Lucescu convinced Shakhtar Donetsk deserved more from Juventus draw

Shakhtar Donetsk coach Mircea Lucescu felt they deserved more from their 1-1 draw at Champions League opponents Juventus.

Shakhtar had 58 per cent of possession at the Juventus Stadium and rattled the crossbar in stoppages.

"A point against Juventus is great and an important result. Now we are to be counted on in the running for the knockout phase too," Coach Lucescu told Sky Sport Italia.

"We are unbeaten in 26 games. This team has grown together, I have 23 and 24-year-olds who have been playing in the same squad since they were 18.

"I built this team and we are not afraid to play anywhere."
