Uefa Champions League UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE - 2020/21 SEASON MATCH PRESS KITS NSK Olimpiyskiy - Kyiv Tuesday 1 December 2020 18.55CET (19.55 local time) FC Shakhtar Donetsk Group B - Matchday 5 Real Madrid CF Last updated 30/11/2020 03:33CET UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE OFFICIAL SPONSORS Match background 2 Legend 5 1 FC Shakhtar Donetsk - Real Madrid CF Tuesday 1 December 2020 - 18.55CET (19.55 local time) Match press kit NSK Olimpiyskiy, Kyiv Match background Shakhtar Donetsk sprang a major surprise at Real Madrid on Matchday 1 and will look to repeat the trick in what is a potentially pivotal Group B game in Ukraine. • Shakhtar kicked off the 2020/21 UEFA Champions League with a famous victory in Spain, establishing a 3-0 half- time lead thanks to Tetê, a Raphaël Varane own goal and Manor Solomon and holding on despite second-half strikes from Luka Modrić and Vinícius Júnior. • The Donetsk club have taken only one point from their three subsequent fixtures, however, and sit third in the standings, two points ahead of Internazionale but three behind Madrid, with Borussia Mönchengladbach a point further ahead; an away win in Kyiv would therefore secure Madrid's place in the last 16. Previous meetings • The sides' only fixtures before Matchday 1 came in the 2015/16 group stage, Madrid winning 4-0 at home and 4-3 away. Karim Benzema opened the scoring at the Santiago Bernabéu, with Modrić and Dani Carvajal both on target in Lviv; Madrid's other five goals across the two games all came from Cristiano Ronaldo, Dentinho scoring one of Shakhtar's goals. • Madrid finished first in the section on 16 points, with Shakhtar third having picked up just three. Zinédine Zidane's side went on to claim the club's 11th European Cup that season. Form guide Shakhtar • The Pitmen have not scored since that win in Madrid, being held 0-0 at home by Inter in their second fixture before a 6-0 defeat against Mönchengladbach that was their record home loss in UEFA club competition. They went down 4-0 in Germany last time out, ending their six-match unbeaten away run in Europe (W3 D3). • Shakhtar qualified as winners of the Ukrainian league, claiming the title for the 13th time – and fourth in a row – in 2019/20. • UEFA Champions League quarter-finalists in 2010/11, Shakhtar are in the group stage for the 15th time and have progressed no further on ten of the previous 14 occasions, including the last two. • Shakhtar finished third in their section in 2019/20, a 3-0 Matchday 6 defeat at home to Atalanta sending them into the UEFA Europa League. The Donetsk outfit picked up six points in last season's group stage to finish behind Manchester City and the Italian club. • Luís Castro's side went on to beat Benfica (2-1 h, 3-3 a) and Wolfsburg (2-1 a, 3-0 h) over two legs in the UEFA Europa League round of 32 and 16 respectively before defeating Basel 4-1 in a one-off quarter-final in Gelsenkirchen, but Inter proved too strong in their semi-final, running out 5-0 winners. • Despite their opening victory in Madrid, Shakhtar have won only three of their last 17 UEFA Champions League matches (D7 L7). • A 2-1 victory against Benfica in last season's UEFA Europa League round of 32 first leg ended Shakhtar's seven- game winless run in home European fixtures (D4 L3), and is one of only two wins in their last 11 home matches (D5 L4), though they won four in a row prior to that sequence – all in the 2017/18 UEFA Champions League. • The Donetsk club's home record in last season's UEFA Champions League group stage was D1 L2, with those two losses, against Manchester City and Atalanta, both by a 0-3 scoreline. This season's results have extended their winless home run in the competition to eight matches (D4 L4), since a 2-1 victory against Roma in the 2017/18 round of 16 first leg – a tie they went on to lose on away goals. • The win in Madrid was only Shakhtar's sixth in their 26 meetings with Spanish clubs (D6 L14), and their fourth away win in their last eight visits. • Shakhtar have won only two of their 12 home games against Liga visitors (D4 L6), most recently going down 2-0 after extra time against Celta Vigo in the 2016/17 UEFA Europa League round of 32 second leg (1-2 aggregate) to make it three defeats in their last four home matches against Spanish sides (D1). Real Madrid • Madrid took only one point from their first two Group B games; they looked set for a fourth consecutive European defeat for the first time in their history when they trailed 2-0 at Mönchengladbach in their second