(Football news) With nine points from three games, the Catalan team leads Group H. Shakhtar, with three points from their first three games, is in third place. The Catalan team has been outstanding thus far.

Shakhtar lost 3-1 at home to Porto to begin their Group H campaign, but they bounced back to defeat Royal Antwerp 3-2 in their second sectional meeting at the beginning of October.

After losing 2-1 to Barcelona in their third sectional match on October 25, Marino Pusic’s team will have been happy with their performance. With three points from three games, they are now in third place, three points behind Porto in second place.

Although Shakhtar cannot be eliminated from the competition on Tuesday, the Ukrainian team is under a lot of pressure because a loss would put them in a very tough situation before their final two games.

Coming into this game, Pusic’s club is coming off a 1-0 victory over Dynamo Kyiv in the Ukrainian first division on Friday, which put them in third place in the standings with 24 points.

Although this match will take place in Hamburg, it is tough to classify this as a real home game considering Shakhtar has won three, drawn five, and lost seven of their prior home games against Spanish opposition.

Barcelona has placed third in its previous two group-stage Champions League competitions, and head coach Xavi has not been able to get his team into the competition’s knockout stages.

But in the event of an incredible upset, the Catalan squad will make it to this season’s round of 16. Barcelona can guarantee their advancement if they win this game, but even in the event that they lose on Tuesday night, they would still be in a great position.

With two straight victories against Porto and Shakhtar, as well as a 5-0 victory over Antwerp in their section opener, the La Liga champions lead Group H with nine points.
