Real Madrid will aim to keep their 100 percent win record intact when they welcome Shakhtar to the Bernabeu on Wednesday.

Real Madrid will continue its Champions League campaign this season by welcoming Shakhtar Donetsk to the Bernabeu on Wednesday night. Los Blancos will be attempting to make it three victories in a row in Group F in order to position themselves comfortably as they set their sights on a continental title defense.

Carlo Ancelotti's men haved already resumed from where they left things last season. So far they have registered successive wins against Celtics and RB Leipzig and are inching closer to securing a guarenteed spot to progress to the knockout stage. Over the weekend, the Merengues had what has been a 100 start to the season ruined, dropping a couple of points for the first time across all competitions as a result of the 1-1 draw with Osasuna. 

They will come into the midweek's affair with the hopes of returning to winning ways but will be weary of the threat the opponent they face possess. Shakhtar are not new foes for Madrid as the two teams met in the group stage of the 2020-21 season. Even more notable is the fact that the Spaniards lost both and away against the Ukrainian outfit, with the clash at home ending in a 3-2 victory for the visitors.

Last season, Real Madrid got the opportunity to avenge their capitulation in the previous season by defeating Shakhtar in the home and away fixtures. For the visitors, much as changed since this meeting and they will be hoping to upset the odds once more to extend their unbeaten run. 

Igor Jovicevic's side have made an impressive start to their Group F campaign, beating RB Leipzig in their own backyard and holding Celtic to a 1-1 draw at home. They should be bouyed by the fact that they managed a 6-1 win over Metalist Kharkiv in the league on Saturday, leaving them atop the domestic table on 13 points.
