Champions League: Wednesday Preview

Shakhtar are one of only two teams among the 16 who will be in action on Wednesday that still have a 100 per cent record after the first two matchdays. The other is Marseille. Given that the tournament's three most successful clubs are in these four groups - Real Madrid (nine titles), AC Milan (seven) and Liverpool (five), who between them have appeared in the final 30 times, it is perhaps surprising that none of the trio boasts maximum points.
