Before the start of the Champions League group stage, Dynamo were considered one of the main outsiders in their group. Mircea Lucescu’s team could not question this status, at least not yet. By the fifth round the Kyivans are coming up fourth, having only one point in the asset. A point was scored back in the first round, where Dynamo scored a goalless draw with Benfica. The trip to Munich in the second round turned out to be a failure. Dynamo lost 0:5 to Bayern without any resistance. In Spain the Kyivans played better, but conceded one goal from Barcelona, ??which was enough for the Catalans to win. The match in Kyiv followed the same scenario. Barcelona found its moment and realized it, practically depriving Dynamo of chances for the playoffs.
Valencia are in the process of building a new arena and a new team. The update is going very slowly, but we can say that it is confident. This year on the field we saw a completely different team, which regularly gives decent fights and pleases with content. In addition, it should be noted that under the banner of the main team of Valencia, Jose Bordalas calls on a lot of young people who have a chance to declare themselves against the background of the abundance of legionnaires in La Liga. After 13 rounds, the bats have four victories and five peaceful outcomes, which corresponds to 17 points and 10th position at the equator of the tournament table. Following the away defeat to Betis (1:4), the Orange scored three points in the duel with Villarreal (2:0) and took away the tournament points from Atletico (3:3). Gabriel Paulista and Sanmartin, who have too many yellow cards, will not be able to play today.
