Rafael Benitez calls for Shakhtar Donetsk performance

Chelsea interim manager Rafael Benitez has called on Shakhtar Donetsk to show the world how good they really are when they face Juventus in the Champions League on Wednesday.

The Blues must beat Nordsjaelland and hope that Juventus lose to the Ukrainians in order to reach the next round of the competition.

"We know that a draw would be bad for us but the positive thing is that Shakhtar has a lot of good players and everybody is talking about them, so they have to show the rest of the world that they are really good players," Benitez told Sky Sports News.

"When you know the top sides in Europe or in the world are watching you then you have to perform. Obviously, Juve will go for the win but Shakhtar will need to show this level what they have."

Benitez has drawn two and lost one of his opening three games in charge of Chelsea following his appointment last month.
