Real Madrid welcomes Shakhtar Donetsk this Wednesday, October 5 at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, in the third matchday of the Champions League.

Real Madrid wants to leave the qualification on track with the visit to the Bernabeu of Shakhtar, a frequent rival in the previous two group stages of the Champions League, whom in 2021 they beat in both games, to avenge the pair of defeats in 2020, so in the third round will come the tiebreaker.

Carlo Ancelotti will already count on Karim Benzema, who reappeared at the weekend against Osasuna and missed a penalty that cost him the victory and the lead in LaLiga, in a revenge for the French striker, who hopes to score to stay in the competition for the third place of the top scorers of the competition, which currently belongs to Poland's Robert Lewandowski.

During the week Lionel Messi and Xavi Hernandez agreed that the Champions League is not always won by the best team, in a dart at Madrid, after their exploits against PSG, Chelsea and Manchester City, so Carletto came out and said that the Orejona is won by the best team.

"I always want to win the Champions League, LaLiga is very important, but the Champions League is the most important competition in soccer and winning it means a lot. They are different, a competition of 38 matches to one of many fewer that has 180-minute knockout rounds where small details are very important and that is not luck or bad luck," Ancelotti said.

Here you will find details of the line-ups of both teams, what time they play and how you can watch live on TV and streaming.
