Barcelona suffers their first-ever UCL defeat at the hands of Shakhtar

Barcelona finished with 12 points, but they were brutally upset by Shakhtar Donetsk, meaning they missed the opportunity to be in contention for qualification. Barcelona's run of lackluster results in the Champions League has finally been punished, as the Blaugrana suffered their first defeat of the year at the hands of Shakhtar Donetsk.The team led by Xavi Hernandez left for Hamburg to play Shakhtar because football cannot be played in Ukraine due to the conflict with Russia. But the Donetsk squad responded to the occasion and vanquished the main antagonist of the group, bringing Germany home.
