FC Bayern doesn’t even have to leave Germany for this Champions League away game. On Tuesday, the German record champions will play against Shakhtar Donetsk. On paper an away game.
But due to the Russian war of aggression that is still taking place in Ukraine, Donetsk plays its premier class home games in the Schalke Arena in Gelsenkirchen.
Coach Vincent Kompany’s team goes into the game as clear favorites. Donetsk is in 26th place in the 36-team league with four points from five games. Most recently in Eindhoven, even a 2-0 lead wasn’t enough for them to win. Coach Marino Pusic’s team landed the only three points against Young Boys Bern, who were still bottom without points (2:1).
With nine points and two defeats in the first five games, Munich didn’t get off to the best start either and are only in 13th place. In order to make it directly into the round of 16, they urgently need three points against the outsiders.
“We want to win against Shakhtar. Then we’ll be completely in the mix so that we can win the last two games in January and move into the top eight,” demanded Bayern sports director Max Eberl.
