Portuguese specialist shared his impressions of the results of the draw.

Luis Castro assessed the level of the opponents that Shakhtar got in the group stage of the Champions League.

" Three great teams from the European top 5. Germany, Spain, Italy - three big championships. We know what difficulties await us, and we must reach our best level to get out of the group. This is a very difficult group, with maximum requirements..

Which of these teams is more stellar now? We have Real Madrid playing 4-4-2 with rhombus, Inter with 5-3-2. We will analyze Borussia - this is also a very competent team. I think that the group is very, very difficult, but we will try to follow all its requirements and perform well in the Champions League.

Death group? We are all aware that in a very difficult group, and we do not hide this. But last year we also experienced rather difficult moments and out of 11 matches in European competition we lost only three - the Europa League semi-final with Inter, the first match in the group of the Champions League of Manchester City and the last Atalante. This really proves how well we were prepared for our European Cup path.. And now to invent something and say that we will have a very accessible and simple group - no, it will be a lie.

Without a doubt, the group is very, very difficult. But we will try our best to prepare.

I really believe in my players, I trust them. I believe in our club, our path, our training process and our idea of \u200b\u200bthe game. This is normal: none of the teams in such a situation will feel comfortable, any all matches will be extremely difficult.. But we look at our daily work very carefully and with joy that we are playing in this tournament "

As a reminder, Shakhtar will be able to play the Champions League matches with spectators in the stands.
