The famous Ukrainian coach Yuriy Virt shared his thoughts on the match Arsenal vs Shakhtar in the third round of the main stage of the Champions League.
— There is a chance, but I don’t think it will be significant. Arsenal today is a powerful team, one of the best in Europe. Moreover, they are playing at home after a defeat in the league against Bournemouth (0:2). This result will motivate them to make amends in front of their own fans. The game will be tough for Shakhtar, and it will be extremely hard for the miners to withstand the attacks of the London team. However, I think that in such a football atmosphere as in England, it is also pleasant for Shakhtar players to play. The motivation of the Donetsk team is likely to be off the charts in the away match. The mood, dedication, and desire in the match against Arsenal will be several times higher," said the expert.
