Buoyed by their unexpected win at the Camp Nou on Matchday 3, FC Rubin Kazan welcome European champions FC Barcelona for their second home game in Group F having already held FC Internazionale Milano in Russia. • Goals in each half from Aleksandr Ryazantsev and Gökdeniz Karadeniz stunned the UEFA Champions League holders in the first meeting between the teams – and Rubin's first game against Spanish opposition – and, while Barça remain top of the section, all four teams are now separated by a single point at the halfway stage ahead of the reverse fixture at the Centralniy Stadium. Match background • While this is Rubin's first home match against a Spanish club, Barcelona have travelled to Russia four times before and returned unbeaten on each occasion, recording one victory and three draws.

• The holders' last game in Russia was a UEFA Champions League first group-stage meeting with FC Lokomotiv Moskva on 1 October 2002. • Xavi Hernández, Carles Puyol and Víctor Valdés featured for a Barcelona side who won 3-1 through goals from Patrick Kluivert and Javier Saviola (2). • The current coach and director of football at the Camp Nou – Josep Guardiola and Txiki Begiristain respectively – were in the Barcelona side defeated by PFC CSKA Moskva in the UEFA Champions League second round in 1992/93. Although Begiristain scored in both legs, Barcelona's 3-2 home loss on 4 November 1992 ended their trophy defence, the 4-3 aggregate reverse denying them a place in the group stage. • Rubin did not compete in Europe before 2004. Outside of qualifying rounds and UEFA Intertoto Cup ties, this is only their third home game in a UEFA club competition proper and they are still seeking a first win. • Barcelona are unbeaten in seven away matches in the UEFA Champions League, including the goalless draw at Inter on Matchday 1. Team ties • Rubin captain Sergei Semak twice finished on the losing side against Barcelona's Spanish internationals Andrés Iniesta, Xavi Hernández and Carles Puyol at UEFA EURO 2008™. Semak's Russia side succumbed 4-1 to Spain in their opening group game and then 3-0 in the semi-final, where Xavi scored the first goal. • Rubin's South African international Macbeth Sibaya suffered the same fate against Spain at this year's FIFA Confederations Cup. He lined up against Barcelona's Sergio Busquets, Gerard Piqué and Puyol as South Africa lost to the Spanish 2-0 in the group stage and 3-2 in the play-off for third place. • Barcelona forward Thierry Henry had mixed fortunes against Russian clubs in the UEFA Champions League with former club Arsenal FC. He appeared against FC Spartak Moskva, Lokomotiv Moskva and CSKA, winning two, losing two and drawing two. He found the net once, in Arsenal's 1-0 home win against Spartak in the 2000/01 second group stage. • Barcelona full-back Daniel Alves was in the Sevilla FC side that beat Lokomotiv home and away in the 2005/06 UEFA Cup round of 32. He also made three trips to FC Zenit St. Petersburg with Sevilla, but never finished on the winning side. • César Navas began his career in Real Madrid CF's B team. He later played for Málaga CF, Catalonia's Club Gimnàstic de Tarragona and Real Racing Club Santander prior to joining Rubin earlier this year. • One of Navas's final appearances for Racing came in a 2-1 home loss to Barcelona in February.

Xavi Hernández is second on 489, with Migueli leading the way on 548. • Seydou Keita has now scored four in three games having registered the first hat-trick of his career against Zaragoza. • That 6-1 triumph was the perfect response to the 2-1 defeat by Rubin – Barcelona's first loss in 15 competitive fixtures since Osasuna's 1-0 win at Camp Nou on 23 May. • Guardiola's side registered six goals five times in the Liga last term, including a 6-2 win at Real Madrid CF on 2 May. • Goals in either half from Pedro Rodríguez earned holders Barça a 2-0 Copa del Rey round of 32 win at CD Leonesa on 28 October.

• UEFA Champions League: Group stage milestones Holders FC Barcelona are looking to avoid becoming the first defending champions to fail to get through a group stage since the UEFA Champions League began. (This record, like the others, includes the seasons between 1999/00 and 2002/03 that featured a second group stage). In 1992/93, Barcelona were the reigning European Champion Clubs' Cup holders and were beaten 4-3 on aggregate in the second round by PFC CSKA Moskva. S.S. Lazio goalkeeper Marco Ballotta became the oldest player to compete in the UEFA Champions League in 2007/08 when he featured against Olympiacos CFP on Matchday 1 at the age of 43 years and 168 days. The record was previously held by Alessandro Costacurta, the AC Milan defender who played against AEK Athens FC in the 2006/07 season at the age of 40 years and 211 days. Ballotta was aged 43 years 252 days when he featured against Real Madrid CF on Matchday 6. Laurent Blanc is the oldest player to score in the competition, aged 36 years and 339 days, having found the net for Manchester United FC in their 3-2 defeat of Olympiacos CFP on 23 October 2002. Celestine Babayaro is the youngest player to have appeared in the UEFA Champions League. He was 16 years and 87 days when he started for RSC Anderlecht against FC Steaua Bucureşti on 23 November 1994. He was then sent off in the 37th minute. Barcelona, Manchester United and Milan have all finished as group winners on ten occasions, one more than Real Madrid and Juventus. Four teams have recorded six successive victories in a UEFA Champions League group stage: Milan (1992/93), Paris Saint-Germain FC (1994/95), FC Spartak Moskva (1995/96) and Barcelona (2002/03, first group stage). In 2006/07, PFC Levski Sofia joined 1. FC Košice in being the only team to have played in the UEFA Champions League and never picked up a point. The Slovakian side have not returned to the competition since losing all six games in their only campaign to date in 1997/98. Six other teams have gone through a single group stage campaign without picking up a point: FC Dynamo Kyiv (2007/08), SK Rapid Wien (2005/06) and RSC Anderlecht (2004/05) plus Spartak Moskva and Bayer 04 Leverkusen (2002/03, first and second group stage respectively) and Fenerbahçe SK (2001/02, first group stage). Manchester United scored 20 goals in the 1998/99 group stage, more than any other side has managed. Barcelona scored 19 times in the 1999/2000 first group stage. Dynamo conceded 19 goals in their six outings in 2007/08, equalling the record let in during a group stage set by Ferencvárosi TC in the 1995/96 campaign. No team has ever gone through a UEFA Champions League group stage without conceding a goal. Milan (1992/93), AFC Ajax (1995/96), Juventus (1996/97 and 2004/05), Chelsea FC (2005/06), Liverpool FC (2005/06) and Villarreal CF (2005/06) all let in just one. Before their 3-1 win against Sporting Clube de Portugal on Matchday 6 of the 2006/07 campaign, FC Spartak Moskva went 22 games without a victory in the competition, surpassing the unwanted record set by AEK Athens FC on Matchday 3 of the same campaign. The lowest total for a team qualifying from the group stage is seven points. The first to do it, since three points for a win was introduced in 1995/96, were Legia Warszawa that same season before Bayer Leverkusen managed it in 1999/2000 and Liverpool in 2001/02. FC Lokomotiv Moskva and eventual finalists Juventus both progressed with seven points in 2002/03, a feat achieved by Rangers FC and Werder Bremen in 2005/06.
