In their history, Shakhtar have successfully advanced from the UEFA Europa League(UEFA Cup) Round of 32 on six occasions.Earlier at this stage, they defeated the Hungarian Honved, the German Schalke 04 (twice), the French Nancy, the English Tottenham Hotspur and the Portuguese Benfica on aggregate.
