I can assure you that Real Madrid is the best club in the world, the best organization in the world, although Shakhtar is not so far from it in terms of organization. But still, the advantage is on their side, it must be admitted.
Real Madrid have the highest level of players, so we will prepare very seriously. We will do our best to please the Ukrainian fans. We will do our best. And two years ago, Shakhtar already proved that even the top players can take points and stick to their plan. I can say for sure that we will fight from the first to the last minute, ”Jovicevich quotes Shakhtar's official website.
