21:56The first half ended at the Bernabéu with Real Madrid playing with determination for the first 30 minutes but with the Ukrainians on target they needed to be united in defence. And it is that the whites are very strong in attack and relatively soft in defense. Benzema, who had several chances, was unable to beat Trubin in the first half, finishing with eight shots on the Madridistas’ goal.

The players are in the locker room tunnel and waiting at the Bernabéu.
Let the new Champions League match begin now!
We take a look at the starting XIs before the players come out!
REAL MADRID: Courtois; Carvajal, Alaba, Militao, Mendy, Tchouaméni, Kroos, Valverde, Vinicius, Rodrygo and Benzema
SHAKTHAR DONETSK: Trubin; Konoplya, Matviyenko, Bondar, Mykkhaylichenko, Mudryk, Sudakov, Stepanenko, Bondarenko, Shved, and Zubkov
Let’s also remember that in less than a week, this coming Tuesday, both teams will meet again. This time it’s in Poland, where Shakthar are playing due to war injuries.
From one moment to the next, the players of Real Madrid and Shakhtar will retire to their respective dressing rooms to receive the final talk from their coaches so that, when they go out again, it will be to play football.
By the way! The referee of the match was Slovakian Ivan Kružliak. Good luck to him!
Countdown!
Half time to start this Real Madrid – Shaktar Champions League
The goalkeepers are already warming up on the grass of a Bernabéu that is a real carpet. The stands are gradually filling up
For its part, Shakhtar has Mudryk, as we said, who is the great hope of Ukrainian football. A young winger (21 years old) who is good, quick and has great footwork capable of scoring goals as well as creating them. His performance at the Bernabéu tonight in a Champions League match could elevate him.
And to point out one player from each team, the main one in Real Madrid is Benzema. The French striker returned on Sunday from injury and missed a decisive penalty showing that he has a long way to go to reach his best level. however, his presence tonight is the biggest offensive asset the white team has, hoping to get him back in goal soon.
For their part, Shakhtar surprised on the first day by going 1-4 away to Leipzig and the group has been reversed. Already against Celtic, where it seemed like another rivalry in favor of the Ukrainians, they did not go from a draw to a goal and thus added four points while waiting to see what the Germans and Scots will do in the rivalry played at the moment.
As for Real Madrid, the current champions, their roadmap is flawless as they have played two games, won both and failed to score any goals. His rivalries against Celtic (0-3) and Leipzig (2-0) were solved with solvency and he put himself as leader as expected, because the group is in medium-low demand for whites.
With the introductions done, we’ll go over what the background of the two teams has been so far.
