Crystal Palace manager Tyreek Mitchell commented on his team’s victory in the Conference League semi-final match against Donetsk Shakhtar (2:1).

" God knows, I wouldn’t be able to write a better script. I am here for the sake of everything - with the fans, my teammates, so that we could reach another final.

We knew that we would have chances, we knew that we would be sharp on counterattacks. We learned how strong and dangerous Shakhtar is, and we knew what they were doing, and, fortunately, they showed it to another time.

Another goal was a great moment, I think it broke the pace. After this we were able to actually dry up the grain, so this is a very important goal.

We know how strong we are in defense. We play a lot of clean sheets, we defend well as a team, and we have amazing individual defenders. “We knew that the buildings would be closed,” the UEFA press service quotes Mitchell as saying..
