Champions League
Barcelona will be without a president heading into the Shakhtar match
Barcelona President Joan Laporta said that his club will not be able to play against Shakhtar in the 4th round of the Champions League group stage, which will be played in Hamburg, Germany on November 7.
For medical reasons, Laporta is prohibited from traveling by plane for the next few months.
At the same time, Laporta participated in many of Barcelona’s final away matches, including their final away match against Porto in the Champions League, and was transported to the organization by road or rail. However, in the situation with the trip to Hamburg, it was decided to abandon such a trip, as it would be too tiring and difficult for the Barcelona president.
Let us remind you that after 3 weeks played in Group H, Barcelona had 9 points, Porto had 6 points, Shakhtar had 3 points and Antwerp had 0 points.
