"Ukrainian Shakhtar was left without a ticket to the main round of the Europa League."
This happened after Rijeka defeated Slaven (1:0) in the Croatian Cup final, as a result of which Dinamo Zagreb was able to maintain the higher UEFA coefficient and immediately advance to the main round of the Europa League.
Thus, Shakhtar must now start the European season with the first qualifying round of the Europa League.
The draw for this round will take place on June 17, and the matches will be played on July 10 and 17.