fixture, but late goals from Benzema (87) and Casemiro (90+3) came to their rescue. Zidane's side then recorded their first win with a 3-2 defeat of Inter in Madrid before a 2-0 victory in Milan. • Spanish champions for a record-extending 34th time in 2019/20, this is Madrid's 25th UEFA Champions League 2 FC Shakhtar Donetsk - Real Madrid CF Tuesday 1 December 2020 - 18.55CET (19.55 local time) Match press kit NSK Olimpiyskiy, Kyiv campaign – a joint record along with Barcelona. They have qualified for the knockout rounds in all of their 25 seasons, also a competition best. • This is the 13-time champions' 51st European Cup campaign, more than any other side. • Madrid have finished second in their group three times in the last four seasons. • In 2019/20, Zidane's side were runners-up in their section behind eventual finalists Paris Saint-Germain, finishing on 11 points, five fewer than Paris. Their campaign came to an end in the round of 16 as they lost 2-1 home and away to Manchester City. • Having reached the semi-finals or better for eight successive seasons between 2010/11 and 2017/18, Madrid have therefore lost in the last 16 in each of the last two campaigns, bowing out against Ajax in 2018/19. • Matchday 4 was only Madrid's third win in their last eight UEFA Champions League matches (D2 L3). They have lost six of their last 15 (W6 D3). • The Spanish side have won 17 of their last 28 European away matches, losing six. • Benzema's goal on Matchday 2 means he has matched Lionel Messi's record of scoring in 16 successive UEFA Champions League campaigns. • Madrid have won only two of their seven away games against Ukrainian clubs (D4 L1), the most recent trip that 2015 victory at Shakhtar. • The Spanish side have scored 17 goals in their last five games against Ukrainian clubs, and have found the net at least twice in eight of their last nine games against teams from the country. Links and trivia • Yevhen Konoplyanka was a Sevilla player between 2015 and 2016, making six appearances in the club's 2015/16 UEFA Europa League triumph in his sole full season, although he was an unused substitute in the final win against Liverpool. He came on in defeats by Barcelona in both the Copa del Rey final (0-2) and the UEFA Super Cup (4-5), scoring the late equaliser that took the latter into extra time. • Konoplyanka also scored a penalty in Sevilla's 3-2 extra-time defeat by Madrid in the 2016 UEFA Super Cup. He had played 90 minutes of the Andalusian club's 3-2 home Liga win against Madrid on 8 November 2015. • Madrid's Ukrainian goalkeeper Andriy Lunin has played for Metalist Kharkiv youth (2012–15), Dnipro (2015–17) and Zorya (2017/18) in his homeland. He faced Shakhtar seven times with Dnipro and Zorya, recording one win and six defeats and conceding 16 goals. • Sergio Ramos scored twice past Andriy Pyatov in Spain's 4-0 UEFA Nations League victory against Ukraine on 6 September. • Pyatov has also been beaten by Benzema (France 3-0 Ukraine, 2014 FIFA World Cup play-offs) and Modrić (Croatia 2-2 Ukraine, 2010 World Cup qualifying). • Have played together: Oleksii Shevchenko & Andriy Lunin (Zorya 2017/18) Marquinhos Cipriano, Vitão, Tetê & Rodrygo (Brazil Under-20s) Marquinhos Cipriano, Vitão & Vinícius Júnior (Brazil U20s) Alan Patrick & Casemiro (Brazil U20s) Dodô & Éder Militão (Brazil U17s) • International team-mates: Andriy Pyatov, Serhiy Kryvtsov, Taras Stepanenko, Viktor Kovalenko, Marlos, Mykola Matviyenko, Yevhen Konoplyanka, Serhiy Bolbat, Júnior Moraes, Valeriy Bondar & Andriy Lunin (Ukraine) Taison & Marcelo, Casemiro (Brazil) Latest news Shakhtar • On 25 August Shakhtar lost 3-1 to Dynamo Kyiv in the 2020 Ukrainian Super Cup. It was their only loss in all competitions (W4 D5) until they were overwhelmed by Mönchengladbach on Matchday 4. • On 8 November Shakhtar won 3-0 against Dynamo to close the gap between them and the Kyiv side to just one point at the top of the Ukrainian Premier League, although a 1-1 draw at home to Olexandriya on 21 November, a match in which Shakhtar played almost an hour with ten men following Júnior Moraes' 31st-minute red card, meant the gap went back up to three points. • Shakhtar maintained that distance to Dynamo with a 1-0 win at Dnipro on Saturday, Tetê scoring a late winner. 3 FC Shakhtar Donetsk - Real Madrid CF Tuesday 1 December 2020 - 18.55CET (19.55 local time) Match press kit NSK Olimpiyskiy, Kyiv • Serhiy Kryvtsov, whose last appearance had come on 27 September due to injury and illness, returned to action in Ukraine's 2-0 friendly loss to Poland on 11 November.

