Shakhtar’s leader also reported victory in the Ukrainian Championship.

Shakhtar's senior Taras Stepanenko commented on the championship in the UPL, defeating Dynamo (1:0) and readiness for Euro 2024.

\! A difficult season – ups and downs, but the champions deservedly so. The matches went really well, not the ones without any defeats, but the ones without any losses, they won all the matches, they deservedly got a fat mark. I think I won’t ask anyone. Everyone is happy, just a little bit and getting ready for the Cup. We still have a chance to take him, and then we’ll get ready for the collection.

Dynamo played well, started the match well, basically controlled the ball and scored a goal. In the other half, they were already counting on their chances, so they realized that Dynamo needed only victory, and they attacked, but they were not allowed to do anything.

Penalty? There was a blow and the ball was taken from the hand. The referee was surprised by VAR, everything is clear, I think, ask everyone. I won’t repeat it too much, but the boys’ coaches were surprised and said that there were 100 hundred penalties.

Euro 2024?

I feel good, recovered from injury and training again. I don’t play much, but that’s all life. I am a professional and I win everything that comes out of me, even if the team overcame. Well, I want to earn more, but that’s not what the head coach thinks. Over the course of many years of experience with the team, I have always given my best and fulfilled my role both on the field and in between. It’s clear, I want to earn more and I respect that there is merit in it, so we’ll help you get in,” said Stepanenko.
