For obvious reasons, I probably know more about Shakhtar than anyone else in this forum, I will say that in terms of game and form, Shakhtar is stronger than we are now. Our trump card is our star players, who should have weight in such matches.
In general, Shakhtar has a very strong scouting service, which for the past 15 years has been looking for promising Brazilians and players in the post-Soviet space such as Darijo Srna, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Razvan Rat, etc., and such a strategy brings results, at the moment, and for the last 15 years it is the best club in Eastern Europe, the main weapon is the Brazilians who can be divided into 3 generations:
1. Matuzalém, Fernandinho, Jádson, Willian.
2. Alex Teixeira, Douglas Costa, Taison, Fred, Marlos.
And the last one you don't know yet, but it's going to come out in the next couple of years.
3. Dodô, Tetê, Manor Solomon (Israel), Maycon, Marcos Antônio.
There is now a change of generations, of Shakhtar's best players at the moment I would single out - Dodô as they are already interested in Bayern Munich, also Mykola Matvienko, who negotiated with the Arsenal London, Alan Patrick and Marlos are in very good shape.
