Shakhtar head coach Igor Jovicevic commented on the Feyenoord defeat (1:7) in the second leg of the 1/8 finals of the Europa League.

" We must congratulate Feyenoord on a good game. There are days like this, it's football.

I want to apologize to the Ukrainian fans who hoped for us, for today's passage. Unfortunately, this match turned out. I have to draw many conclusions, I will take responsibility as a coach without hiding behind this result. But we gave the maximum strength that we had today. The guys just gave all their strength.

It wasn't enough and it showed in every single combat - we were punished for every mistake. It was the determining factor.

This is the first experience for us, the tenth match in the current European season, the Champions League and the Europa League.

There were also key matches for the pass: with Celtic, when they left the group, then Rennes beat. But today we got on the best team, in which what they shot on goal - everything flew into. And we must pay tribute, because Feyenoord is the top team today,"

The Donetsk club was the last representative of Ukraine in the current European Cup season.
