Shakhtar head coach Igor Jovicevic commented on the result of the Champions League group stage matchday 1 against Leipzig.

“Maybe no one expected such a bright victory, because we knew perfectly well who we were playing against.. Leipzig is a reputable club that is in the top 3 in the German Bundesliga on a budget. The club is very powerful, which may temporarily go through a small crisis. And we used it. But they fully deserved such a result, because they played with their hearts. When you play with your heart for the country, for Ukraine, it turns out like this.

I am completely proud of the team and I can say that I am now the happiest coach in the world. This is an unforgettable debut.. All the guys gave themselves completely, absolutely everything - both the staff and everyone gave the team their energy along with the fans who came to support us at the stadium, and we felt them all the time. This synergy is our strength,"
