Buffon, Chiellini, Barzagli and Bonucci will take Mkhitaryan on tonight – Goal.com

Goal.com football website reflected on Armenian national football team and Ukraine’s FC Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan, before to the second leg of the UEFA Champions League group match between Juventus F.C. of Italy and Shakhtar.

“Donbass Arena in Donetsk is a very musical stadium. Every goal by Shakhtar is greeted with tunes from the country of the scorer. Most of the time the crowd naturally listens to samba. This season, however, samba is less frequent, and its place is taken by the Saber Dance. Aram Khachaturyan is Armenia’s finest composer, and Henrikh Mkhitaryan is the man responsible for him being celebrated in eastern Ukraine.

The 23-year-old midfielder has been unplayable in recent months. His 13 goals in the Ukrainian league include a hat-trick versus Chernomorets Odessa and doubles against Arsenal Kiev, Volyn and Vorskla.

As well as starring for Shakhtar, Mkhitaryan also hit the headlines by scoring no less than six goals in Armenia's sensational Euro 2012 qualifying campaign. Mkhitaryan, who made his national team debut before he was 18, is already one of his country's leaders.

Juventus’ Gianluigi Buffon, Giorgio Chiellini, Andrea Barzagli and Leonardo Bonucci will take him on tonight in the Champions League, before meeting the young prodigy again in Yerevan next Friday, wearing Squadra Azzurra shirts. They will have their hands full on both occasions,” Goal.com writes.

To note, the second leg of the UEFA Champions League group match between Juventus and Shakhtar will be played on Tuesday.
