Match background Shakhtar • Shakhtar lost to German opponents at this stage in 2012/13 when they drew 2-2 at home to Borussia Dortmund, leading twice through Darijo Srna and Douglas Costa with Robert Lewandowski scoring Dortmund's first equaliser. Shakhtar were beaten 3-0 in Germany, Mario Götze getting the second goal. • In last season's UEFA Champions League group stage, the Ukrainian champions drew 0-0 at home to Bayer 04 Leverkusen after a 4-0 away defeat. • Shakhtar's last four home games with Bundesliga visitors have ended in three draws and a loss. Their last success came against holders Eintracht Frankfurt in the 1980/81 UEFA Cup first round when Mikhail Sokolovski's goal earned a 1-0 first-leg win, although the ensuing 3-0 defeat in Germany meant it was in vain. • The Pitmen's home record against German clubs is W2 D3 L1. Overall it reads W5 D4 L5. • Shakhtar's most memorable encounter with a Bundesliga team was their 2-1 victory over SV Werder Bremen after extra time in the 2009 UEFA Cup final in Istanbul. Luiz Adriano scored the opening goal for a Shakhtar side including Andriy Pyatov, Srna, Olexandr Kucher and Ilsinho. • This is Shakhtar's third appearance in the round of 16, all in the last five seasons. Aside from the Dortmund reverse, they overcame AS Roma to reach the 2010/11 quarter-finals. • This time round Mircea Lucescu's men finished second in Group H, five points behind FC Porto. At home they were held 2-2 by Porto before a 5-0 success against FC BATE Borisov; they also won 7-0 away. When they lost 1-0 to Athletic Club on matchday five it was a fourth defeat in their last 19 UEFA Champions League home games, group stage to final, winning nine. • Group H proved a personal triumph for Luiz Adriano who equalled Cristiano Ronaldo's record – set in 2013/14 – of nine group stage goals. Bayern • Bayern's ten previous matches against Ukrainian clubs were all against FC Dynamo Kyiv, who beat the Munich outfit 3-0 (2-0 in Kyiv) over two legs to lift the 1975 UEFA Super Cup. • Their last trip to Ukraine was in the 1999/2000 UEFA Champions League second group stage when they succumbed 2-0. • Bayern have posted a solitary win, one draw and three defeats in Ukraine. • Last term Bayern eliminated Arsenal FC at this stage for the second successive season on their way to a third semi- final appearance in a row. • Winners of Group E by a seven-point margin, Josep Guardiola's charges won away against PFC CSKA Moskva (1- 0) and AS Roma (7-1) and lost 3-2 at Manchester City FC. Coach and player links • Lucescu's Shakhtar played five times against Guardiola's FC Barcelona and suffered four defeats (including a 1-0 reverse in the 2009 UEFA Super Cup). The victory came in the 2008/09 UEFA Champions League group stage as Olexandr Gladkiy's double steered the visitors to a 3-2 Camp Nou triumph. • Thomas Müller struck the final goal to earn Germany a 3-3 draw in a friendly against Ukraine on 11 November 2011 in Kyiv. Jérôme Boateng, Holger Badstuber and Götze also played for the visitors while Kucher and Yaroslav Rakitskiy featured for Ukraine. • Srna was on target in Croatia's 2-1 win over Philipp Lahm and Bastian Schweinsteiger's Germany in the UEFA EURO 2008 group stage in Klagenfurt. Schweinsteiger was sent off in added time. • Kucher was dismissed and scored an own goal in Ukraine's 2-1 friendly victory against David Alaba's Austria in Lviv on 15 November 2011. Rakitskiy also figured for the hosts. • Kucher was also dismissed in added time of the first leg of the 2014 FIFA World Cup play-off against Franck Ribéry’s France in Kyiv on 15 November 2013. Pyatov, Vyacheslav Shevchuk and Taras Stepanenko all played that night while Rakitskiy was on the bench. Match facts 5 FC Shakhtar Donetsk - FC Bayern München Tuesday 17 February 2015 - 20.45CET (21.45 local time) Match press kit Arena Lviv, Lviv Shakhtar • Stepanenko is serving a one-match suspension having been booked three times in the group stage. • Shakhtar have not had a competitive fixture since matchday six. They resume their Ukrainian Premier League defence against FC Vorskla Poltava on 28 February.

    HOW REGIMES DICTATE OLIGARCHS & THEIR FOOTBALL CLUBS: CASE STUDIES COMPARISON OF OLIGARCH FOOTBALL CLUB OWNERSHIP IN DAGESTAN, ROMANIA, & TRANSNISTRIA FROM 1993-2014 MELISSA A. McDONALD A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master in the program of Russian and East European Studies in the Graduate School. Chapel Hill 2014 Approved by: Graeme Robertson Robert Jenkins Milada Vachudova © 2014 Melissa A. McDonald ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Melissa A. McDonald: How Regimes Dictate Oligarchs & Their Football Clubs: Case Studies Comparison of Oligarch Football Club Ownership in Dagestan, Romania, & Transnistria from 1993-2014 (Under the direction of Graeme Robertson) This thesis examines how oligarch football club investments in Central and Eastern Europe face restrictions based on regime type. Oligarchs gained political and economic control of this region following the collapse of communist regimes in the early 1990s. This region also saw great change when athletic institutions fell and football became an avenue for oligarchs to ensure political capital. Although many similarities exist, I argue that oligarchs use different strategies toward clubs to ensure beneficial forms of political capital based on their respective regimes. As a result, I highlight the structure of oligarchs in neo-authoritarian, oligarchical democracy, and de facto state regimes to assess how regimes influence oligarchs’ use of football clubs. I advance this discussion with three case studies of oligarchs and their ownership of local football clubs. My cases include Suleyman Kerimov and FC Anzhi Dagestan, Gigi Becali and FC Steaua București, and Viktor Gushan and FC Sheriff Transnistria.
