New Delhi: After turning a lot of heads in the group stages, Shakhtar have a few players who on their day are world-beaters and also have a few prodigious talents to show-off.
Darijo Srna
A perfect example of a captain leading by example, Srna is the kind of defender every top European side dreams to have. Croatian and club captain, Srna not only is strong in the air and precise with his sliding tackles, he has the kind of pace which can give all the wingers a pretty hard time.
Still 28 but already at the peak of his defensive powers, Srna is the right player to lead the team against Barcelona.
Douglas Costa
Already a hot property in Europe and a number of clubs ready to wage a bidding war for the talented 18-year old, Costa provides the much-needed pace in the Shakhtar ranks. With a deadly left-foot and the uncanny knack of finding space where none exists. Taking care of affairs in the central midfield department, the Brazilian's pace will be invaluable when the likes of Xavi and Iniesta run past him.
Eduardo da Silva
Now here's a striker who knows all about the Champions League. After plying his trade with Arsenal, the Croat knows what it is like to rub shoulders with the big clubs of Europe and his experience on the big stage will be a precious asset for the club. Apart from that, Eduardo ha what every central striker needs. Pace, agility, presence of mind and a poacher's instinct inside the penalty box.
