The specialist was satisfied with the team's performance.

Shakhtar Donetsk general director Sergei Palkin commented on the club's unexpected victory over Real Madrid (2: 0).

\! First of all, I want to congratulate our fans.. There has been a lot of criticism lately, and it was right somewhere: no one wants to lose, especially with a score like Borussia. But we are fully rehabilitated, I hope. Many people said that we won by chance, that everything was accidental, but I assure you - not by chance. We have a definite strategy, we know where to go and what to do "

" Yes, now is a difficult time, today it is difficult to somehow analyze the situation one hundred percent, to predict it, because due to the pandemic, all our formulas are completely changing. But the most important thing is the score and the game shown by the team. We are optimistic about the future. I think this game answered the question of those many who criticized us too much "

" In fact, the bet was on a serious fight with Borussia, but everything turned out the other way around - they won twice against Real and drew with Inter. We have the most difficult group in history, as long as I have been in the club - I have been working for more than 17 years, but there has not been such a group yet. But the harder the more interesting. Moreover, before the game I had no particular fears. I don't know if this is for better or for worse, but the fact remains: I was very calm. And even in the first half and in the middle of the second, he was also calm. But when you already understand that victory is somewhere in your hands, here you start to get nervous, here emotions begin - every minute turns into ten "

“Dentinho, it seems to me, is a unique footballer, because he does not exist for a long time, but when he appears - and appears mainly at critical moments - he solves the issues that need. To me he is like a player of the match. Just worked wonders. Football is difficult to predict and somehow explain, but it gives crazy emotions. The game of our guys gave crazy emotions "

The specialist also said that the victory over Real Madrid should give Shakhtar confidence in the Ukrainian championship.

" You must always work on mistakes and understand your strengths and weaknesses. Naturally, you can't underestimate either.. We should clearly understand the path we are taking and not turn away from it - then we will achieve the result, "
