Midfielder of Shakhtar Artem Bondarenko commented on the upcoming match of the 5th round of the group stage Champions League against Celtic.
“We expect a very difficult game. We learned Celtic and we respect the opponent – they are a good team, showing intense football, creating many chances. Moreover, with the support of their fans, they are able to deliver even more problems. However, we are ready for this and will try to show our game. We have come here for results and are looking forward to taking another step towards our dream of qualifying for the next round of the Champions League.”
