In the urn of Nyon Juventus draws the English of Tottenham and Roma the Ukrainians of Shakhtar Donetsk for the second round of the Champions League.
Tottenham will therefore be Juventus' opponent in the round of XNUMX of the Champions League. This was decreed by the UEFA draw just ended in Nyon. Tottenham has just returned from success in the group where Real Madrid was, who had also inflicted a heavy defeat in the match played on English soil.
Tottenham finished first in the group by beating the reigning European champions 3-1 at Wembley. In the league the Spurs are currently sixth with 28 points, the result of 8 wins, 4 draws and 4 defeats. The most dangerous man is obviously Harry Kane, author of 12 goals so far in the league and 6 in Europe. There is no precedent between the two teams at the level of European cups.
Roma instead will face Shakhtar Donetsk in the round of 13 of the Champions League. The Giallorossi will play their first away match on 14/20 February or 21/6 February, the return home is scheduled for 7/13 and 14/2011 March. There is a precedent between the two teams in the Champions League: in 3 the Ukrainian team won at the Olimpico 2 to 3 and then came an even more clear win by 0 to XNUMX for Shakhtar in the second leg.
Francesco Totti, present in Nyon to represent Roma in the Champions League draws, positively judges the outcome of the urn that Shakhtar reserved for the Giallorossi: “For what was left in the end, it went pretty well. But Shakhtar should not be underestimated, they are a very strong team, physically and technically, they play very well at home, but the more you go on, the more difficult it is ”.
