Shakhtar Donetsk

[Pedro17]

This team is legit, I hope they keep doing well unless we draw them

 

[Koma]

They deserved good results in past few years, their owner invested enormous amount of money in team, infrastructure and players. I hope they will continue to do well in Europe, but quarterfinals are also very very good thing for them.

Presentation of command in the subject line does not create one.

brief description

The club was originally formed in May 1936 and was initially named Stakhanovets,he represented the society of miners, whose hard work is greatly appreciated, and to this day.

In 1996, Rinat Akhmetov (one of the richest businessmen in Europe) took over as president and subsequently invested heavily in the club.
In 2009, they became only the second Ukrainian team to win a European competition, and the first to win the UEFA Cup, beating Werder Bremen in the final, with goals from Brazilians Luiz Adriano and Jadson. This also made them the last UEFA Cup winners before the tournament was rebranded as the UEFA Europa League. This is the highest achievement of the club.
