Shakhtar head coach Mircea Lucescu has shared expectations of the Donetsk team's performances in the Champions League next season, hoping to improve the Club's results in the European Championship in comparison with the previous game. 
«Very much in the Champions League, of course, depends on the draw. Because we - as the team from Eastern Europe - cannot be compared with large European grandees from the perspective of the history, traditions, their financial capabilities. I confidently say: If a team from Eastern Europe goes into the quarterfinals of the Champions League, it is tantamount to victory. Because a very big financial interest in this competition. But we need to take a step forward. 
Of course, it would be desirable if Shakhtar played in the semi-finals of the Champions League. It has all the features and unique Stadium, which, in my opinion, the only of its kind in the world, and talented players that can compete with any high-level perpetrators,» - said Lucescu.
