After the Champions League on Tuesday and Wednesday, the Europa League resumes on Thursday February 16 with the start of the quarter-finals. On the program from 6:45 p.m., the poster between Shakhtar Donetsk and Stade Rennais.
The Ukrainian team Shakhtar Donetsk receives in Poland, during the first leg of the 1/6th finals of the Europa League the club of Rennes. The Bretons move in Poland since the war has been in full swing for almost a year in Ukraine. The two teams that will face each other are going through a somewhat gloomy period. Shakhtar first, holds only 2 wins in 8 games. Rennes, in 8 games, has only 3 wins including one over PSG. The Bretons seem to have orphaned certain executives in the infirmary (Martin Terrier or Hamari Traoré).
But Europe is made of a completely different wood, even the Europa League. This competition remains a source of motivation for the players. Shakhtar emerges from a raised group in the Champions League. The Ukrainians have indeed arrived behind Real Madrid and RB Leipzig and ahead of Celtic Glasgow. Rennes easily managed to qualify for the play-offs by positioning themselves second in the group ahead of Fenerbahce. The experience is obviously on the side of Shakhtar who have already beaten the Rennais Stadium in the Europa League in 2005. The Bretons will have nothing to lose and will host the return on February 23.

Bruno Genesio is in Poland still without his striker Martin Terrier who ruptured his cruciate ligaments in his right knee against Nice on January 2, 2023. But the coach must also compose without his captain Hamari Traoré, Xeka or Assignon. The right side is nevertheless on the trip, because the coach wishes to take advantage of “his exemplary attitude” which he considers essential.
