RB Leipzig vs Shakhtar Donetsk

RB Leipzig tickets for the Champions League match with Shakhtar Donetsk

Shakhtar Donetsk come to Leipzig on Wednesday, January 20, 2027, a club with long experience of this competition and a European trophy to its name.

The 2009 UEFA Cup and what followed

Shakhtar beat Werder Bremen after extra time in the 2009 UEFA Cup final in Istanbul, still their greatest continental achievement. They have been unable to play at the Donbass Arena in Donetsk since 2014, and home fixtures have been staged at changing venues ever since. That they remain a constant in European competition says a good deal about the club.

The Red Bull Arena

Built inside the embankment of the old Zentralstadion, opened in 1956 with room for up to 100,000 and once Germany's largest ground. Bridges carry you through the embankment to a modern bowl holding around 47,000.

Leipzig without a car

Twenty minutes on foot from the Hauptbahnhof to the stadium, through a compact old centre with the Thomaskirche and Nikolaikirche on the way.
