      The side showed solid resilience after grinding out a 1-1 away draw in their first leg against PSV Eindhoven. Due to the ongoing situation in Ukraine, they have to host their Champions League designated home fixtures at Stamford Bridge this campaign, which largely erases any tangible home advantage they could have claimed.

      Shakhtar Donetsk are preparing to face AEK Athens on Wednesday evening at Stamford Bridge in an important encounter during the 2026–27 Champions League league phase. The Ukrainian side began their European campaign with a 1-1 draw against PSV Eindhoven and will be determined to secure their first victory in the competition. Under Arda Turan, Shakhtar have shown encouraging form domestically, winning three consecutive matches, including a convincing 3-0 victory over Veres-Rivne. Their strong start to the Ukrainian Premier League has placed them at the top of the standings with 21 points from eight matches. Although Shakhtar competed in the Conference League last season and reached the semi-finals, they are eager to make a stronger impression in Europe's premier club competition. Their historical record against Greek opponents also offers encouragement, as they have never lost in five meetings with teams from Greece. With young striker Kaua Elias leading the attack, Shakhtar will
