Shakhtar Donetsk found out which basket they will fall into during the 2023/24 Champions League group stage draw. Champion of Ukraine will be seeded in the main round of the most prestigious European tournament from the third pot. The Pitmen would have been in Pot 2 if Inter had won the 2022/23 Champions League.
But in the final match in Istanbul, Manchester City defeated the Italian club. Therefore, during the draw for the next Champions League season, Feyenoord in the Netherlands will be placed in Pot 1, Inter will be in Pot 2 and Shakhtar will be in Pot 3.. The Donetsk club will recognize its rivals on August 31, when the group stage draw of the Champions League of the 2023/24 season will take place. Recall that Shakhtar, as the winner of the Ukrainian Premier League, received a direct ticket to the group stage of the Champions League-2023/24.
