The Ukrainian club won a place in the group stage of the Champions League – ŠPORT.SK without a fight

today 11:59 | The footballers of the Ukrainian Shakhtar Donetsk will present themselves in the next edition of the Champions League in the group part. The elimination of the Spanish team Villarreal CF in the semifinals of LM 2021/2022 with the English FC Liverpool won the final. The fact that the European Football Union (UEFA) eliminated Russian clubs from its competitions for the next year also helped the Ukrainians, and Ukraine thus moved up the country’s list. As the LM team will no longer win the title, which will not get into the competition through the domestic league competition, the roof body can move the reserved seat further for the team from the country without the security of the group part. And that fell for the champion of the twelfth country in the evaluation – Ukrainian Shakhtar Donetsk. UEFA should confirm this in the coming days or weeks. The security of the group part can bring Shakhtar a considerable financial injection. Due to the military conflict that the Russians unleashed on Ukrainian territory at the end of February with the help of Belarusians, the footballers of the said team from Ukraine did not complete the competition duel for several months. Shakhtar is currently traveling across Europe and playing charity fights with various opponents. Shakhtar Donetsk has been in “exile” for more than eight years, so the current situation is not exceptional for him. If he succeeds in LM 2022/2023, he can earn tens of millions of euros. Ukraine also has a second place in LM, but Dynamo Kyiv will start in the competition in the 2nd qualifying round. They had to end the highest Ukrainian football competition prematurely for the mentioned war. At the time of the break, Shakhtar was the league leader ahead of Dynamo. At present, it is a big unknown which staff will manage to put together Shakhtar for the next season. The question mark also hangs over where the club will train and play its home matches.
