Online broadcast of the match Barcelona – Shakhtar live in text format

Good evening! Sport Arena welcomes you to the online match of the group stage of the Champions League. Barcelona hosts Shakhtar! The broadcast is hosted by Alexander Tsvirk.
The bloodless grandee of world football against the daring champion of Ukraine in his first match under the leadership of a new coach.
Barcelona – Shakhtar: layouts
Barcelona is the leader of Quartet H. Xavi’s team took 6 points in the two opening rounds, and has not conceded yet. The Catalan coach insisted on the desire to take maximum points by the equator of the group stage, but at the same time warned everyone against underestimating the opponent, “a dynamic and strong team.”
At the start of the tournament, the miner lost to Porto (1:3) without any special options, after which, in an incredibly dramatic style, they took three points from Antwerp (3:2). The Belgian comeback was the last match under the leadership of Patrick van Leeuwen. On October 16, the club parted ways with the Dutchman and temporarily appointed sporting director Darijo Srna to this position. Under the leadership of the Croatian, the Miners beat LNZ in the 11th round of the UPL (3:0).
On the eve of today’s meeting, October 24, Shakhtar introduced a new head coach. It was Croatian-Bosnian specialist Marino Pusic, who previously worked as an assistant to Feyenoord coach Arne Slot.
Barcelona – Shakhtar: footage
Barcelona will appear before the champion of Ukraine with a fairly drained squad. The roster for the match included only 20 players, including three goalkeepers. Several important players are missing due to injury: defenders Jules Kounde and Sergi Roberto, midfielders Pedri and Frenkie de Jong, attacking players Rafinha and Robert Lewanldowski. In addition, the disqualified Gavi will not help the Catalan grandee.
Pusic has almost all the strongest performers at his disposal, except for the long-injured Lassina Traore and Ivan Petryak. The Orange-and-Blacks’ roster for the reporting match included defender Valery Bondar, who missed the start of the season due to a broken collarbone. Also on the list of players are forward Daniil Sikan and midfielder Georgy Sudakov.
Referee of the match Barcelona – Shakhtar
The match will be judged by the Slovak team of referees led by Ivan Kruzlyak. The assistants on the lines will be Branislav Hancko and Jan Pozor. The fourth judge is Peter Kralovich. Poles Tomasz Kwiatkowski and Piotr Lasyk will work in the VAR studio.
39-year-old Kruzljak has already worked in the group stage of the Champions League this season. Under him, the supposed underdog beat a famous top-league giant away from home – we are talking about the match between Manchester United and Galatasaray (2:3). In that game, the Slovak showed 5 yellow and one red card, and awarded one penalty.
This referee had previously met with Shakhtar five times. Under him, the Miners first won three victories (over Istanbul Basaksehir, Hoffenheim and Wolfsburg), then lost to Real Madrid in last year’s Champions League (1:2), and finally drew with Feyenoord in June this year. At that match, Marino Pusic worked at the headquarters of the Dutch club.
Pre-match quotes

It was great that Zubkov connected Sudakov to the attack, but he shot into nowhere.
Oh no no no. Shakhtar’s quick attack ended in vain – Sudakov fell on Kryskiv’s heel. At the second pace, Georgy hit from afar – very inaccurately.
Dangerous cast of Yamal – Bondar discharged.
Oh! Riznyk released the ball after a simple shot from Alonso, but Ferran failed to finish.
Gundogan responded with a similar dangerous cross to Konopla.
Wow! Hemp crossed dangerously, but the ball whistled aimlessly through the goalkeeper. Bondarenko and Azarov immediately tried to shoot from afar, but both attempts were blocked.
There are no replacements yet.
Second half!

You can bet that Barcelona will score the third goal. 1.35. The odds for the home team to win with a handicap (-3.0) 1.77. Shakhtar will score – offer for 3.35.
Kruzlyak’s whistle. Let’s rest. 2:0.
Shakhtar’s attack could have led to something, but Kryskiv was unable to accurately pass into the penalty area.
The first yellow one! The first goal scorer received it Ferran – for a very careless tackle on Hemp.
It was very close to defeat! But twice the visiting players successfully rushed under the blows – Ferran and Fermin.
Nine from the bar. Having previously beaten Azarov. This debut goal of 20-year-old Fermin Lopez in the Champions League!
Oooh, looks like Barcelona are closing the game. Attack from the center, and Fermin shoots into the top corner with a superb shot from the penalty area. 2:0!!!
Gundogan hit Bondarenko on the leg painfully. The judge was loyal to the German.
The replay showed that Fermina was left in the game by Azarov. A question of a couple of decimeters…
Barcelona have won each of their last three games in the Champions League, having previously won just one of their first seven matches under Xavi, and can start their Queche/Champions League campaign for the first time with three wins and three clean sheets.
A cruel failure of the Miners’ defense, kilometers of emptiness were around Fermin, and no one could cover Torres later.
Alas for Shakhtar, the goal was counted. There was no offside. Ferran opens the scoring – 1:0!!!
Great cast Gundogan on Ferminahe hit the bar, Ferran finished off without resistance. VAR checks the episode…
Shakhtar concedes… But Kruzljak flags offside!
But they allowed Cancel to get all the way to the goalkeeper’s area. The Portuguese missed Riznyk with a shot into the near corner!
More than half the half has already passed. The miner has more or less settled down and hasn’t allowed the favorite to create anything serious for a long time.
However, No. 8 returned to the field. From the outside, everything seems to be fine.
Problems with Kryskiva! Dmitry sat down on the lawn. It looks like there will be a replacement.
Torres’ wall with Felix, but Riznyk rushed to the ball in time, ahead of Ferran.
Bondarenko hit from outside the penalty area! I went straight to Araujo.
Everything was calm on the field in the last minutes. Barcelona does not insist on anything, it is accumulating strength.
Wow, there was even a blow! Zubkov shifted and lightly sent the ball to Ter Stegen.
The Blaugranas have slowed down the pace, the Pitmen are trying to hold the ball a little.
The miner finally crossed the center of the field, but quickly lost the ball.
Momentish! Gornyak’s mistake in their own penalty area, Fermin shot from close range – Riznyk reacted!!!
The hosts have already sent in two corners. After the second, Romeu hit – not dangerous.
It was dangerous! Gundogan passed three, but Matvienko backed up again.
Barcelona dominates. Now Yamal penetrated into the penalty area, Mativenko interrupted the cross.
Let’s start!!!
In his first match as Shakhtar head coach Marino Pusic there were no personnel surprises. At the start – all the strongest at the moment. Including Valery Bondar in the center of defense Irakli Azarov left, Artema Bondarenko in the middle of the field and Dmitry Kryskiv in the “false winger” position.
Even despite the extremely limited roster, Javi made three changes after the Examples match won against Athletic (1:0). One of them is forced: disqualified Gavi formally replaced by 16-year-old winger Lamin Yamal. Also instead of defenders Andreas Christensen And Alejandro Balde appeared Ronald Araujo And Marcos Alonso.
Lineups!!!
Barcelona (4-3-3): Ter Stegen – Cancelo, Araujo, Martinez, Alonso – Fermin, Romeu, Gundogan – Lamin Yamal, Ferran Torres, Felix
Shakhtar (4-1-4-1): Riznyk – Hemp, Bondar, Matvienko, Azarov – Stepanenko – Zubkov, Bondarenko, Sudakov, Kryskiv – Sikan
