Manchester City FC v FC Dynamo Kyiv - UEFA Champions League Round of 16: Second Leg

Reigning Dutch champions Feyenoord handed Manchester United a 1-0 defeat last season in the Europa League, while Shakhtar Donetsk play their home games in Kharkiv, making it a stiff trip every time a side visits them.
