Barcelona will be looking to do the double over Shakhtar Donetsk and maintain a perfect record in the 2023-24 Champions League campaign when the two sides meet at Volksparkstadion on Tuesday.
The Catalan giants can make it to the knockout stage with two games to spare following their victories against Antwerp and Porto sandwiching the 2-1 win over Shakhtar in the return leg in Group H.
Shakhtar, on the other hand, will be looking to bounce back from the 2-1 defeat when they face Barcelona. A third UCL defeat here would leave them in a difficult situation to overcome.
Here GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch, including TV channel, streaming details and more.

Even though Pedri returned from a lengthy layoff as a substitute in the 1-0 win over Real Sociedad in La Liga on Saturday, the midfielder may not be ready to start here.
Meanwhile, with Sergi Roberto out with a calf problem, Frenkie de Jong is a doubt on account of an ankle problem.
Lamine Yamal is an option for Robert Lewandowski as the latter returned from an ankle issue of his own, while Oriol Romeu, Andreas Christensen and Raphinha would be in contention to start from the first whistle.
