(Reuters) - An overjoyed Shakhtar Donetsk manager Paulo Fonseca fulfilled his promise to dress up as fictional character Zorro after leading his side into the Champions League knockout stages with a 2-1 win over Premier League club Manchester City on Wednesday.

Last month, Fonseca vowed that he would don the iconic masked vigilante's outfit if the Ukrainian side progressed to the last 16 and stuck to his word, wearing a black cape, mask and hat during the post-match presser after the win.
