Shakhtar Donetsk coach Mircea Lucescu has warned his side against complacency in their Europa League quarter-final second leg against Braga.

Shakhtar Donetsk coach Mircea Lucescu underlined the importance of Brazilian winger Taison to his side ahead of their Europa League quarter-final second leg against Braga.

Lucescu's men lead the tie after goals from Yaroslav Rakitskiy and Facundo Ferreyra helped them to a 2-1 first leg victory in Portugal, but the coach believes 28-year-old Taison is the man to watch as he seeks a strong end to the season.

Taison has been linked with a move away from Donbass Arena, with Chelsea said to be chasing his signature.
