Having started yesterday in the group stage of this season's Champions League, Shakhtar Donetsk caught up with Dynamo Kyiv in terms of the number of appearances in the main draw of this tournament.
This is the Pitmen's 18th start in the Champions League group stage, which is the same number of appearances Dynamo Kyiv have made at this stage of the tournament (1994/1995, 1997/1998 - 2004/2005, 2006/2007 - 2008/2009, 2009/2010, 2011/2012, 2012/2013, 2015/2016, 2020/2021, 2012/2022).
It should be noted that Dynamo took part in the group stage of the main European Cup tournament in the season-1991/92, but then it was still held as the European Champions Cup.
