And in this case, I can't say that they deserved it more because of the group of death they played in the group stage, because Shakhtar also played in the 2nd group of death (although, everyone underestimated them, but both Napoli and Man-City, two top of the line teams, felt it on their skin when they both lost). Thus, this was truly an equal duel (unlike the other one, where Sevilla outplayed Man-U twice) & unfortunately, one had to go down (again, unlike Man-U, who were only lucky to be here ion the first place)!

But because of their marvelous performance in the group (of death), they deserved this win and going in the 1/4 finals!
Honestly, I wish them all the best
