Shakhtar midfielder Ivan Petriak speaks on the Champions League match with Leipzig.

– What was the most difficult thing in the game with Leipzig?

– They have a physically strong team, a quick goal broke us down, and we had to open up. They took advantage of our mistakes, we couldn't score, even though there were a few good moments. Leipzig realized their moments.

– Did you lack emotions for the match with Leipzig after entering the Europa League?
– I disagree. We were preparing, there were enough emotions, the coach motivated us greatly. We wanted to win but it's football. Let me repeat: a quick goal decided everything. We only needed a win, and it's normal that the team started opening up, so we lost.

– What will Shakhtar fight for in the EL?
– Life will show. Now we are preparing for the championship, because the games are held every three days. We only have to think about the next match, and in the Europa League we will watch the opponent.

– Today, the referee judged in an English manner. Do I agree that in a few episodes, with your participation, the referee in the UPL would have awarded a penalty?
– Of course, I totally agree. I was knocked down, and I felt that the opponent also fell on top of me. I felt a touch and couldn't stand on my feet but the referee who was there and the side referee were silent. They're probably used to a game like this, but we're not. If I could stand on my feet, I would resist.
