Shakhtar is the only representative of Ukraine in the current Champions League. Only he and Zorya managed to get into the group stage of the European Cups of the new season. Luhansk players will play in the third most prestigious UEFA tournament – the Conference League.
In the status of the winner of the UPL, Shakhtar directly entered the group stage of the Champions League.

European cups have not been played in Hamburg for a long time, Shakhta wants to earn money and not play with empty stands. Shakhtar will play in the Champions League at one of the best German stadiums. The first EL final was held here, Klitschko defeated Haye, and the stadium has a cemetery for local fans.
Matches “Hamburg” in the second Bundesliga collect 57 thousand in the stands, and the team will once again try to return to the elite.
