Ukraine have promoted two teams to the Champions League group, the last time it happened five years ago, in the 2015/16 season. Since then we have become used to the failures of our vice-champion in qualifying. But this time it is different.
Now a logical question arises: what’s next? Will our flagships be able to fight their way out of the group to the playoffs? The answer depends largely on the drawing that will take place on October 1.
The baskets will finally be formed after the three games of today’s playoff round, but the positions of the Ukrainian teams will not change. Dynamo will be in the third basket, Shakhtar in the second. The view of the first two baskets, by the way, is already final.
First basket:
“Real”;
“Liverpool”;
Juventus;
Bayern Munich;
PSG;
Porto;
Seville;
“Zenith”.
Second basket:
“Barcelona”;
Athletic
City of Manchester;
“Manchester United”;
Borussia D;
Chelsea;
“Miner”;
Ajax.
Third basket:
Dynamo K;
Leipzig;
“Bury”;
Lazio;
Olympiacos;
“Atalanta”.
Salzburg / if Maccabi TA passes (if not, then Lokomotiv);
Krasnodar / if PAOK passes (if not, then Lokomotiv or Marseille, if Salzburg does not pass at the same time).
Fourth basket:
“Locomotive”; ?
“Marseilles”; ?
“Witches”;
“Slavia” / “Middleton”;
Borussia M;
“Istanbul”;
“Rennes”;
“Ferencvaros”.
Restrictions for Dynamo – Zenit from the first basket, Shakhtar – from the second, Lokomotiv – from the fourth.
For “Dynamo” the following option is possible:
- Porto;
- Ajax;
- “Dynamo;
- “Witches”;
And this is also possible:
- “Liverpool”;
- “Barcelona”;
- Dynamo K;
- “Borussia” M.
Restrictions for Shakhtar – Zenit from the first basket, Lokomotiv / Krasnodar (if he passes) from the third / fourth, Dynamo K from the third.
For Shakhtar, the following option is possible:
- Seville;
- “Miner”;
- Olympiacos;
- “Istanbul”.
And this is also possible:
- Bayern Munich;
- “Miner”;
- “Bury;
- “Marseilles”.
It depends a lot on the draw. A lot of things. Shakhtar are more likely to have more or less comparable opponents in their class than Dynamo.
