The head coach of Donetsk Shakhtar Paulo Fonseca is sure that his team got one of the hardest groups of the Champions League 2017/18.

As a result of the draw of the group stage of the Champions League, Donetsk Miner was in the same group as Manchester City, Napoli and Feyenoord.

The head coach of the "miners" Paulo Fonseca believes that this is one of the most difficult groups that only could get his team.

"The most complex group was reached. Perhaps one of the most difficult that could only be. Opponents are very strong, "- said Fonseca.

"Napoli and Manchester City demonstrate a great, difficult football. Some of the best coaches of the world work there. We will be confronted by three teams with high-level players professing beautiful football. With full certainty I will say that the clubs from the second basket could just as well have been in the first ".

"Of course, in the Champions League there are teams less strong than others, but in our group a very powerful selection. And for Shakhtar this is an excellent opportunity to show oneself. We should only be adjusted to win ".

"I will add that the Champions League does not start tomorrow. We do everything step by step, step by step. Already on Sunday we have an important and difficult match of the domestic championship against Veresa ".
