Shakhtar Donetsk:

Shakhtar will hope to have Mykola Matvienko available for the contest. The centre-back missed out against Veres at the weekend due to a head injury. Fernando and Junior Moraes will both be unavailable for the home side. As a result, there could be a spot in a wide area for Marlos.

Zinedine Zidane scored a majestic left-footed volley to almost secure the victory. But, Leverkusen were giving their everything to take the game further. It took late heroics from Iker Casillas, who was subbed on for an injured Cesar Sanchez to win the La Novena for Real Madrid.

The great Carlo Ancelotti was managing Los Blancos then, and this was a thriller until the first ninety minutes of the game.
