Brentford in talks to hold Shakhtar's Champions League matches

Brentford is in discussions to host Shakhtar Donetsk's Champions League matches due to the Ukrainian team's inability to play in their home country. The talks are ongoing, with Brentford's stadium being considered as a potential venue for Shakhtar's home games. If an agreement is reached, Brentford's stadium would be used despite the English team not qualifying for the Champions League themselves. The arrangement would be a result of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, which has forced Shakhtar to seek alternative locations for their matches.
