Well-known Russian journalist Alexei Andronov spoke about the prospects of Dynamo Kyiv in the Champions League qualification.
Alexey Andronov“I know there is more money in the Champions League. Much. But to get past Dynamo this Benfica - I have no idea how.
It seems to me that the Europa League is more necessary than Dynamo in all aspects. And they will score more points, and everything is simpler in general. I don't envy Shakhtar in the Champions League - they will suffer..." Andronov wrote on social Facebook.
Recall that now Dynamo is playing in the 3rd qualifying round of the Champions League, where it competes with the Austrian Sturm. The first match between the rivals ended with the victory of the Ukrainian team with a score of 1:0. The return match will be held in Austria.
In case of successfully overcoming the barrier in the form of "Sturm", in the playoff round of the Champions League qualification, Dynamo will compete for a ticket to the group stage of the tournament in a two-legged confrontation with the winner of the pair Benfica (Portugal) - Midtjylland (Herning, Denmark) . The first meeting of these teams ended with the victory of the Portuguese team with a score of 4:1. In case of failure in the 3rd qualifying round or in the playoff round, Dynamo will continue to fight in the group stage of the Europa League.
