Shakhtar Donetsk defender Vitao has admitted that Inter are a very strong team ahead of next week’s UEFA Champions League group stage finale with them.
Group B is wide open heading into the final group stage match with all four sides capable of reaching the next round of the competition.
Shakhtar Donetsk currently sit second in the group and could progress with a win or a draw depending on how the match between Real Madrid and Borussia Monchengladbach goes.
Inter meanwhile have to get the better of Shakhtar Donetsk and hope that the match between Real Madrid and Borussia Monchengladbach does not end in a draw.
“The main thing is to stay grounded, not to fly too high in the sky, because we need to get a result in the closing Champions League group stage game against Inter in Milan,” he explained in an interview with Ukrainaian broadcaster Futbol 1.
“They are also a very strong team, but we’ll do our utmost to make it to the Champions League last 16.”
The 20-year-old, who is into his second year with the Ukrainian powerhouses, has made three appearances across all competitions to date this term but has been unable to make any goal contributions when on the field.
