This Wednesday for the fifth matchday of Group 'A' of the Champions League, Real Madrid will visit Shakhtar Donetsk from Ukraine in a match scheduled for 2:45 pm (Peruvian time).
Here comes Real Madrid!
The white team arrives to this match after being defeated 4-0 by Barcelona in the 'Spanish Clásico', that's why they hope to heal their wounds in this match that could bring news for 'Rafa' Benitez in case they don't succeed.
The Real Madrid coach has two confirmed absences for this match: Marcelo and Sergio Ramos, both due to injury. Benitez will count on Dani Carvajal and Pepe to replace them.
Real Madrid, if they win, would consolidate their first place in Group 'A'. 'Los Merengues' are leaders with 10 points, three more than PSG.
And Shakhtar Donetsk?
The Ukrainian team, with three points, shares the last place in the group with Mallmo from Sweden, so they urgently need to add points in order to aim for a possible qualification to the Europa League.
In the first leg match played at the Santiago Bernabéu, Real Madrid defeated Shakhtar Donetsk 4-0 with a hat-trick from Cristiano Ronaldo and one from Karin Benzema.
