Shakhtar Donetsk coach Mircea Lucescu says his side is 'proud' to be in charge of Group E.Lucescu said: 'It is an extraordinary situation – two big clubs like Chelsea and Juventus are depending on our result, since Shakhtar are top of the group. What could be better than this? All of us – the president, coaches, players, club and supporters – are very proud.
'I am not thinking about Chelsea, because all my thoughts are on Juventus. This term, only two teams have been good enough to defeat Juve – Inter and Milan. Our opponents have huge motivation as they cannot afford to lose, but we want to win anyway. This game is like a very important exam, if you can imagine Shakhtar as a student whose goal is to get into higher education. As for Juventus, given their history, traditions and squad, you could compare them to a wise professor from the Academy of Sciences.
'We have a goal before us, to finish first in our group. Many things can affect the result, but the most important one is the quality of our football.'
