Former Shakhtar Donetsk winger Willian has recorded a special video message for football fans ahead of the Ukrainian club's home matches in the UEFA Champions League group stage. The famous footballer urged fans to come to the stands and support the team in the British capital, where the "Miners" will host their opponents in the current European campaign.

### Legendary arena in London

 Shakhtar's home matches in the Champions League will take place at the legendary Stamford Bridge stadium in London. Opened back in 1877, this arena is one of the most famous and oldest football venues in England. Located in the Fulham area of west London, it has served as the home ground for Chelsea since 1905. Following large-scale renovations in the 1970s–2000s, the stadium acquired a modern look and can now accommodate 40,022 spectators.### The symbolism of Willian's figure

 Willian's invitation carries special symbolic value for both clubs. The Brazilian midfielder successfully defended Shakhtar's colors from 2007 to 2012, and later played for Chelsea right at Stamford Bridge from 2013 to 2020. Currently, the 38-year-old player is a free agent after his contract with Brazilian club Grêmio expired earlier this summer.### Ticket sales and match organization

The management of the Donetsk club has already officially opened ticket sales and special packages for all home matches of the tournament in the UK. High interest is expected from the local diaspora and British football fans wishing to watch top-level Champions League matches at the historic London arena.
