Earlier, it was reported that Shakhtar's chances of reaching the Champions League playoffs are slim.

Arsenal, Inter (16), Atletico, Milan (15), Atalanta (14)
Bayer, Aston Villa, Monaco, Feyenoord, Lille, Brest (13 each)

Those still have a chance to advance to the top 24:
PSV, Brugge (11 each)

Manchester City, Dinamo Zagreb (8 each)
Shakhtar Donetsk (7)
Currently, Shakhtar occupies 27th place in the Champions League standings with a goal difference of 7-13. The qualification zone for the top 24 ends at 10 points (Stuttgart has a goal difference of 12-13).
The last round will take place on January 29. The top 8 teams will advance to the 1/8 finals. Teams ranked 9th to 24th will compete in the 1/16 finals. The 12 weakest teams will leave the European cups.
The English grand club Manchester City is currently in 25th place and has not made it to the playoffs yet. However, they can still keep their chances for the European season if they win against Brugge in the last round.
Shakhtar has slim chances of advancing to the playoffs
For this, the team of Mariyan Pushych must beat Borussia Dortmund by a large score away (January 29). They also need to rely on a resounding defeat for one of their competitors (Benfica, PSG, Sporting, Stuttgart) and point losses for Man City and Dinamo Zagreb.
For example, a win by 3:0 against Borussia Dortmund would satisfy the miners, and Stuttgart would have to lose to PSG by 0:3, Man City would not win against Brugge, and Dinamo Zagreb would not earn three points against Milan. The chances of such a scenario are very slim.
Let us remind you that in the 7th round of the main stage of the Champions League 2024/25, Shakhtar won against Brest with a score of 2:0.
Both goals for the Ukrainian team were scored in the first half by Kevin and Sudakov. This is the second victory for the miners in the Champions League 2024/25. Shakhtar is in 27th place in the standings with seven points.
