Bayern Not Ideal for Shakhtar

Donetsk - Hope Shakhtar Donetsk coach Mircea Lucescu, to avoid the big clubs in the Champions League round of 16 was granted.
Now Shakhtar, who in not ideal conditions, inevitably have to pass through obstacles Bayern Munich.

From the results of the last 16 of the draw earlier this week, Shakhtar who qualify as runners-up in Group H must meet the favorites to win, Bayern, with their host first on February 18, three weeks before the next trip to Munich.

Bayern clearly not an opponent who wants to face Shakhtar, although mathematically the Ukrainian club is great chance to meet other strong opponents kinds of Real Madrid, Barcelona or Chelsea.

With Bayern's performance today, arguably chance to step into the quarter-finals Shakhtar is small or if not virtually impossible. Although the players insist they are not afraid to confront the Bavarian team.

However, according to the condition of the current team Lucescu is clearly Shakhtar will serve trouble Bayern. One minus the value is to be played at the Arena Lviv, which terlak 700 miles from their home Donbass Arena Stadium. This is because the heated political conditions in the eastern part of Ukraine.

"I do not want to meet Real Madrid in the fall phase of the Champions League, because they are the defending champions. I also do not want to see Barcelona, because we had against them many times, and I also do not want to see Bayern," said Lucescu as reported by Soccerway.

"Today Shakhtar in difficult conditions: not playing at home, without the support of fans, play continues outside the cage," said the Romanian coach.

"Bayern is one of the strongest teams of Europe, which has tremendous support and a magnificent stadium."

"I repeat: I do not want to meet them at this stage. Naturally, Bayern is the favorite in this fight. But anything can happen in football."

So any club who escaped last 16 Champions League is a great club.
