Shakhtar Donetsk are a football club like no other. Displaced from their home, they still compete at the top level of European football and dominate domestically. But that's just half the story.
In this special edition of On The Continent, Andy Brassell takes you inside this extraordinary club to watch Shakhtar's season unfold and follow its latest crop of Brazilian talents – Pedrinho, Alisson and Eguinaldo – as they develop under their head coach, the legendary Arda Turan.
You'll hear from players, people on the ground in Ukraine, and sporting director Darijo Srna. Join us for European football's most remarkable tale.
