What Usain Bolt did to former Chelsea star Andriy Shevchenko during Soccer Aid 2022

The biggest charity match in the world is back this evening in the capital as a combination of sports stars and celebrities go head to head for UNICEF.

England certainly have revenge on the mind after getting beaten comfortably 3-0 by the World XI last year in Manchester.

Prior to today's game and just before kick-off, there was a touching moment between Usain Bolt and Andriy Shevchenko with the former handing the latter the Ukrainian captain's armband. Unsurprisingly, this sent Twitter into an absolute frenzy with many providing their thoughts on this wonderful gesture between the two legendary sporting stars.
