Samsunspor's German coach Thorsten Fink commented on the Turkish club's exit to the 1/8 finals of the Conference League and vying with possible rivals - Donetsk Shakhtar and Spanish Rayo Vallecano.

" Whatever it is, it will be important. Reaching the 1/8 finals is already a historic success. Of course, we want to go through everything, in football everything is possible. Shakhtar chi Rayo? In my opinion, Rayo can be the strongest,” said Fink.

On the way to this stage, Samsunspor beat the Macedonian Shkendija with the Zagal Rakhunka 5:0 and for the first time in the history of the Premier League until the 1/8 finals of the Conference League.

In the upcoming round, the Turkish team will have to align itself with either Shakhtar or the representative of Spain Rayo Vallecano.
