Champions League: Sikan scores as Shakhtar shock Barcelona

It was a disappointing display from the Spanish side who won their first three games in the competition and needed one point to book a place in the last 16 with two games remaining.Fan and police officer stabbed in clashes before Champions League match in MilanBarcelona manager Xavi Hernandez made several changes to his starting eleven and, despite dominating possession throughout the match, struggled against a well-organised Shakhtar defence, earning only one shot on target in the game.

The 22-year-old forward jumped behind defender Andreas Christensen to meet a Giorgi Gocholeishvili cross from the right touchline and nodded the ball just out of reach of Marc-Andre ter Stegen in the Barca goal. The goalkeeper made another brilliant reflex save with his right foot to deny a close-range effort by Sikan in the 52nd minute and Newerton later had a goal ruled out for offside.
