WARSAW, Poland -- "We wanted to hit the jackpot, but it was not to be," Shakhtar Donetsk coach Igor Jovicevic said after RB Leipzig's 4-0 victory in Warsaw denied the Ukrainian team a place in the Champions League knockout stages.
"It is unreal what we have had to do. We train, then think about shelters and bunkers, our troops fighting for us. And then we have to think about Leipzig."
It is a 930-mile journey from Donetsk to Warsaw, but it is a road less travelled in such bleak times that ensure Shakhtar must play their Champions League home games in the Polish capital.
