Our mistake. If we beat Nordsjaelland two weeks ago, then the next match against Chelsea could have meant a direct qualification, one round before the end of group stages.
jesus guys don't be so pessimistic. sure, it's an uphill battle but we're not out yet. I do think a win vs chelsea at home is very much possible. have a little faith in this team
i cant believe how lucky they are...again I mean wow.
shakatar hit the post and dominated the game, getting knocked out to chelsea how humilitaing. I hope we take the europa league seriously this time. We need coifficient points to give us a better pot for next year
It has changed a bit, though. If Shakhtar held the draw and beat Nordsjaelland in the next round, then they would have qualified or won the group one round before the end. The match against Juve would have been completely meaningless for them. That way we could have played a draw vs Chelsea and have a solid chance to win against a completely disinterested Shakhtar. This way, as things stand now, a draw vs Chelsea will mean a MUST win against a Shakhtar team that will play for their life. Even more, in Ukraine, in front of their own fans.
