Shakhtar Donetsk advances in Champions League

KHARKIV, Ukraine (AP) — with a 2-1 victory over Manchester City on Wednesday, prompting the Ukrainian club’s coach to attend his news conference dressed as Zorro.

Paulo Fonseca appeared in a black hat, cape and mask after his team had ended the English club’s unbeaten record in all competitions this season.

“This is the most joyful press conference of my career,” Fonseca told reporters.

“I feel great joy. I think not only Shakhtar’s supporters but all Ukrainians have to be proud of our team.
