Real Madrid take on the visitors Shakhtar Donetsk in the round 3 match of UEFA Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Wednesday, October 5th at Estadio Santiago Bernabéu (Madrid).
Real Madrid are the current title holder, and in 2022 they further increased their lead over all others in terms of the number of trophies. Yes, the spring playoffs will be remembered for a long time. After all, relegation at any stage, from PSG, even Chelsea and especially Manchester City would be logical. And in the final, Liverpool were no worse, at least. But the Cup again was raised Ancelotti! And before that, they won the Spanish Super Cup and Primera. Galacticos started the new season with 100% performance in all tournaments. The injury of their unconditionally leading scorer, Benzema, did not interfere either. By the way, Karim was injured just in the Champions League, in Glasgow. But his teammates won 3-0 at Celtic, scoring in the 2nd half. And then they were able to put the squeeze on in the end and RB Leipzig, who just changed their mentor. In back-to-back clashes with the Pitmen they can get another playoff entry, or even guarantee the final 1st place.

Shakhtar Donetsk in 2022 lost the majority of the first team. The mentor also left - De Zerbi has already made his debut at Brighton. The Brazilians fled with Manor Solomon. It is good that at the same time there is at least a defensive bloc - it was traditionally "Ukrainian". And only on the left you need to change Ismaily. But still, the forced bet on the "locals" turned the "orange-blacks" into a nominal outsider of the quartet. Which, however, even helped: it seems that the crisis "RB Leipzig" underestimated the enemy, for which they paid with a home defeat 1-4. It was already much harder for the Pitmen in the formally home game against Celtic, but they managed to play 1-1. The brightest player in this clip was, of course, Mudryk. Against the Scots, Mikhail showed trump cards - speed, technique, composure, having converted one-on-one chance against goalkeeper into a goal.
For the third year in a row, the teams meet in the fall, in the group stage of the Champions League. And in 2020, Shakhtar surprised us by winning in Madrid with an experimental squad due to coronavirus. And then in Kyiv they lost Real Madrid. True, a year later Real did not lose points with the Ukrainian Brazilians. Bookmakers do not expect intrigue. Considering how the Galacticos are able to defend now, it is possible to use “no” in the line “both to score”.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – no.
