Shakhtar Donetsk captain Mykola Matviyenko has called on his side to settle an old debt against PSV as they return to the Champions League. The defender praised head coach Arda Turan for mentally preparing their inexperienced squad for the high-pressure clash in Eindhoven.

Shakhtar Donetsk head coach Arda Turan has reflected on the lessons learned from legendary manager Guus Hiddink ahead of facing PSV. The Turkish boss guided his side through a grueling border-crossing bus journey from Lviv before promising a courageous approach in Eindhoven.

Ivan Perisic has called on PSV Eindhoven to take a major step forward in the Champions League as they host Shakhtar Donetsk. The experienced winger urged his team-mates to avoid past opening-day mistakes while fiercely defending young forward Ruben van Bommel following recent media criticism.

PSV Eindhoven manager Peter Bosz insists his side are vastly improved and far more mature ahead of their Champions League opener against Shakhtar Donetsk. The Dutch coach also brushed off media controversy surrounding Ruben van Bommel, labelling the ongoing public outrage laughably ridiculous.
