FC Barcelona made it into the semi finals of the Champions League without having to suffer for it by winning 1-0 away to Shakhtar. A Messi goal before the break banished any fears of the Ukrainians putting together a comeback.
Despite the 5-1 lead from the first leg, Pep Guardiola continues to preach caution: “in football and in sport as a whole, anything can happen”, whilst stressing the importance of Tuesday’s game :”we are on the verge of reaching the semis for the fourth year on the run”.
FC Barcelona have a foot and a half in the semi finals of the Champions League thanks to a 5-1 win over Shakhtar Donetsk at the Camp Nou. In a gripping game, all of Iniesta, Alves, Piqué, Keita and Xavi found the target.
FC Barcelona's coah Pep Guardiola is worried about Shakhtar Donetsk, which he qualifies as a great side. He is also worried that people are getting too excited about their strong league position and a theoretically beatable opponent in the Champions League.
FC Barcelona have been drawn against Ukrainian side Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League quarter finals. The first leg is at the Camp Nou on April. If Barça qualify for the semi finals, they will meet either Real Madrid or Tottenham, with the second leg in Barcelona.
