SHAKHTAR NEWS

Shakhtar is two points behind Lyon because the French team won four points against Manchester City, while Shakhtar won none. They are confident and they think they are better team than Lyon. In the first game played in October, Shakhtar had a 2:0 lead in the match without spectators, but Lyon equalized within two minutes, after Dembele and Dubois scored in 70th and 72nd minute of the match. That strange match might cost them the place in the knockout phase of the competition, but a victory in the upcoming game will erase everything that happened in this group.
