The head coach of the Turkish Fenerbahce, Jorge Jesus, whose team has already solved the problem of reaching the playoffs of the Europa League, announced the task for the final matches of the group stage of the tournament - against the French Rennes and Dynamo Kyiv.
“This coming Thursday we will have a match with the strongest team in our group — Rennes. Yes, we have already secured a place in the next stage of the Europa League, but it is very important for us to finish in first place in the group. After all, this will allow us to avoid play-offs with teams from the Champions League, and immediately take us to the 1/8 finals of the Europa League. We will solve this problem in matches with Rennes and Dynamo. And, believe me, we will give it our all in these games,” Jesus said.
Recall that Dynamo has already played one match with Fenerbahce in the group stage of the Europa League, losing to the Turkish team in the first round with a score of 1:2. For the second time, the rivals will play each other in the final, 6th round, on November 3. This meeting will be nominally home for the Ukrainian club, but because of the war it will be held in Krakow, Poland.
