Kievans have to go through a difficult path to the group stage.

Besiktas, who finished third in the Turkish championship and Lokomotiv from Zagreb, who became vice-champion in the Croatian championship, were added to the list of potential rivals for Dynamo in the qualifying round of the Champions League.

Thus, Viktoria Plzen, PAOK, Lokomotiva, AZ, Rennes and Viennese Rapid can become the likely rivals of Kiev in the third qualifying round.. With Belgian Ghent and Besiktas, Lucescu's team can only fight in the playoffs.

Let us remind you that Dynamo will start from the third qualifying round, which will be held in the format of a one-match confrontation on September 15-16..

The play-off round will consist of two fights and will be held on September 22/23 and September 29/30, respectively.

In addition, Rennes can immediately get into the group stage of the Champions League if the Europa League is won by a team that has already made it to the main European tournament at the end of the championship.. Also, Besiktas may lose a place in the Champions League if Trabzonspor wins the appeal against the ban on participation in European competitions.
