Coach of Shakhtar Donetsk Marino Pusic He commented on the match in which the Donetsk team lost to Barcelona with a score of 1:2 in the 3rd round match of the Champions League.

“The last three days were incredible. I moved from one big club to another and then played a difficult game in Barcelona… It was very emotional. I didn’t make too many changes because I saw the team was playing pretty good football.

My team went through many emotions. They’ve had three coaches in the last few days. They are football players but also people; We can’t forget that they have feelings too. They came out tonight and competed against Barcelona, ​​so I’m very proud of them.

My players did everything I wanted. They showed courage when they had to endure. They supported each other. We pressed well without the ball, but it is difficult to achieve the same intensity with the ball against a team like Barcelona. I think Shakhtar’s players show great potential, I am very happy about that.

I want to enjoy watching football. Shakhtar is a big team and we must play good football. “We must try to put pressure on our opponent and impose our game,” Pusic said.

Shakhtar’s next match in the Champions League will be played against Barcelona on 7 November, kick-off will be at 19:45.
