"I've been in football for 30 years, but I've never seen anything like this." An unprecedented situation in Shakhtar's match impressed the Marseille coach. Video
Marseille head coach Gennaro Gattuso reacted emotionally to the final score of the match against Shakhtar in the Europe League playoffs. The Italian specialist was shocked that he was deprived of victory by a 175 cm tall player who scored a header in the 93rd minute.
"It is very difficult for me to comment on the result. I've been playing football for 30 years, but I've never had situations like today. We wanted to win this match, we almost succeeded. Now we need to focus on the next match. We also have a return game against Shakhtar. We were very close to winning, but we lost it. I can't come here smiling as if we had won," tribuna.com quoted Gattuso as saying.
