What channel is Shakhtar Donetsk vs Real Madrid? Live streaming details, TV channel, Kick off time and team news

Real Madrid are back in action in the UEFA Champions League this week as they take on Shakhtar Donetsk in a crucial European fixture that could potentially determine the fortunes of Zinedine Zidane's side in the competition. Real Madrid suffered a shocking 3-2 defeat to a second-string Shakhtar Donetsk side in the reverse fixture and will need to take it up a notch on Tuesday.

Shakhtar Donetsk currently find themselves in third place in Group B and have not won a European game since their miracle against Real Madrid last month. The Ukrainian giants have plenty of work to do to pip Inter Milan to a place in the Europa League and will look to take something away from this fixture.

Real Madrid secured a 2-0 victory against Inter Milan in the Champions League last week and will battle Borussia Moenchengladbach for the top spot in their group. Los Blancos suffered a 2-1 defeat against Alaves in La Liga over the weekend and will need to bounce back against Shakhtar Donetsk.

About the author

Aditya is a European and international football writer at Sportskeeda, covering previews, news, post-match articles and live blogs for 5 years. During his time here, he has had the privilege of covering a press meeting during the collaboration between his favorite club Bengaluru FC and Sevilla, where he got a chance to interact with Sevilla president Jose Castro and explore the grassroots development in his city.

Aditya started following the sport after being dazzled by Ronaldinho’s silky feet at the 2006 FIFA World Cup. He is a Barcelona fan and unsurprisingly, his favorite manager and players are Pep Guardiola and Andres Iniesta respectively. He admires the latter for his superhuman talent and his off-pitch demeanor, and his winning goal in Spain’s 2010 World Cup final win over the Netherlands left a lasting impact on Aditya.

The match-preview specialist believes that his ongoing five-year stint at Sportskeeda has given him the ability to identify the distinct line between emotional and fact-based articles, which separates him from other journalists. For him, fact-checking is the most integral part of his writing process and he only relies on authentic platforms for data.

Aditya is a semi-professional pianist and likes to participate in concerts and recitals when not immersed in football.
