WORDS BEFORE THE MATCH

Marino Pushic, Shakhtar head coach:

– "They have very good individual players, because this is Marseille, after all, they invest a lot in this team. If I'm not mistaken, this is a club that is currently ranked fifth or sixth in the Ligue 1 table (actually eighth - ed.), which is very good, and has certain qualities to move on. So it will be a very difficult match. It is a demanding opponent in certain circumstances, especially when you play away in Marseille.
