Shakhtar goalkeeper Dmytro Riznyk shared his opinion on the defeat to Crystal Palace in the return leg of the Conference League semi-final.

The day before, the Pitmen lost to the English club with a score of 1:2 and ended their performances in European competition.

" It's a pity, but not a shame - we had a good season and gained enormous experience in European competitions, which is important for the implementation of future plans.

Naturally, I wanted to play in the final. To overcome such a path and stop one step away from the final is worth a lot. We gave it our all, everyone wanted to get to the finals. However, this is part of football - we will move forward and become stronger.

The main achievement in the European Cup campaign? Reaching the semi-finals.

This is a very valuable experience for us for the future.. I have never been to such stages, semi-finals, in my life, I hope this is not the last time. We will work to advance and win in the future,” Shakhtar’s official website quotes Riznyk as saying..

Let us remind you that earlier Turan, despite the relegation, thanked his players for their character and dedication throughout the tournament.
