Donetsk "Shakhtar" will hold another match of the group round of the Champions League - the opponent of "miners" will be "Real" Madrid. The former striker of the "orange and black" Viktor Grachov talked about what awaits Igor Jovichevich's wards at the "Santiago Bernabeu".

It is clear that with such a metro of the coaching shop as Carlo Ancelotti, jokes are bad. The Italian coach perfectly understands that not so long ago Madrid underestimated the "miners" - this resulted in a pitiful result for them. Now "Real" does not want to step on the same rake. But from a review of how Shakhtar is able to act on counterattacks, I assume without any irony that the Donetsk people can make a ruckus.
At the same time, there is a probability of a crushing defeat of the Ukrainian team. Everything depends on how the "miners" play. It is important that Igor Jovichevich's wards approach this confrontation in a good mood. Even in the Champions League, after two rounds, Shakhtar looks like one of the favorites of its group, having four points to its credit.
The advantage of "Real" is that the rotation of the composition can be painless for them. On the other hand, "orange and black" do not have such an opportunity.
Prediction for the match? I already said that Shakhtar can take points in Madrid. This will be an unexpected, but at the same time a pleasant result for Ukrainian fans.
A draw will be a bit of a sensation, it would be nice to grab fortune by the tail. I will assume that the match will end with a score of 1:1," Grachev said.
