On February 21, Shakhtar will meet with Roma (ITA) in the Champions League Round of 16 first leg

Fitness, pitch and competition
 
Having rested one day after the victory over Chornomorets, the players began preparing for the encounter with the Romans. The morning session started with individual training in the fitness centre, then the team moved to the pitch, where they fully focussed on their tactic. Those who took part in the game vs the Odesa outfit, have trained in the general group for 60 minutes, later having a recovery session. For the rest, they organised a mini-tournament across one third of the pitch.
