The head coach of the Miner Paulo Fonseca believes that his team deserved to play in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
The miner flew out of the Champions League following a two-legged confrontation with Roma because of the exit angle rule (2: 2).
"Kambek Roma only confirms that we played with a great team - the Romans won 3-0 at Barca, 3-0 at Chelsea. I think that we flew not quite honestly, but played against an incredible team. Very many people spoke about Roma badly. They said that they were weak. They said that we are weak.
Now it does not matter. You've all seen yourself, "Fonseca said at today's open training session.
"However, if there was honesty in football, Shakhtar would go through the team that is smashing Barcelona and Chelsea. Just look at the statistics and figures. We were very close to the passage. The figures speak for themselves ".
After the passage of Shakhtar Roma, also according to the rule of the exit goal, Barcelona (4: 4).
