Shakhtar captain Taras Stepanenko on the match against Celtic and prospects of the team in the meet with RB Leipzig.

– Are you satisfied with one point in the match vs Celtic?
– Sure. This match was tough both for us and Celtic. The opponents demonstrated good attacking play and pressing, it was very difficult for us. But we waited our chance and scored. We also had a chance to score the second goal as well, but it is football. We achieved fine result, now there will be the European spring for us, because we are going to continue our path in the Europa League at least. We continue to play like this.

– Mudryk and Sikan had the chances to earn three points for the team.
– Yes, we had the opportunity to score the second goal, but Celtic had one or two chances as well, so draw is a good result and it is better for us. Such team deserve to continue their way.

– RB Leipzig also won their match. You must win in the final round to take the second spot in the group.
– Why not? No one believed that we would be able to play like this at the beginning of the group stage. We can earn thus result and we have the opportunity to continue our performance in the Champions League. We have already played well against RB Leipzig away and now we can do the same at home. We have played perfectly against Real Madrid and scored the goal at the end. Every time there is going to be a fight. We have a young, strong team, and we will head for victory.
