"If I am a professional, then Mkhitaryan is a super-professional. That is why he has achieved impressive success in Germany and England. We know each other well because we are the same age. It can be said that we grew up together. We talked after the draw, I asked for his shirt for my personal museum," the Ukrainian footballer said, Corriere dello Sport reported.

Mkhitaryan had played for Shakhtar from 2010 to 2013.
