Real Madrid begin their 2020-21 Champions League campaign with a home match against Ukrainian champions Shakhtar Donetsk in a tricky looking Group B.
Real Madrid will be looking to make a flying start to their Champions League campaign when they host the Shakhtar team at Alfredo di Stefano Stadium on Wednesday evening. Los Blancos did well to win the La Liga title last term, and they are now on a quest to regain the Champions League trophy. Even though Eden Hazard remains in the treatment room, Zinedine Zidane’s troops are seen as hot favorites to win the opener.
Despite a couple of fine performances at the start of the season, Serbia international Luka Jovic is unlikely to start against Shakhtar. After winning the Champions League in three successive seasons between 2016 and 2018, Madrid have now exited the competition in the last-16 stage in back-to-back campaigns. Last season's early exit at the hands of Manchester City was a tough one to take, but the blow was softened by a first La Liga title in three years. As ever with Madrid, the target this term will be a clean sweep of honors - La Liga, Champions League and Copa del Rey - but they have made a mixed start to 2020-21 overall.
The Miners, on the other hand, have established themselves as the dominant force in the Ukrainian Premier League, but they face an uphill task in their Champions League opener. In their last meeting in the elite competition, Real Madrid recorded back-to-back wins over Shakhtar Donetsk (4-3, 4-0). The Miners won their domestic league for the fourth season in a row last time out but have been slow off the mark this term, drawing three of their opening six matches. However, they thumped Lviv 5-1 last time out in perfect preparation for this trip to the Santiago Bernabeu, where they will be looking to pull off a shock victory.

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
