Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Georgy Sudakov shared his reaction to yesterday's results of the draw of the 1/8 finals of the Europa League, which against his team at this stage gave the Dutch Feyenoord.
"I think everyone has already seen what teams are in the playoffs of the Europa League. In the 1/8 finals, we wanted to get Ferencvaros. But there are no weak teams here anymore. Probably we didn't want Arsenal. But Feyenoord is not a much weaker team.
Our opponents are a good team, which last year played in the finals of the Conference League, and now they are in first place in the championship of the Netherlands. I know some of the players from Feyenoord, they are very talented and promising performers," Sudakov told Shakhtar's press service.
