However, they have not featured in the quarter-finals in a decade, and have lost their last three ties at this stage. Previous meetings • Shakhtar recorded a comfortable victory against Roma when the teams met at this stage of the 2010/11 competition. First-half goals from Jádson (29), Douglas Costa (36) and Luiz Adriano (41) gave the Ukrainian side a 3-2 first-leg victory in Rome despite Razvan Raţ's own goal (28) and a Jérémy Ménez strike (61) for Roma. • Mircea Lucescu's team completed the job back in Donetsk thanks to Willian's double (18, 58), either side of Marco Borriello's 28th-minute penalty miss for the visitors, and a late Eduardo effort (87). Roma lost defender Philippe Mexès to a second yellow card four minutes before half-time. • The sides at the Donbass Arena on 8 March 2011 were: Shakhtar: Pyatov, Srna, Chygrynskiy, Rakitskiy, Raţ, Hübschman, Mkhitaryan (Alex Teixeira 67), Douglas Costa (Eduardo 60), Jádson, Willian, Luiz Adriano (Marcelo Moreno 75). Roma: Doni, Burdisso, Juan, Mexès, Riise, Taddei (Rosi 46), Pizarro, De Rossi, Perrotta (Caprari 86), Borriello, Vučinić (Brighi 65). • Taras Stepanenko was an unused Shakhtar substitute in both legs. • When the teams met in the 2006/07 UEFA Champions League group stage, Shakhtar won 1-0 at home thanks to Ciprian Marica's 61st-minute goal. • The teams in Donetsk on 22 November 2006 were: Shakhtar: Shust, Tymoshchuk, Kucher, Duljaj, Fernandinho (Gai 90), Brandão, Raţ, Chygrynskiy, Marica (Aghahowa 75), Srna, Jádson (Elano 81). Roma: Doni, Panucci, Mancini (Vučinić 78), Cassetti, Mexès, De Rossi, Perrotta, Ferrari (Pizarro 69), Aquilani (Montella 78), Totti, Taddei. • Roma were 4-0 victors in Italy, Rodrigo Taddei, Francesco Totti, Daniele De Rossi and David Pizarro all scoring in the final 24 minutes. Match background Shakhtar • Since that 2011 win against Roma, Shakhtar have lost on both their last-16 appearances: against Borussia Dortmund in 2012/13 (2-2 home, 0-3 away), FC Bayern München in 2014/15 (0-0 home, 0-7 away). The second-leg loss to Bayern is their heaviest European defeat. • The Ukrainian side are therefore unbeaten in their three home round of 16 games in the UEFA Champions League (W1 D2). • The Donetsk side won all three of their home fixtures in Group G this season, beating SSC Napoli 2-1 on matchday one and Feyenoord 3-1. Last time out they became the first side to beat section winners Manchester City FC this season, recording a 2-1 victory. • Shakhtar's record at home to Italian clubs is W4 D0 L6. • The Pitmen's record in two-legged knockout ties against Serie A clubs is W1 L3, with that 2010/11 defeat of Roma their sole aggregate success. • Shakhtar are playing their UEFA Champions League home games in Kharkiv this season due to the political situation in Ukraine, and have won six of their last 14 home matches in the competition proper (D5 L3), group stage to final. • Márcio Azevedo, Taison and Marlos all called the OSK Metalist Stadion home before joining Shakhtar from FC Metalist Kharkiv. • In 2016/17, the Ukrainian team lost to BSC Young Boys in the third qualifying round (2-0 home, 0-2 away, 2-4 on penalties). They eventually made it to the UEFA Europa League round of 32, going down to RC Celta de Vigo (1-0 away, 0-2 home aet). • That Celta defeat ended Shakhtar's five-game winning run at home, and is their only defeat in their last 13 home 5 FC Shakhtar Donetsk - AS Roma Wednesday 21 February 2018 - 20.45CET (21.45 local time) Match press kit OSK Metalist Stadion, Kharkiv matches in Europe (W10 D2). Roma • Roma's round of 16 record is W2 L3. They beat Olympique Lyonnais (2006/07) and Real Madrid CF (2007/08) in their first two appearances, but have since lost to Arsenal FC (2008/09), Shakhtar (2010/11) and Madrid (2015/16).
