Rennes General Director Olivier Cloarec commented on the results of the draw for the 1/16 finals of the Europa League. The French club will meet with Shakhtar.
“A bit of a special draw, because the matches will take place in three months. What form each team will be in is unknown. Like Dynamo, Shakhtar is developing in very specific conditions. We will have to go to Warsaw.
This is not the brightest poster on paper, but this is a team used to European competitions and able to draw with Real Madrid. Shakhtar remains a big name in Europe.
We have ambitions to advance to the next round," Cloarec was quoted as saying by the official website of Rennes.
