Barcelona vs. Shakhtar: Champions League match schedule and TV broadcast information today

Barcelona faces Shakhtar Donetsk in a crucial Champions League match as they aim to secure qualification for the round of 16. The team is in a strong position, with emerging youth players making an impact. The coach is dealing with injuries but hopes to recover key players for the upcoming matches against Shakhtar and Real Madrid. The match will be broadcasted on Movistar and can be followed live on the La Vanguardia website.

Barcelona is set to take on Ukrainian team Shakhtar Donetsk this Wednesday in a crucial match for the group stage of the Champions League. The Blaugranas are determined to secure their spot in the round of 16, a feat they haven't accomplished in the past two seasons.

Under the leadership of Xavi Hernández, Barcelona finds themselves in an excellent position to secure their long-awaited passage to the next phase. Currently sitting in second place in Group H with six points, they have already secured victories against Porto (0-1) and Belgian Antwerp (5-0).

One of the most promising aspects for Barcelona is the emergence of their young players. The latest addition to the list is forward Marc Guiu, who scored the winning goal against Athletic Club (1-0).

However, Barcelona's coach will have to rely on the depth of his squad as they face a challenging week ahead. With a Champions League match followed by a highly anticipated clash against Real Madrid on Saturday, the team is dealing with six players in the infirmary. Unfortunately, Xavi Hernández has already ruled out Sergi Roberto and Jules Kounde for the upcoming games.

All eyes are now on the potential return of Pedri González, Raphael Dias 'Raphinha', Robert Lewandowski, and Frenkie de Jong for either the European match or the showdown against Real Madrid.

The match between Barcelona and Shakhtar, which corresponds to matchday three of the group stage of the Champions League, will take place this Wednesday, October 25 at 6:45 p.m. at the Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium. Fans can catch the action on Movistar or follow live updates on the La Vanguardia website.
