Defender Shakhtar Ivan Ordets commented on the results of the draw of the 1/8 finals of the Champions League.

Ivan Ordets hopes that the confrontation between Shakhtar and Roma will be held for the "miners" as successfully as the previous team meeting in the 1/8 finals of the Champions League.

"It's nice that the teams of PSG level and Barcelona did not fall out," Shakhtar's defender said.. - I wanted to see Besiktas or Roma. A good opponent. I'm not saying that it's weak, but more convenient in my opinion, because at the stage of the 1/8 finals of the Champions League everything is strong and there will not be easy matches. In the attack, Roma has many high-profile players, of which I will mention El Shaarawi and Jacko. If Napoli is more compact, then in the attack of Roma more improvisation. I remember well the confrontation between Shakhtar and Roma in 2011. I then played for a double, and our team won 3-2 on the road and 3-0 at home, having shown an excellent game. We hope, so it will be this time ".

The first match between Shakhtar and Roma will take place in Kharkov on February 21. The return meeting of the teams will be held in Rome on March 13.
