Text report of the second match of the “miners” in the updated draw of the main European Cup.
On Wednesday, October 2, Donetsk Shakhtar will play against Italian Atalanta in the match of the second round of the main stage of the Champions League of the 2024/25 season.
Due to the full-scale war of aggression that the Russian occupiers continue to wage against Ukraine, the match, nominally home for the Miners, will take place at the Veltins Arena in Gelsenkirchen, Germany. The match will start at 19:45 Kyiv time.
In the updated Champions League format, 36 clubs compete in a single league, where they will play against eight different opponents (four home and four away matches).
In the first round of the most prestigious European tournament, Shakhtar played a draw against Italian Bologna (0:0), and Atalanta shared the points with London Arsenal (0:0).
The eight best teams of the main stage of the Champions League will reach the 1/8 finals. The clubs that take 9th to 24th places in the overall standings will play paired play-off matches for a place in the 1/8 finals. The rest will finish their performances in European competitions.
