Shakhtar had "no hope" against PSG - Lucescu


Shakhtar Donetsk manager Mircea Lucescu believes
his side had "no hope" of beating Paris Saint-Germain
in the Champions League.

Following the 3-0 Champions League loss to Paris Saint-
Germain, Shakhtar Donetsk manager Mircea Lucescu says that
his side had "no hope to win" against the Ligue 1 giants.

Having fallen two behind at half time courtesy of efforts from
Serge Aurier and David Luiz, Darijo Srna's late own goal
rounded off a poor night in Lviv for Lucescu's men, who remain
winless at the bottom of Group A.

But the Romanian insists he is far from disappointed by his
side's display, believing that Shakhtar left a good impression
despite the defeat, and has backed PSG to go far in the
competition.

"I had no hope to win. They have players with such experience,"
he said. "But we left an impression.

"After their first goal we balanced the game, and the second and
third was just bad luck.

"I think the image we leave is still positive.

PSG and Real are
two extremely strong teams. There can be no comparison
between us and them.

"PSG will go easy until the semi-finals, I have no doubt about
that. They have a team of superstars.
