After the first leg in Istanbul, which Shakhtar won 4-2, Turan was interviewed by club reporter Daria Bondar Savina.
But as the 24-year-old spoke to Turan, the Turkish boss appeared to struggle to look at her.
The ex-midfielder fidgeted throughout the two-minute interview and put his hands in his pockets.
Turan didn’t quite stare at the floor the whole time, Ange Postecoglou style, but moments of eye contact were fairly brief.
The clip has only just been discovered on social media.
One fan responded: “He’s trying so hard.”
Savina is Shakhtar’s head of media and has gathered a huge Instagram following of more than 500,000.

Turan married wife Aslıhan Dogan in 2018.
The ceremony was attended by Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
As a reporter attempted to quiz Aslihan, Turan fumed: “Be respectful, or I will crush your head and eyes! You’re talking to my wife.”
The couple have two children together; Hamza Arda, six, and Asil Aslan, five.
Turan has had an eventful career in the game.
In 2019, Turan was hit with a two year and eight month suspended jail sentence after being found guilty of intentional injury and possession of an unlicensed weapon.
The row began when Turan was alleged to have approached Turkish pop star Berkay’s wife Ozlem Ada Sahin.
He was claimed to have told her: “If I was not married, I wouldn’t miss a girl like you.”
Turan then broke Berkay’s nose when confronted, before following him to hospital.
The footballer was later found to have brandished a gun in Berkay’s room, saying: “I didn’t know she is your wife. I’m sorry, just kill me.”
The singer refused, but fellow hospital patients were left terrified after the gun went off.
Turan later submitted a written statement in which he apologised for his “instant error”.
