Alisson had two world class finishes today. What a player we have on our hands.
🤩 Alisson keeps the show going! 🧡
⚽️⚽️ The midfielder scored twice 🆚 Obolon 👏

Great to see a bit of rotation. Unfortunately Kryskiv is still preferred to Smetana and Tsukanov

This is one of the most important events of the last decade for the club. Shakhtar can now offer young Brazilian players not just regular game time in the Champions League, but a direct pathway to the Brazil national team. Convincing talented youngsters to join Shakhtar has become a lot easier.
In addition, if these players do get game time for Brazil, Shakhtar can request a more significant transfer fee for them.
Arda Turan should take a lot of credit. It is under him that Marlon and Alisson became a top quality players.
Today is a fantastic day for Shakhtar Donetsk. Congratulations to Marlon and Alisson!
🔥⚒️ Marlon and Alisson have received their first call-ups to Brazil! 🇧🇷
⚽️ During the international break, the Seleção will play two friendly matches.
📆 November 14 🇯🇵 Japan 🆚 Brazil 🇧🇷
📆 November 17 🇸🇬 Singapore 🆚 Brazil 🇧🇷
😍 We’re proud of our lads and wish them every success! 🙏

This is one of the most exciting staff acquisitions in recent years. Shakhtar’s academy has been very underwhelming in the recent years.
It was Van Leuwen who set the groundwork for the academy that produced the likes of Mudryk& Sudakov. It’s great to have Patrick back onboard
🧡 Patrick van Leeuwen is the new director of the FC Shakhtar Academy ⚒️
The Dutchman has signed a three-year contract. Van Leeuwen will take up his duties in November.

Strong Shakhtar can only exist with strong Dynamo. We sincerely wish the Kyiv club to return to their former glory.
Unfortunately, this is impossible with the current ownership. Stagnation is the best case scenario their fans can hope for. With ambitious projects like Polissya and Kharkiv, a regular decline to 3/4th place in the league is the most realistic outcome.
With questionable transfers, over reliance on the academy and the owners blaming anyone but themselves, it’s hard to see where the improvement will come from.
🔵🇺🇦 Dynamo Kyiv are preparing for their centenary amid uncertainty….
📉 Off the pace in the league, six points behind the leaders, they have also been knocked out in the last 16 of the cup following a 3–0 defeat away to Shakhtar that saw two players sent off.
🔄 Internal tensions, a managerial change with no clear direction, an ambitious transfer window yet new signings barely used… Keasse Bah, signed from Lausanne, and Pierre Mounguengue, brought in from PSG, were meant to embody the club’s ambitions.
Instead, they have become symbols of its contradictions : how can you build a project without giving those expected to drive it a chance ?
🤷♂️ An illustrious past… but what vision for the future ?

Arda is right to expect Shakhtar players to expect the opponent. However, this time there were no provocative and disrespectful statements by Dynamo’s players before the match. We have no doubt that Shakhtar players will not do silly posts on social media after this game.
Red cards, drama, fighting for every ball, and a dominant win for Shakhtar- this is what we call the perfect Klasychne.
It was very important for the team to bounce back against the rivals after dropping points against Inter and Zorya
🔥 3-0! 🧡 We won the Ukrainian Clasico, advancing to the Ukrainian Cup quarter-finals! 🏆
⚒️ Shakhtar defeated Dynamo in Lviv 🇺🇦
⚽️ Mendoza ⚽️ Isaque ⚽️ Alisson
🔜 The upcoming match is against Obolon in the UPL on October 30 in Lviv.

Slow to start first half, but we are fortunate that Ocheretko managed to get yet another opposition player a red card.
A goal is crucially important for Shakhtar as the team can come back for the second half filled with confidence
⏸️ Half-time in the Cup clash in Lviv! 🏆
⚒️ Shakhtar are leading 1-0 in the match vs Dynamo thanks to Mendoza's goal ⚽️

A very strong lineup from Turan. He is taking this game seriously.

Great bit of business by the club. Sure, Yehor may not be our best player, but he is still very useful, particularly with set pieces. He’s also great in matches where we need to see out the result after scoring
🧡 Yehor Nazaryna signed a new contract with Shakhtar! ⚒️
✍️ The deal with the midfielder runs until December 31, 2029 🤝

Trying to avoid emotions after this game. Of course the team had emotionally and physically difficult trip to Milan. However, some players’ performances were inexcusable. Elias was shocking and either Traore or Meirelles should start. Kryskiv should not play for Shakhtar again
🤝 A 0-0 draw in the Shakhtar 🆚 Zorya match in Lviv.
🔜 The next game is a Cup clash against Dynamo in Lviv on October 27.
