Shakhtar Donetsk vs Roma | Champions League | Metalist Stadium

Roma and Shakhtar Donetsk face off tonight in the Champions League round-of-16 knockouts after both navigating a tough group stage.

Roma's reward for finishing above Chelsea in Group C is a last-16 tie against Ukrainians Shakhtar, with Antonio Conte's Blues left to face the mighty Barcelona.

Both sides will feel confident of reaching the quarter-finals in a relatively favourable draw, with Shakhtar edging out highly-favoured Napoli to finish behind Manchester City in Group F.

The match will be televised live on BT Sport 3 from 7.30pm for a 7:45pm kick-off. BT Sport subscribers can stream the match online via the video player and the BT Sport app.