  • The Downfall of Real Madrid Side-Lining Keylor Navas 1. The
    The Downfall of Real Madrid Side-lining Keylor Navas Because of his sharp reflexes he was key player on their more triumphant campaigns. The unjustifiable reason behind him being on the bench is that they are persistent on giving Thibaut Courtois more and more second chances, despite his failure to replicate Keylor Navas' key saves and lead Real Madrid to the silverware that is needed to bring the team back to what it once was. 1. The Constant Search For a Striker That Fits Despite buying who was arguably the Premier League’s best striker, Eden Hazard, they cannot find a striker that fits or replaces, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner, Ronaldo. The replacement, Hazard, has been dubbed the second worst Galactico by Marca, after the biggest flop in history, Michael Owen. 2. Confidence With the departure of Ronaldo and Zidane prior to last season the team’s morale has gone down and the once great team has started to look fragile. Then the moment that all Real Madrid fans were waiting for happened. Zidane came back but now with the lack of budget to go into depth after the signing of the flop Eden Hazard means that the deluded men behind Los Blanco’s think that Zidane, one of the most successful mangers in the history of football should leave the club as they have nothing else to blame it on So, what does everybody have to say about it? • 'Success made us lose our intensity': Real Madrid president Florentino Perez claims their own triumphs is the reason behind the current downfall • And without any European success this season and the last have been.

  • Análise De Centralidade Da Equipe Do Real Madrid Nos Jogos Decisivos Da Uefa Champions League 2015-2016
    Simpósio de Engenharia de Produção Universidade Federal de Goiás – Regional Catalão 09 a 11 de agosto, Catalão, Goiás, Brasil ANÁLISE DE CENTRALIDADE DA EQUIPE DO REAL MADRID NOS JOGOS DECISIVOS DA UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE 2015-2016 Fernando Paes Barreto Machado, UFF, [email protected] Eduardo Uchoa Barboza, UFF, [email protected] Resumo: O futebol se tornou muito mais que um esporte e, hoje, figura como um dos maiores mercados em termos de movimentação financeira em todo mundo. A Europa continua sendo o principal palco das competições que mais atraem investimentos e público. Neste universo, indicadores e estatísticas são cada vez mais utilizados para nortear a tomada de decisões. Apesar do volume de informações existentes, pouco se discute a respeito da centralidade dos jogadores para a equipe. Dessa forma, este artigo visa compreender melhor, por meio de análises, a centralidade da equipe do Real Madrid nos jogos decisivos da UEFA Champions League 2015- 2016. Para isso, foram coletadas, no site da UEFA, as Redes de Passes dos sete jogos que são escopo deste estudo, ou seja, das oitavas até a final. Por meio do software UCINET, essas matrizes foram simetrizadas e, posteriormente, analisadas segundo três medidas de centralidade: grau, autovetor e intermediação de fluxo. Palavras-chave: Teoria dos Grafos, Centralidade, Futebol 1. INTRODUÇÃO O mercado do futebol vem consolidando ao longo dos últimos anos sua capacidade de movimentar um grande volume de recursos financeiros, principalmente no que se refere à propaganda e transferências de jogadores (PLUMLEY e FLINT, 2015). Apesar do crescimento do mercado americano, chinês e do Oriente Médio, a Europa continua sendo o destino dos principais jogadores e palco dos campeonatos mais valiosos.
