Europa League. Shakhtar will be in the second basket during the 1/16 finals draw
After losing in the last round of the Champions League group stage from Atalanta Shakhtar took only third place in their quartet, which gave the Pitmen the right to play in the 1/16 finals of the Europa League.
Before the draw of the 1/16 finals, which will take place on Monday, December 16, Donetsk will be in the second basket and can get a pretty strong opponent like "Ajax", "Benfica" or "Inter". The reason is that in the correspondence competition of the third places of the Champions League they did not get into the top four (the number of points, the difference between goals scored and conceded, the number of goals scored were taken into account).
