Marc Andre Ter Stegen: FC Barcelona made it three wins from their first three matches in its season's Champions League with a 2-1 victory at home to Shakhtar Donetsk in a game that looked under control but then got very complicated, on Wednesday night.

The win, thanks to goals from Ferran Torres and the impressive Fermin Lopez, helps distance fears of a third consecutive failure in the tournament after Barca failed to get out of the group stage in 2021 and 2022.

Xavi Hernandez brought Yamine Lamal, Marcos Alonso and Ronald Araujo back into a side still missing several key players, while Ferran Torres played in a central attacking role.
