Shakhtar Donetsk head coach Igor Jovicevich shared his expectations from the Europa League round of 16 draw, which will take place tomorrow, November 7.
Igor Jovichevich“The eight teams that we have as potential rivals are more like the Champions League than the Europa League. But it's still a big challenge for us. The fact that we are there is a huge feat.
I think the one who gets us as rivals in the draw will also not be very happy. We have shown ourselves and deserve the respect of European clubs, fans, and the press. And this work must continue so that we can expect our rival in such a tone in February,” said Jovicevich.
As a reminder, the possible opponents of Shakhtar in the 1/16 finals of the Europa League are the following teams:
PSV (Eindhoven, The Netherlands)
"Rennes" (France)
"Roma" (Rome, Italy)
"Union" (Berlin, Germany)
"Manchester United" (Manchester, England)
Midtjylland (Herning, Denmark)
"Nantes" (France)
"Monaco" (France)
