"Shakhtar" excluding Brazilians not afraid to go to Ukraine

Before the Champions League knockout match, Bayern captain Philipp Lahm is most afraid not of the difficult situation in Ukraine, but of the Brazilian Shakhtar.

Due to terrorist attacks and the occupied territory of Donetsk, the club is forced to play their home matches in Lviv.

"The match was moved to the western part of the country and I think everything is coordinated in such a way that nothing bad will happen.

I am not afraid to play there. We need to achieve a good result in Ukraine, but I am not worried about the match in Munich.

Of course, Shakhtar is a strong opponent, as in this stage of the Champions League there are no weak teams.

The Donetsk team has been playing together for a long time, and with many Brazilians in the lineup, they can demonstrate very technical football," Lahm said.

Bayern is heading to Ukraine in good spirits - over the weekend, they even crushed Hamburg 8-0 in the Bundesliga.
