Good evening! Sports Arena welcomes you to the online match of the group stage of the Champions League. Shakhtar plays Arsenal! The broadcast is hosted by Alexander Oleinik.
The main European club tournament is gaining momentum – the group stage is gradually beginning to acquire more and more intrigue. The head-to-head confrontation between the Gunners and the Pitmen will certainly prove to us what the ambitions of the teams of Marino Pusic and Mikel Arteta are.
Arsenal – Shakhtar: alignments
In the two starting rounds of the stage, Shakhtar scored one point, drawing with Bologna and losing to Atalanta. Arsenal have four points after two matches: a victory over PSG and a draw with Atalanta.
Over the weekend, Arsenal suffered their first defeat of the season, losing to Bournemouth in the English Championship. Shakhtar had three defeats at the start of the UPL season, but won the last two matches of the national championship.
Shakhtar meet Arsenal for the third time in the Champions League. So far the teams are equal: the Miners and the Gunners have two wins each. With one important caveat: Shakhtar won against Arsenal when the match no longer had tournament significance for the Londoners and was always the second match of the opposition. Now everything is different.
Arsenal is head and shoulders above the current Shakhtar: both in quality and level of squad, and in capabilities. The miners can only rely on character, luck and implementation, because the Gunners are not blameless in defense, having kept a clean sheet in four of the last 10 matches.

Before the match, the media took a comment from ex-Arsenal and Shakhtar forward Eduardo.
The Croatian football player of Brazilian origin admitted that he will support the Donetsk club.
Let us separately mention the words of midfielder Artem Bondarenko. Midfielder Gornyakov, describing the upcoming match with Arsenal, stated “the desire and attempts to surprise the opponent.”
Well. Let’s see.
The coach of the Donetsk team, Marino Pusic, said that the victory must be achieved in an “ideal way.” And there is no other way.
Daniil Sikan expressed himself no less flatteringly. The striker admitted that he considers Arsenal one of the best teams in the world.
Midfielder Mikel Merino did not lag behind Arteta in his words of support for the Donetsk club.
True, the phrase “we will receive them properly” sounds ambiguous, given that the meeting in London is incredibly important from a strategic point of view.
Mikel Arteta, the coach of the London team, spoke a lot before the match.
Here he talked about motivation for his players.
Here I mentioned the unity of the Miners with Ukraine in difficult times for our country.
And here I openly supported Alexander Zinchenko.
Vadim Skichko will commentate on this match on MEGOGO. By the way, an active serviceman of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will work at the reporting game directly from the center of events – with the Emirates in London.
We remind you of the standings. The miner has one point and “0” in the “goals scored” column.
Arsenal have gained four points in their previous two meetings.
