Shaktar progressed from Group D with 12 points, at the expense of Napoli and Feyenoord. They went into their final game with only three points separating them from third-placed Napoli.

A Surprise Victory

Goals from Bernard and Ismaily dos Santos were enough to give them a needed win and hand Pep Guardiola’s men their first defeat in 25 matches.

As promised, a happy Fonseca showed up to the press conference in the Zorro costume to the amusement of everyone in the room.

“This is the most joyful press conference of my career,” Fonseca said.

“I feel great joy. I think not only Shakhtar’s supporters but all Ukrainians have to be proud of our team.”, he continued.
