February 21, "Miners" and the Romans converge in the first leg of the 1/8 finals of the Champions League.

Meanwhile, UEFA announced a list of arbitrators who will serve the match.

Work on the match Shakhtar - Roma will be the Scottish Judicial Brigade. The main referee will be William Collam, who will be assisted by David McGee and Francis Connor. Additional assistants are assigned to Bobby Miden and John Biten, while Douglas Potter will serve as the fourth arbitrator.

39-year-old Kollam only once worked for the match Roma - it happened in 2010.

Then William served the game against Cluj, which ended in a draw 1: 1.

The "miners" and Collam are not related to the best memories. This referee worked on the return match of Donetsk in the 1/8 finals of the Champions League against Bayern in the season 2014-2015. Then Shakhtar was defeated in Munich with a score of 0: 7.

Match Shakhtar - Roma will start on Wednesday at 21:45 Kiev time.

Earlier, the head coach of the Donetsk team Paulo Fonseca shared his expectations from the match.
