==Early life==
Shevchenko was born in [[Dvirkivshchyna]], [[Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic|Ukrainian SSR]], in 1976,<ref>{{Hugman|26461|Andrei Shevchenko|access-date=6 June 2020}}</ref> into the family of ''[[Praporshchik]]'' Mykola Hryhorovych Shevchenko. In 1979, his family moved to the newly built neighbourhood in Kyiv – [[Obolon Raion|Obolon]] (Minsk District was created in 1975).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.lombardytophotels.com/it/sheva7.html |title=Sheva7 – Sito Ufficiale – Sheva7 |website=lombardytophotels.com |access-date=8 November 2019 |archive-date=24 January 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200124131426/http://www.lombardytophotels.com/it/sheva7.html |url-status=live }}</ref> In Kyiv, Shevchenko went to the 216th City School and in 1986 (aged 9) enrolled into the football section coached by Oleksandr Shpakov. Because of the [[Chernobyl disaster|accident]] at the [[Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant]], together with his sport group he was evacuated temporarily from the city. At an early age, he also was a competitive [[Boxing|boxer]] in the LLWI Ukrainian junior league,<ref>{{cite web |url=https://bleacherreport.com/articles/441854-sporting-heroes-why-andriy-shevchenko-is-the-brett-favre-of-soccer |title=Sporting Heroes: Why Andriy Shevchenko Is the Brett Favre of Soccer |first=Bryan |last=Sakakeeny |website=Bleacher Report |date=23 August 2010 |access-date=8 November 2019 |archive-date=26 July 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200726051708/https://bleacherreport.com/articles/441854-sporting-heroes-why-andriy-shevchenko-is-the-brett-favre-of-soccer |url-status=live }}</ref> but eventually he elected to move on to [[Association football|football]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=10 Things You Did Not Know About Andriy Shevchenko — thedreamteam on Scorum|url=https://scorum.com/en-us/football/@thedreamteam/10-things-you-did-not-know-about-andriy-shevchenko|access-date=9 May 2021|website=Scorum.com|date=22 September 2018 |language=en|archive-date=9 May 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210509100701/https://scorum.com/en-us/football/@thedreamteam/10-things-you-did-not-know-about-andriy-shevchenko|url-status=live}}</ref>

==Club career==
===Dynamo Kyiv===
In 1986, Shevchenko failed a dribbling test for entrance to a specialist sports school in [[Kyiv]], but happened to catch the eye of a [[FC Dynamo Kyiv|Dynamo Kyiv]] scout while playing in a youth tournament, and was thus brought to the club. Four years later, Shevchenko was in the Dynamo under-14 team for the [[Ian Rush]] Cup (now the Welsh Super Cup); he finished as the tournament's top scorer and was awarded a pair of Rush's boots as a reward by the then-[[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]] player.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Chadband |first1=Ian |title=Shevchenko's debt to Reds hero Rush |url=https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/shevchenko-s-debt-to-reds-hero-rush-7217352.html |access-date=19 February 2021 |work=Evening Standard |date=23 May 2005 |archive-date=9 August 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210809063136/https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/shevchenko-s-debt-to-reds-hero-rush-7217352.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

Shevchenko started out his professional career at age 16 when he came on for only 12 minutes as a substitute in a 0–2 home loss to the Odesa second team [[FC Chornomorets-2 Odesa|Chornomorets-2 Odesa]] on 5 May 1993. He was a substitute for the last six home games of the [[1992–93 Ukrainian First League]] and did not score any goals. The next [[1993–94 Ukrainian First League|1993–94]] season in the second tier, Shevchenko was the top goalscorer for [[Dynamo-2 Kyiv|Dynamo-2]] with 12 goals, and he made his first appearance in the starting XI. Shevchenko scored his first goal against [[FC Chortkiv|Krystal Chortkiv]] in a 1–1 home draw on 7 October 1993. During the same season, he recorded his first hat-trick in a home game against [[FC Artania Ochakiv|Artania Ochakiv]] on 21 November 1993 which Dynamo-2 won 4–1. Shevchenko stayed with Dynamo-2 until the end of 1994 and was once again called up for one game in late 1996.{{citation needed|date=June 2020}}

He made his [[Vyshcha Liha (Ukraine)|Vyshcha Liha]] debut for Dynamo Kiev on 8 November 1994 in an away game against [[FC Shakhtar Donetsk|Shakhtar Donetsk]] when he was 18. It was actually his second game for the senior squad overall after he had played a home game of the National Cup on 5 November 1994 against [[FC Skala Stryi (1911)|Skala Stryi]]. That year, Shevchenko became a national champion and a cup holder with Dynamo. He won his second league title the next season, scoring 6 goals in 20 matches. He scored a [[hat-trick]] in the first half of a [[1997–98 UEFA Champions League]] away match against [[FC Barcelona|Barcelona]], which Dynamo won 4–0;<ref>{{cite news |last1=Williamson |first1=Dan |title=The night a young Andriy Shevchenko scored a hat-trick at the Camp Nou |url=https://thesefootballtimes.co/2018/11/29/the-night-a-young-andriy-shevchenko-scored-at-hat-trick-at-the-camp-nou/ |access-date=19 February 2021 |publisher=These Football Times |date=29 November 2018 |archive-date=16 February 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210216214916/https://thesefootballtimes.co/2018/11/29/the-night-a-young-andriy-shevchenko-scored-at-hat-trick-at-the-camp-nou/ |url-status=live }}</ref> no other visitor to the [[Camp Nou]] scored a Champions League treble until 2021.<ref>{{cite news |title=Champions League hits and misses: Erling Haaland rips through Sevilla, Kylian Mbappe puts Lionel Messi in the shade |url=https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12220162/champions-league-hits-and-misses-kylian-mbappe-puts-lionel-messi-in-the-shade-liverpool-return-to-form |access-date=19 February 2021 |publisher=Sky Sports |date=18 February 2021 |archive-date=17 February 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210217140644/https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12220162/champions-league-hits-and-misses-kylian-mbappe-puts-lionel-messi-in-the-shade-liverpool-return-to-form |url-status=live }}</ref> His 19 goals in 23 league matches and six goals in ten [[UEFA Champions League|Champions League]] matches (including a hat-trick over two legs against [[Real Madrid CF|Real Madrid]]) were followed by a total of 33 goals in all competitions in the 1998–99 season.

===AC Milan===
In 1999, Shevchenko joined Italian club [[AC Milan|Milan]] for a then-record transfer fee of $25 million.

Shevchenko maintained his excellent form into the [[2000–01 Serie A|2000–01 season]], scoring 24 goals in 34 matches, including nine goals in 14 Champions League games.

Despite netting only five times in 24 matches, mainly due to injuries, Shevchenko became the first Ukrainian-born player to win the Champions League after Milan lifted their sixth trophy in [[2002–03 UEFA Champions League|2002–03]].
