Beware of Shakhtar

Be careful with Shakhtar. We have played so many times that I even know how to place the h without looking.

A Ukrainian team, with a traditional Brazilian accent, which in some way (although they have beaten us a copule of times, that 20/21 season) I have grown fond of, also for being the epicenter of the war. They have been playing away from their local stadium for a few years now.

They come almost without brazilians, but more heroic than ever. The team has had to adapt to the harsh circumstances, and it's responding, so well are responding. Their most outstanding man has almost a legendary name: Mudryk. Named Mykhaylo, which is almost Luka in Ukrainian. 21 years old, left-handed attacker, to be reckoned with. In Leipzig they already remember him.

We already know, thanks to Xavi, that the Champions League is not won by the best, only Real Madrid. So go make 9/9 before playing Shakhtar again in Warsaw, unless Putin keeps collapsing and who knows then.

Let the sport speak.

Florentino, accompanied by Lunin, made us feel like a great club once again, having this detail that we have outlined.https://twitter.com/realmadriden/status/1576980399753945099
