Former midfielder, and now one of the coaches of Ingulets, Mladen Bartulovich, shared his reaction to the European Cup playoff draw for Ukrainian clubs. Recall that Shakhtar in the 1/16 finals of the Europa League will compete with the French Rennes, and the opponent of Dnipro-1 at the same stage of the Conference League was the Cypriot AEK, which at the beginning of this season "did not let" Dnipro into the group stage of the League Europe.
Mladen Bartulovich“For Dnipro-1, AEK will be an irritant. Dnipro lost to them in the Europa League qualification. I think it will be a very interesting matchup. I hope that Dnepr-1 will be able to take revenge.
Shakhtar, I also think that there is every chance to fight for further advancement. Yes, Rennes is a good team, but I think Shakhtar can handle it, if we take into account the Pitmen's performance in this Champions League season," said Bartulovich.
