conflict with Russia, the national football team have provided brief moments of enjoyment for embattled Ukrainians. Zinchenko will captain the team in the Group C fixture against Italy, held in Leverkusen as a “home” fixture for Ukraine – who have not played international football on their own soil in two years. If Italy beat North Macedonia on Friday night, the two nations will go into the final qualifier locked on 13 points behind England. Reigning European champions Italy will hold a slight advantage following a 2-1 win at San Siro last September and with head-to-head records counting over goal difference. But for Arsenal defender Zinchenko, the game means so much more to him and his compatriots. “It is going to be a massive game,” he said. We know that while we are wearing the Ukrainian shirt, it is absolutely the proudest moment of our lives Oleksandr Zinchenko “For sure it is going to be the game of our lives. Especially now, the toughest time since this country’s independence. To bring some positive news for Ukrainian people is so important. “To play in the Euros is an amazing achievement already and especially now. We know that while we are wearing the Ukrainian shirt, it is absolutely the proudest moment of our lives. “Since being a kid, you always dream of playing for the national team but especially now, with the war in our country, we understand completely that every single game, it doesn’t matter what one – even a friendly – when you win the game there are a lot of positives things for our people.” Zinchenko has been keen to use football as a driving force to shine a light on the tragedies in his homeland, raising money for the cause and speaking of the unity shared by all Ukrainians. He added: “Is it hard to be a player knowing what is going on? “Or is is hard for the people who are staying on the front line and giving their lives for our independence, for our people. So, which way is harder? That is the answer.”

OnlyFans star Alexia Grace has made headlines recently after getting into a physical fight at the press conference between fighters KSI vs Joe Fournier. The incident broke out between Grace and fellow OnlyFans creator Astrid Wett and resulted in security guards having to physically separate the pair. Grace has made headlines but may be an unfamiliar face for those who are not involved in the industry. Who is OnlyFans star Alexia Grace? Grace is a former flight attendant from the East Midlands who packed in the world of customer service for a different type of service altogether. The 20-something model used to work for Jet2 as a flight attendant and as a Costa Coffee barista, but left her last job in March 2021 to become a content creator on the adult platform OnlyFans. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter According to Grace, she now makes £25,000 a month working an average of 8 hours per day, rather than her previous salary of £600 per week. On her earnings, she has been able to travel the world, spending two months in Mexico last year and six months in Dubai the previous year. Last week, Grace attended the press conference ahead of the KSI vs Joe Fournier fight at London’s Wembley Arena, where she was involved in a brawl with Wett. According to footage of the incident, Wett suggested that Grace had “chucked water” on her. Wett said: “I am coming for you, you f**king b**ch!” @itsalexiagrace1 fight me astrid…. In a TikTok after the scuffle, Grace said: “Astrid, punching me outside of the ring was low, but I’ll tell you what’s even worse – that you punched me with your bare fists and that is all you can do.” Have your say in our news democracy.

Anne Hathaway’s on-screen portrayal of a fashion challenged assistant to an Anna Wintour-inspired magazine editor in The Devil Wears Prada led her to become the style muse for several major fashion houses, including Versace. Now, the 40-year-old Hollywood star has begun experimenting with new fashion trends, crafting mod looks, and stunting on every red carpet. While Hathaway’s induction into the fashion world can be traced back to her role in the 2006 film, the actor has revealed that she’s recently been taking style cues from Generation Z. In a conversation with Vogue published on 29 August, the Princess Diaries star opened up about her motivation to take fashion risks in recent years. “I know this sounds like I’m super-pandering, but I’m really switched on by Gen Z,” she confessed. “It’s a fun generation when it comes to fashion.” Hathaway went on to not only credit the group of individuals born between the late 1990s to the early 2000s for her style playfulness, but the artistic direction of standout designers. “I feel like designers are having a lot of fun,” she said. “I feel like people are enjoying it. Maybe it was always the case, and maybe I was the only person in the corner watching everybody else have fun,” Hathaway continued. “But just the ability to enjoy it feels like it’s more available to me now than it ever was before.” The Interstellar actor has been collaborating with stylist Erin Walsh on some of her most sought-after looks, such as her Karl Lagerfeld-inspired Versace number she wore to this year’s Met Gala honouring the late Chanel designer. On her partnership with the stylist, Hathaway said: “She inspires me. Her style has really rubbed off on me, and the way she wears things, whatever it is, she always wears it in the most effortless way possible.” Walsh expressed the same sentiment about Hathaway when speaking to E! News this past May. “What’s more stylish than a woman who is embodying her ultimate essence and dressing the part?” Walsh admitted. “Anne is beautiful inside and out. It’s very inspiring to see someone actually glowing.” Much like her character in The Devil Wears Prada, Hathaway used to feel trapped under one aesthetic when it came to her everyday fashion. She explained how she preferred to play it safe, and didn’t realise that she could assume some of the unique looks that she’d seen others in. “I thought that I could only have one,” the Academy Award-winner proclaimed. “I felt really lost because I didn’t know what that was until I realised I have so many styles. Once I realised that, then I felt like something clicked. But that’s just me. It’s different. Some people are like, ‘Nope, black turtleneck every day.’” Whether she’s sitting front row at a Louis Vuitton runway show wearing a collared mini dress and elevated updo, or donning an all-latex black ensemble with sheer tights for Versace, Hathaway’s style can no longer be categorised under just one uniform.
