"Barcelona" is often referred to as the main favorite to win the Champions League. The club has already shown its ambitions by beating London's "Arsenal" in the round of 16, and now they will have to fight against the "black stallion" - Donetsk's "Shakhtar". The first match in Barcelona, where the Ukrainians achieved a memorable victory in the 2008-2009 season, will take place on April 6, with the return leg in Donetsk on April 13. "We know "Shakhtar", and they know us," said "Barcelona" coach Pep Guardiola. "They are a physically strong team with experienced players." The specialist noted that it will not be easy to play the return leg away: "This fact is advantageous for the opponents. However, spells are good." Meanwhile, one of the leaders of "Shakhtar", Sergey Palkin, exuded optimism and asked: "If we don't beat the "Barcelona" team, who will? "The Catalans are favorites of the Champions League. However, anything can happen. You should never give up before stepping onto the field. We look at this challenge with a positive attitude."
