Shakhtar has a chance to directly qualify for the Champions League:  Shakhtar's victory this week brought the team +2,000 points to the club rating, which brought the miners significantly closer to the Scottish Rangers. Currently, the gap between the clubs is 4,500 points, but the situation looks promising👀 The math is simple: • Each win = +2,000 • Draw = +1,000 • Advance to the next round = +0,500 If Shakhtar beats AZ next week, the team will immediately receive +2,500 points.
