Shakhtar midfielder Sergei Bolbat shared his impressions of the match against Manchester City.

Donetsk Shakhtar on the eve of a duel in the group stage of the Champions League against Manchester City, in which he defeated the British.

"There is no excuse. In general, had a bad meeting. In any match, as long as the score is 0: 0, the concentration is 100%, and when you miss it, it knocks a little. Perhaps the first goal became such a catalyst, "the miner's press service quotes Bolbat as saying.

"Now it makes no sense to discuss refereeing. Of course, there was a mistake of the arbitrator, and we told him about it..

Probably, Sterling himself had to say that there was no violation, to observe fair play, because it is ugly at such a level. But we need to move on.. In a parallel match, the groups were tied, so the chances are still with us. We need to win the two remaining fights, and everything will fall into place ", - added Sergey.
