'I WILL NEVER FEEL REGRET'
Arda Turan said after the match: "As for the verbal altercation you saw today, I understand that emotions are running high, but there are some red lines that should not be crossed. I think that words that are said about family or relatives are inappropriate under any circumstances, they shouldn't be resorted to in any situation. So, yes, maybe my reaction was a bit exaggerated, but I never regret it, even if my reaction was too harsh in similar situations."

In response to Belik, Arda Turan said: "Shakhtar U19 have a really great coach. I really like what he does and I support all his initiatives. And maybe, really, he could have managed to coach Shakhtar better than me."
