Indeed, during the first part of the 2023/2024 club season, Ukrainian forward Artem Dovbik from Spanish "Girona" was the most popular Ukrainian footballer in all of Europe. At least in Spain.

Starting this period still with "Dnipro-1" and playing two matches in the Champions League qualifying round against Greek "Panathinaikos" (scoring one goal), the national team player truly became a comet by breaking into the Spanish league and scoring a goal in his first match for Girona. Dovbik's talent, hard work, and coach’s trust allowed him to score 11 goals and provide six assists for Girona up until this point! And all of this over 18 out of 20 matches played across two tournaments by the Catalans! The incredible goal-scoring rate of this 26-year-old Ukrainian!

Spanish journalists are already writing whole analytical articles about his relationship with national team teammate Viktor Tsygankov — and if injuries spare our boy, we hope they will write even more. And not just one.
