Thanks to a brace from Ciro Immobile, Lazio is about to move into the knockout phase of the Champions League. Shakhtar Donetsk also secured a good chance of advancing on Tuesday (November 28, 2023).
Immobile, who stormed for Borussia Dortmund in the 2014/15 season, secured the 2-0 (0-0) win against Celtic Glasgow with two late goals within three minutes (82nd/85th) and ensured that his team could celebrate making it to the round of 16 in the evening. Should Atletico Madrid win at Feyenoord Rotterdam, Lazio would no longer be able to take one of the top two places in Group E. Meanwhile, it is already clear that Celtic will not survive the winter in the European Cup.
Donetsk gets final in Porto
Donetsk has already secured that with a 1-0 (1-0) win in Hamburg against Antwerp. With nine points, the club from Ukraine is still in third place, which would be enough for Europa League qualification, and can no longer be overtaken by the pointless Belgians. In Porto, Shakhtyar will be aiming for a place in the round of 16 on the last matchday. A goal from Mykola Matwijenko (12th minute) gave the club a good starting position – and sealed Antwerp’s early elimination.
