But he told Shakhtar's website that "there were unpleasant shouts, racist ones" aimed at him.

Shakhtar Donetsk became the first team to score six goals in the first half of a Champions League game, putting its homelessness as a result of the Ukrainian conflict aside.

Alex Teixeira and Douglas Costa also scored for Shakhtar.

The win leaves Shakhtar second in group H on five points, two behind Porto, which beat Athletic Bilbao 2-1.

Shakhtar played its previous Champions League match, a schedule a home game against Porto, at Arena Lviv in western Ukraine, more than 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) from Donetsk.
