Dario Srna (photo: shakhtar.com)— Dario, how would you rate the group and the strength of the opponents?
— There are no easy groups in the Champions League. We will fight to the last. Real Madrid is, of course, Real Madrid. We already played with "Celtic" 18 and 15 years ago. "Leipzig" is a good team. So let's put it this way: it could have been worse, it could have been better.
— Is there no satisfaction from such a draw?
- Well, listen, we have to play. We are preparing for the championship. We have a young team, a new coach. The most important thing is to enjoy the games that are waiting for us. Unfortunately, there will not be full stands in Ukraine, but I am sure that there will be in Warsaw. Many of our fans, Ukrainians, will come - they deserve, like all of Ukraine, that we demonstrate good, bright football, so that they enjoy our game.
— La Liga and Bundesliga have already started. What can you say about the current state of the teams?
— "Leipzig", like us, did not start too well: they have two points in three games. Celtic weren't watching and Real Madrid is Real Madrid. Let's analyze. First, you need to think about Kryvbas, prepare well. Then "Movement". And after that we will think about the Champions League.
