True, the last time the white-blues defeated the Catalans was in the last century
Victory Shakhtar over Barcelona in the match of the fourth round of the group stage of the Champions League of the 2023/2024 season became for the Miners third in the history of the confrontation with the Spanish grandee. According to this indicator, the Donetsk team is equal to Dynamo. True, there is one important nuance: if Shakhtar achieved all its victories over Barcelona in the 21st centurythen the white and blue beat the Catalans in the 20th.
Dynamo’s last victory over Barcelona dates back to November 1997, when the white-blues beat the Catalans at the Camp Nou with a hat-trick from Andrey Shevchenko and a goal from Sergei Rebrov. Before this, the Kievans beat Barca in October of the same 1997 (3:0 – in Kyiv) and in September 1993 (also at home – 3:1).
In total, in 14 matches with Barca, Dynamo has three wins, a draw and a defeat. In the confrontation with the Catalans, Shakhtar had the same three wins and a draw, but seven defeats. It is noteworthy that Barcelona, apart from Shakhtar and Dynamo, did not play any more with Ukrainian clubs (17 wins, two draws and six losses).
In the 2023/2024 Champions League, Shakhtar are third in Group H with six points after four rounds, behind Porto in additional indicators. In the next round, the Miners will host Antwerp, the match will take place on November 28.
