The Shakhtar vs Real Madrid match will take place on 11 October
Shakhtar goalkeeper Anatoly Trubin on the eve of the game in the 4th round of the Champions League group stage with Real Madrid focused on maximum concentration.
“The latest news is very sad for all of us, for all Ukrainians. However, we need to be strong and show the whole world that Ukrainians are a strong people. You should go out tomorrow and concentrate on the match as much as possible. The latest events should not be an excuse, because this is the Champions League and here you need to give all your best not 100 percent, but 1,000.”
“I myself come from Donetsk and have been to many of Shakhtar’s matches in Donetsk. I think if we played in Donetsk, we would have a much better chance, because the support of the fans and the atmosphere at the Donbass Arena is a different level. I really miss this. I agree with Mister that we will win and play Champions League matches at the Donbass Arena as soon as possible. And it will be a holiday for everyone.”
“We are molded from such a test that we cannot sit back and think about the bad. We must be one team that will be very motivated and focused to the maximum. As Mister already said, 90 minutes of the Champions League help fans in Ukraine forget all the problems. Like our soldiers, we will try to do everything to give our people joy and a smile. At least for 90 minutes, people can forget everything that is happening now and focus only on football. Football is a game that everyone loves, it gives positive emotions.”
“Tomorrow will be a completely different game, because we are better prepared for the second leg. We know we can play better even against teams like Real Madrid. As Mister noted, we need more courage, we need to play our game and be a miner. If there are times when I have to bail out the team, that’s what I have to do. Everyone has a role to play on the football field and everyone must fulfill it at the highest level. You have to play perfectly if you want to beat Real Madrid.”
The match between Shakhtar and Real Madrid will take place on October 11, starting at 22:00. Real Madrid scored maximum points in three rounds of the Champions League and is in the lead in the quartet F. The miner is second with four points.
