Many believe that the winner of the UEFA Cup in 2009 was determined in the Ukrainian semifinals of the tournament - Shakhtar vs. Dynamo. Ex-midfielder Dynamo Milos Ninkovic is also confident that the people of Kiev would have won the trophy if they had reached the final.

"My biggest disappointment is the loss to Shakhtar in the semi-final of the UEFA Cup," Ninkovic said.. - I have no doubt that we would have taken the UEFA Cup, if not for that ill-fated goal of Ilsinho at the last minute ... At that time, nobody thought about the bonus, everyone lived the same dream - the UEFA Cup final ".

In 2009, the Dynamo in the quarterfinals of the UEFA Cup was Metalist due to the rules of the away goal (1: 0 in Kiev and 2: 3 in Kharkov), and in the semifinals he played with Shakhtar 1: 1 in his field (Chigrinsky, 22, own goal - Fernandinho , 68) and lost in Donetsk with a score of 1: 2 (Bangura, 47 - Jadson, 17, Ilsinho, 89).
