The Dutch are delighted with the crushing victory over Shakhtar. From the very beginning they were sure that their club was much stronger, so a draw in the first match only made everyone angry.
Photo: gettyimages.comFeyenoord fans had no doubts about their team and wrote that they could easily beat Shakhtar at home. However, no one expected the victory to be so simple and impressive. Apparently, the Dutch were very hurt by the fact that Shakhtar underestimated Feyenoord after the first match and thought that they could go further. And this is despite the solid advantage of the Netherlands in the first meeting. Therefore, Feyenoord fans are happy that their club was defeated by Shakhtar.
Axzel: Is this the same super goalkeeper who supposedly can go to the top clubs in Europe? This Trubin missed almost all the shots that just flew towards the goal. Only amateur clubs in the Netherlands will take such goalkeepers. And even then, it’s easier to ask a man from the street to stand at the gate, he will miss less.
Malloot: Shakhtar doesn't know how to play football at all. How could they get this far? Didn't follow their performances. Perhaps UEFA helped the Ukrainians go as far as possible, given the war in Ukraine. To please the Ukrainian people a little. I don't see any other explanation for this. Such a weak team could not honestly go so far.
Sissefries: I wonder if there have ever been such humiliating defeats in the history of the tournament? Here is the result itself, and how Shakhtar played. I can’t remember if I saw such weak teams at this stage at all.
Vatloco: Shakhtar's luck has run out and this is what happened. The Ukrainians were just incredibly lucky in the match against Rennes. Before that, they were lucky in games with Celtic and Real Madrid. I haven't seen any other matches, to be honest.
Legion: I am sure that after such a humiliating defeat, Shakhtar will talk for a long time about the difficulties due to the war, about personnel problems, and all that. Although everyone understands that they were just superfluous at this stage.
FeyeForLive: For such teams, you need to come up with a separate tournament. I would call it the League of Losers. It was funny to watch how the Ukrainians quietly rejoiced that they were able to score at least one goal. I even felt a little sorry for them, they played so badly today.
Mannetje: I'm not even particularly surprised that everything ended this way for Shakhtar. In the first match, we should have won somewhere 4:0. Today we just scored for both this match and the one that took place in Poland. In general, somewhere such a result in the sum of two matches should be. Feyenoord were not only stronger, they had a colossal advantage, both in Poland and today.
Sikking: Arne Slot is a very cunning and smart coach. He deliberately praised the Ukrainians and talked about what a strong opponent they were. It seems that Shakhtar itself already believed that they played very well in the first match.
Dappere: This is definitely the best match for Feyenoord. Perhaps not even in the season, but in European competitions in general. I don’t even remember right away if our club has ever won with such a score at such a stage. Ukrainians seem to have already lost with such a score in European competitions. I remember exactly that they conceded 7 goals, but I don’t remember from whom. But it's nice that we also showed them a master class.
Osama: Perhaps the best match of the season for Feyenoord. It was very easy to beat an uncomfortable opponent who likes to play defensively. It helped that we scored an early goal. And then it was much easier. I was surprised at how easily we managed to outplay Shakhtar.
Salim: I said even after the first match that we should not scold our team and overestimate the Ukrainians. Shakhtar happened to be at this stage by accident. They just don't have good players, they don't have defenders, they don't have forwards, they have a mediocre goalkeeper. More or less a good coach and lots and lots of luck. That's the whole "secret" of Shakhtar's success this season. As soon as the luck ended, so did Shakhtar, as well as its strange adventures in European competitions.
Fey77: There is a great proverb about teams like Shakhtar: "Even if a monkey wears a golden ring, it remains ugly." The fact that the Ukrainians were able to draw in the first match does not negate the fact that they played very badly. And it was clear that twice they would not be so lucky. I don’t know if Feyenoord deserved to win 7-1 today, but I know for sure that it was our club that deserved to confidently go to the next round, since we were much stronger both then and now.
ficusje: I dreamed that Feyenoord scored 7 goals against Shakhtar, but I thought it was impossible in real life. How wrong I was! In fact, we could score not even 7, but 9-10 goals. This would definitely be the biggest victory for Feyenoord in the history of the club. At least in European competitions. But even 7:1 is an incredible result. I'm proud of the team.
Kaar: Modesty adorns people. Shakhtar should remember this. I was surprised how calm our players were. They did not rejoice as wild at every goal. They behaved with dignity and simply showed the Ukrainians their place. Score an accidental goal is not something to be proud of. Shakhtar should have understood that they were much worse in the first match. But the Ukrainians, apparently, thought that they would be so lucky in the return match.
Alladin: It was nice to humiliate Shakhtar, they deserved it. There was too much talk after the first match, in which they incredibly managed to draw, although even then they should have been devastatingly losing.
Hunebed: This is the most amazing victory I have ever seen. Everything was so easy, as if it were a computer game and you were operating at the lowest level of difficulty. If I didn't know that this is the 1/8 finals of the Europa League, I would think that Feyenoord is playing against a club from the amateur league. That's how bad they played today.
Sonian: Feyenoord scored 7 goals, but it seems that the team didn't even put a lot of effort. Shakhtar surprised me a lot. I understand that this is a weak team, that they have many problems. But if you have already come this far, then fight. But Shakhtar didn't seem to be ready for the match. However, for us it is only a plus. There will be more strength left for other matches.
Crocket: After the first match, it was especially pleasant to defeat Shakhtar so easily. I would be so angry after playing in Poland that I can't even put it into words. And I am extremely happy that Feyenoord humiliated Shakhtar and proved that we are much stronger and much better. The only pity is that they conceded a stupid goal. It would have been better if they had won with a clean sheet.
MarkB: After the draw, I said that we got the weakest club, which accidentally reached the 1/8 finals of the Europa League. Then people tried to argue with me and prove that Shakhtar is a very dangerous opponent that can even beat us. I wonder if these idiots have the courage to enter the forum today and repeat their words? You have to believe in Feyenoord. We have a really great team.
KetelA: I don't know what will happen next. Who will we play in the quarterfinals, will we be able to win the tournament. Now I don't want to think about it. Let's just enjoy once again one of the best Feyenoord matches in the history of the club. That was incredible. Thanks to the team for such emotions that are difficult to put into words.
Bassie: Is this the most humiliating defeat of Shakhtar in the entire history of the club? At some point, it even became not interesting to watch. No fight, no intrigue. It was as if our team was playing against people who saw each other for the first time today. I can’t even believe that it was a match of the 1/8 finals of the Europa League.
