The fact that the Meshki managed to progress to the next round of the cup competition after defeating http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 FC on aggregate gives Hulk a reason to cheer, who believes that Zenit were fortunate enough to eliminate worthy opponents.

“I am happy to make it to the next round of the Europa League.”
