Illia Zabarnyi
2026–27 Season performance
In his second Paris season, Zabarnyi has five Ligue 1 appearances and 450 minutes through November 7. Within a rotating defence across competitions, reliability, build-up quality and set-piece presence matter more than judging his contribution by one winning goal.
Updated 2026-11-10Career background
Zabarnyi came through Dynamo Kyiv’s academy and entered senior football in 2020, encountering Champions League competition in his first professional season. He made his Ukraine debut that October at eighteen, later participating in the run to the EURO 2020 quarter-finals and returning for EURO 2024.
A 2023 move to Bournemouth introduced him to the Premier League, including the club’s ninth-place finish in 2024–25. He joined Paris Saint-Germain in August 2025 as its first Ukrainian player. That progression from a home-city academy through English football to Paris shows a centre-back accumulating defensive and build-up responsibilities in different environments.
