Real Madrid V/s Shaktar Donetsk
Rafael Benitez will play his first match as a coach for Real Madrid in the Champions League, the competition he won in 2005 with Liverpool.
Real Madrid, this weekend had a thrumping win over Espanyol which included Ronaldo's five and a biggie Benzema's goal.
Real Madrid key striker Cristiano Ronaldo is the man to watch in this tie. Ronaldo has equalled the record of 80 goals in the Champions League with Messi and maybe he will pass Messi too.
Shakhtar Donetsk qualified for the Champions League by beating Fenerbahce and Rapid Vienna and they have ended up in Group A with Real Madrid, PSG and Malmo.
It will be very difficult for the Ukrainian team to win against the Spanish Giants who won the La Decima two years ago.
Real Madrid could not pursue their Un Decima last year, but surely they would be trying to win it this year.
Mircea Lucescu's side reached the Quaterfinals in 2011/12, but this time it seems difficult to even qualify for Round of 16 with Spanish and French Giants PSG in the group.
