SHAKHTAR DONETSK 1-1 Valencia (Valencia win 9-8 on penalties)
What can we say, cup football can be cruel. We did lose the lead early but reacted well and on another day we'd get some more fortune but the game went to the lottery of penalties and one of the last players we'd want to take one missed after both teams scored a straight 8 beforehand. We did play well against a side who has already beaten us in the league and we did miss one of our main men so to play like we did is pleasing, but we could've done with one more round just for the finances.
We gave it a go and we wish Valencia well going into the last 8.
Atletico Madrid moved into the quarter final with a comfortable victory in Holland. Havertz was at the double and the away side took the opportunity of getting senior and adopo some valuable minutes. Bit of a nosebleed for Atletico and marsh getting this far. Withs some big hitting sides in the quarter finals managers will be hoping to draw Valencia the only second tier side to make it this far
We travelled to FAKE FC and thought we would give them a chance by playing two forwards. However, it was an easy victory and we wish them the best for the remainder of the season, under the guidance of 'that bloke from down south'.
The negative aspect was a red card to Lukemba who misses a crucial game against Fiorentina on Friday.
