Shakhtar Donetsk vs Atalanta

Shakhtar Donetsk reaches this challenge with 6 points and a destiny totally in their own hands. The two consecutive draws against Dinamo Zagreb, 2-2 in Ukraine and 3-3 in Croatia, plus the one in the last round for Manchester City, put Luis Castro’s team in an excellent position. In fact with a victory the Ukrainians would be arithmetically in the second round without having to worry about the result of Dinamo at 5 points at present.

At an altitude of 4, Gian Piero Gasperini’s Atalanta is instead back in the race thanks to his 1-1 streak with City and then, above all, thanks to Meazza’s 2-0 defeat to Dinamo Zagreb with Muriel’s goals on penalty in the first half and Gomez at the beginning of recovery with a splendid diagonal. But that’s not enough, because now the orobics are only called to win to hope for qualification for the knockout stages, but also to hope that Dinamo Zagreb will not beat Guardiola’s Citizens.
