Barcelona missed out on becoming the first side to reach the Champions League knockout stages as they were stunned by Shakhtar Donetsk.<\/p>\n

Danylo Sikan scored the game\u2019s only goal, meeting Giorgi Gocholeishvili\u2019s cross with a looping header.<\/p>\n

Newerton thought he had added a late second, but the teenager\u2019s effort was ruled out for offside.<\/p>\n

Barcelona needed a point in Hamburg to advance from Group H with two matches to spare, but they were made to wait.<\/p>\n

Despite dominating possession, the visitors were unable to break down the Ukrainian champions.<\/p>\n

However, Xavi\u2019s side remain top of Group H with 10 points and will reach the knockout stages if they avoid defeat to Porto in their next match on 28 November.<\/p>\n

Shakhtar, who last beat the five-time Champions League winners Barcelona in 2008, are third in Group H with six points.<\/p>\n

Marino Pusic\u2019s team are hoping to reach the knockout stages for the first time since the 2017-18 campaign, when they lost in the round of 16 to Roma.<\/p>\n
