Group G of the 2011/12 Uefa Champions League starts on Tuesday 13 September 2011 with Porto, Shakhtar Donetsk, Zenit St Petersburg and Apoel battling out for a place in the knockout stages and, maybe, a place in the final in May 2012.

The big question in this group is whether it will be Shakhtar Donetsk or Zenit that join Porto in the knockout stages. Apoel will not be in contention.

Two teams from each group of four will go though the knockout stages. The third place in each group will go into the Europa League with the team that finishes fourth being eliminated.
