Champions League - Match facts: Borussia Dortmund v Shakhtar Donetsk - Yahoo! Eurosport UK

No Ukrainian team has ever beaten Borussia Dortmund in European competition (including qualifiers) (five losses, two draws).

Borussia Dortmund have won all three of their home games in the Champions League this season, conceding only one goal.

Shakhtar Donetsk have only lost once in their four trips to Germany in European competition (two wins, one draw), against Eintracht Frankfurt (0-3) in UEFA Cup in October 1980.

This is only the second time Shakhtar have reached the knockout stages of the Champions League after 2010/11 when they were eventually knocked out in the quarter-finals.

Shakhtar are unbeaten in their last five encounters with German clubs in European competition (three wins, two draws).

11 of Shakhtar's last 12 goals in the Champions League have been scored by Brazilian players (Texeira (2), Fernandinho (1), Willian (4), Luiz Adriano (3), Douglas Costa (1)).

Of the teams left in the competition only Celtic (66.0%) have a worse passing accuracy in the opposition's half than Borussia Dortmund (71.9%).
