"Ukrainians did a great job": Shakhtar's victory over Barcelona caused shock in Russia

The success of Shakhtar Donetsk, which sensationally beat the formidable Barcelona in the Champions League Round of 4, provoked a strong reaction from Russian fans. Fans recognized the strength of our compatriots, surprised by this result.

"Congratulations to Shakhtar! The team has been forced to wander the world for so many years (thanks to the 'saviors of a Russian world') and still beat Barcelona! Applause!" fans from Russia wrote.

Others point out that Shakhtar have already developed their own signature style.

"Shakhtar have been surprising for years now... they were good last season... Mudryk went crazy and broke up the group... But this year, no one expected anything from them. And they still surprise... fantastic", "Ukrainians are great. In such difficult conditions, almost without legionnaires. Just fantastic," the comments read.

As reported by OBOZ.UA, the Shakhtar-Barcelona match in Hamburg, which was nominally a home match, ended sensationally with a 1-0 score.

Danylo Sikan scored the only goal with an unrealistic looping shot.

It will be recalled that Sikan has played 72 matches in Shakhtar's jersey since 2019, scoring 16 goals and providing 6 assists. The transfer fee is €4 million.

It is worth noting that Sikan was the author of an incredible foul in the fifth round of the Champions League group stage match of the 22/23 season, in which the Miners played away with Scottish Celtic. The forward failed to realize a 100% scoring chance at the end of the game, not bringing the team victory.
