Shakhtar won a crushing victory over Basel and advanced to the semifinals of the Europa League (4: 1), where he will face Inter.

Thanks to this victory of the Pitmen, Ukraine earned 3 points (+0.6 points when divided by 5 teams) in the UEFA coefficient table and moved up to 9th place.

Our country managed to get ahead of the Netherlands, whose clubs no longer participate in the current European competition and will not be able to bypass the Ukrainian association.

According to the current regulations, the 9th place in the UEFA coefficient table in the season 2021/22 guarantees the participation of the national champion in the group stage of the Champions League, as well as the participation of the vice-champion in the third qualifying round of the most prestigious European competition.
