Real Madrid and Shakhtar Donetsk have met in the UEFA Champions League group stage for the third consecutive season. It’s only the fifth group stage match in three seasons, and the first since Manchester City vs. Shakhtar in 2017-18 and 2019-20. Real Madrid last played in the group stage three seasons in a row, against Ajax
Real Madrid has won four of their six UEFA Champions League group stage meetings against Shakhtar Donetsk, winning both games in 2015-16 and 2021-22 but losing both in 2020-21. Shakhtar Donetsk defeated Real Madrid at the Alfredo Di Stéfano stadium in the 2020-21 UEFA Champions League group stage. Only four teams in the competition have won twice at Real Madrid: Ajax, Bayern München, Juventus, and Roma.
Real Madrid has won each of their last six games in the UEFA Champions League group stage, scoring 17 goals and conceding only one. This is their longest winning streak in the competition’s group stage from November 2013 to September 2015, when they won 10 in a row. Real Madrid has been winning against Shakhtar Donetsk pretty frequently looking at the previous matches. Will this match be the same as before with Madrid taking the win or are Shakhtar Donetsk ready to finally play a real game
