Well-known Ukrainian journalist Artem Frankov has commented on the results of yesterday's match of the 3rd round of the Champions League group stage between Spanish Barcelona and Shakhtar Donetsk (2-1).
"I don't understand one thing: why did many people think that Barça had to take out Shakhtar? The Catalans had the entire first team knocked out - Pedri, Gavi, Lewandowski, De Jong, Kunde, Sergi Roberto! Does anyone even go into such details before matches, or does anyone watch it just as it is, off the wheel, off the reel and off the cuff?!
For the first time in three years Barça won two consecutive home matches in the Champions League, congratulations," Frankov wrote on his Facebook page.
