Champions League: Shakhtar Donetsk boss keeps his word, dresses up as Zorro after sealing last-16 spot

An overjoyed Shakhtar Donetsk manager Paulo Fonseca fulfilled his promise to dress up as fictional character Zorro after leading his side into the Champions League knockout stages with a 2-1 win over Premier League club Manchester City on Wednesday.

I think not only Shakhtar’s supporters but all Ukrainians have to be proud of our team.” Goals from Bernard and Ismaily handed City, who responded with a Sergio Aguero stoppage-time penalty, their first defeat of the season and led Fonseca’s side to a second-place finish in Group F. The draw for the last 16 takes place in Switzerland on Monday, and Shakhtar could face group winners Paris Saint-Germain, Roma, Barcelona, Liverpool, Besiktas, Manchester United or Tottenham Hotspur in the knockout stages.
