Shakhtar-Chelsea 2:1

[rurikbird]

Did anybody else watch this game? Chelsea were destroyed. Only the scoreline is flattering, but in truth it was closer to 3:0 than 2:1.

I watched the extended highlights and Shakhtar looked by far the better team.

It looks like they'll pip either Juve or Chelsea for the next stage unless of course they'd stumble in Denmark too as the Italians did last night.

I know the score mate so I'll probably watch Ajax v Citeh instead...

Willian was excellent. Shakhtar have a very good team, would be fun if they qualified instead of Chelsea.

Willian was excellent. Shakhtar have a very good team, would be fun if they qualified instead of Chelsea.

If they qualify, it will probably be in the place of Juve, who have drawn all 3 of their games so far. It's an interesting group, and now it seems even more "group of death" than the one with Citeh and Madrid.

Willian was criticized by some fans after this match for being in a "shopping window mode" (i.e. trying to showcase his skills to the detriment of the team). Not sure if it's fair. I thought all Shakhtar players had a fantastic game. Fernandinho, for one, seemed a class above Ramires and people are now questioning why Ramires is given preference in the Brazil national team. Striker Luis Adriano had a great game too.
