Watch Shakhtar Donetsk v FC Barcelona – LIVE Football Stream

Tuesday April 12, 2011 Kick off: 19:45 Quarter-final Donbass Arena

Shakhtar have a defensive crisis ahead of the match at the Donbass Arena, with none of their starting back four available for selection.

Full-back and captain Darijo Srna has a thigh injury and will miss the return leg, with the Ukrainians fighting a 5-1 deficit.

Former Barca defender Dmytro Chygrynskiy and fellow centre-half Olexandr Kucher are also out injured, while left-back Razvan Rat is suspended.

With their progress all-but sealed, Barca are set to rest several first-team players in addition to those missing through injury and suspension.

Carles Puyol, Eric Abidal and Bojan are unfit, while Andres Iniesta is banned.

Lionel Messi could also be rested, meaning possible starts for Thiago, Gabriel Milito, Ibrahim Afellay and Jose Manuel Pinto.

Barcelona 5-1 Shakhtar – Match Highlights

Barcelona assumed total control of their Champions League quarter-final tie against Shakhtar Donetsk with a dominant 5-1 win in the first leg at the Nou Camp.

Andres Iniesta set the tone for the evening with a second-minute opener before Dani Alves doubled the hosts’ lead before the half-time whistle.

Gerard Pique added a third soon after the break and, while Yaroslav Rakitskiy reduced the deficit on 59 minutes to give Shakhtar some brief hope, Seydou Keita blasted home less than a minute later to restore Barca’s comfortable advantage.

The returning Xavi put further gloss to an already gleaming result with four minutes remaining to firmly plant one Blaugrana foot in the semi-final, where in all likelihood they will meet arch rivals Real Madrid.
