10 Sep
Summary

Shakhtar Donetsk's head coach, Arda Turan, has shared insights into his team's challenging preparations ahead of their match against PSV. The Ukrainian side faced an arduous journey, traveling by bus from Lviv to cross the border into Poland, and then flying from Rzeszow to reach the Netherlands.

This collective determination underscores their commitment on the field.
