Dynamo vs Shakhtar: players' opinions

- I am happy that I participated in this triumph, and I am surely satisfied with the team winning this match. Tonight, we proved to be a strong and united team, showed our best qualities both defensively and offensively, operated literally as machines and demonstrated character. I dedicate the goal to my family, friends, my girlfriend, who is always there, and to all teammates, which always support me. It is clear that our advantage over Dynamo in points increased even more, but we are not going to think about it now. There are six more matches ahead of us, and we should concentrate on them.

- This game meant a lot to us. It was crucial to prove ourselves and display the work, which we have been doing until this day. We were completely ready for the encounter physically and emotionally and achieved what we most wanted, that is claiming a victory in this match. Paulo Fonseca prepared us well for the game: we have been carefully analysing the opponents’ strengths and weaknesses throughout the entire week, and managed to implement everything that the coach asked for. The main thing is that we totally neutralized Dynamo attacking line, and they have contrived to create not a single moment of danger.
