Shakhtar head coach Arda Turan spoke about the return match of the Conference League semi-final with Crystal Palace.

The day before, the English team defeated the Pitmen with a score of 2:1 and made it to the final of the tournament.

" They did a great job and achieved what they wanted. If a team beats you and gets to the European Cup final, it probably means they made more good decisions and performed better, so congratulations to our opponent.

As for us, we are very upset. I can't take off. I don't want to accept this at the semi-final stage. Because in my opinion we played well enough to go further in this round and we were closer to that than it may seem. But it's part of life, part of this game, sometimes it happens. Let's learn and learn useful lessons from this round. And we will never give up.

I am proud of my players and our European journey and believe we have given our best to give people hope this season and in these 20 European Cup matches. That's why I'm proud of the players and we'll move on.

My favorite moment is now when we are in the semi-finals. The best and happiest moment for me is always the highest level that I reach, and now this is it. Of course, I am very upset and will take both the saddest and happiest lessons from this season.. That's what I'll try to do. And that's exactly what I get from you? gratitude, I can answer your question and give people hope, I think this makes this the best moment for me this season.

In terms of level and style, both sides played as they wanted, which is why we must respect both teams. As for the players, we are equal to them in many positions, and in some, I think, we are even stronger in quality. It will be so in the future. If we talk about coaches, in my opinion, they have a more experienced and stronger coach,” Shakhtar’s official website quotes Turan as saying..
