Shakhtar Donetsk:

And as it turned out, the skipper has not been named in the Madrid squad for the match. After winning a hat-trick, from 2016 and 2018, Madrid have exited the Champions League in the last-16 stage in back-to-back campaigns. So, Zidane has his task cut out.

On the other hand, Shakhtar are unbeaten in five matches -- two wins and three draws -- in their domestic competition. And Luis Castro's side beat Lviv 5-1 before leaving for Spain.

The two teams have met twice before tonight's clash, with Madrid winning on both occasions, and the aggregated scores read 8-3. So, expect more goals. This is the first meeting between in five years since Madrid won 4-3 in a thriller.

Inter Milan and Borussia Monchengladbach are the other two teams in the group.
