Shakhtar goalkeeper Dmytro Riznyk commented on the team’s defeat in the match of the 3rd round of the group stage of the Champions League against “Arsenal”.
“In the first half, we were looking for our game; perhaps there was a bit of nervousness. Then we talked in the locker room, and in the second half, the game was completely different: we controlled the ball more and were not afraid to act. We fell a little short. We conceded a rather comical goal and could not score. It’s a pity.
I am very happy that I managed to save the penalty shot, but it’s a pity that the team lost. “Arsenal” is quite a good team that plays football, so I believe we gave a worthy fight and demonstrated a decent game. Is the score fair? I think we could have secured a draw,” Riznyk is quoted by the official website of “Shakhtar”.
