Match background

Werder Bremen will be hoping to get off to a winning start at last in their fifth successive UEFA Champions League campaign. After four straight defeats on Matchday 1, the runners-up will be trying to exploit the inexperience of Anorthosis Famagusta FC, the first Cypriot club to reach the group stage. • Bremen – who also tasted defeat in their first fixture on their only other group-stage appearance, in 1993/94 – lost their first game last season, 2-1 away to Real Madrid CF. They then followed that with another reverse, at home to Olympiacos CFP. Victory in their other two games at the Weserstadion meant they finished third in the group for the second straight season. • The previous year, Bremen started with a 2-0 loss at Chelsea FC, and that was also the scoreline on their two previous opening nights, when they went down to FC Barcelona and FC Internazionale Milano. The best the German club have managed in the competition was successive first knock-out round appearances in the 2004/05 and 2005/06 campaigns. • In 2006/07, Bremen followed the Chelsea loss by winning two and drawing one of their home games. Their record on home soil in the competition – group stage to final – shows ten wins, three draws and four losses in 17 games. • Coached by Thomas Schaaf, the club have met sides from on three occasions, two of which ended in 5-0 victories. Those came home and away in the European Champion Clubs' Cup preliminary round against APOEL FC in 1966/67, resulting in a handsome 10-0 aggregate triumph. Bremen also took on Apollon Limassol FC in the 1996 UEFA Intertoto Cup and won 2-0 away from home. • To make history and become the first Cypriot side to reach the group stage, Anorthosis needed to overcome all three qualifying hurdles, but they strengthened their hand with successive 3-0 home victories in the second and third rounds, first against SK Rapid Wien and then Olympiacos. In the Athens return of the latter tie on 27 August, goalkeeper Arian Beqaj played brilliantly to restrict Olympiacos to a single goal, putting Anorthosis in dreamland. • Temuri Ketsbaia's men beat Armenian side FC Pyunik 3-0 in the first qualifying round over the two legs before recording a 4-3 aggregate victory against Rapid. Lukasz Sosin scored three times for the Cypriot titleholders over the three ties with Nikos Frousos and weighing in with two goals apiece.

• Anorthosis have failed to win in any of their six previous meetings with German opposition in UEFA club competition.

Head coach Werder Bremen: Thomas Schaaf Date of birth: 30 April 1961 Nationality: German Playing career: Werder Bremen Coaching career: Werder Bremen One-club man Thomas Schaaf is among the most unflappable coaches on the European circuit and, through a combination of tactical acumen and shrewd work in the transfer market, he has turned Werder Bremen into one of Germany's most impressive teams in recent years. As a defender, Schaaf enjoyed a terrific 16-season stay at Bremen and played 263 Bundesliga matches for the club after breaking through in 1978. In the process he formed close ties which led to him joining the coaching set-up at the Weserstadion at the end of his playing days. He served his apprenticeship with the Under-18s and the reserves before taking control of the first team alongside former team-mate Klaus Allofs in May 1999, successfully helping Bremen avoid the drop. Schaaf has matured into a patient, thoughtful and diligent coach, working with general manager Allofs to assemble a fine team. Schaaf enjoyed spectacular success in 2003/04 when he guided Bremen to the Bundesliga and German Cup double, clinching the title with a defeat of runners-up FC Bayern München. Although Bremen failed to hit those heights in 2004/05, they did enjoy a promising UEFA Champions League campaign before being ambushed 10-2 on aggregate by Olympique Lyonnais. They reached the first knockout round again in 2005/06, going out on the away-goals rule to Juventus. The next season, Bremen again played in the UEFA Champions League group stage before transferring to the UEFA Cup and reaching the semi-finals. Despite looking favourites to win the 2006/07 German title at times, they ulitmately finished third, earning another UEFA Champions League place – something they repeated with their second-place finish in 2007/08.

Anorthosis Famagusta FC: Temuri Ketsbaia Date of birth: 18 March 1968 Nationality: Georgian Playing career: ASMC Sokhumi, FC Dinamo Tbilisi, Anorthosis Famagusta FC, AEK Athens FC, Newcastle United FC, Wolverhampton Wanderers FC, Dundee FC Coaching career: Anorthosis Famagusta FC Former Georgian international Temuri Ketsbaia wrote himself into Cypriot football folklore when he guided Anorthosis Famagusta FC into the group phase of the UEFA Champions League in 2008/09, becoming the first club from the Mediterranean island to do so. Born in the Georgian district of Gali, Ketsbaia was spotted by former Anorthosis chairman Kikis Konstantinou in 1992 while playing for FC Dinamo Tbilisi and was quickly lured to the club. His dribbling skills, coupled with a ferocious shooting ability and gritty attitude on the pitch soon persuaded AEK Athens FC to sign him in 1994 where he would go on to win the Greek Cup. Ketsbaia longed to play in England and his dream of playing football became a reality when Kenny Dalglish bought him to Newcastle United FC in 1997. He gained legendary status at St James' Park when he scored an injury-time equaliser in the final qualifying round to take Newcastle into the 1997/98 UEFA Champions League group stage. Ketsbaia later said that he had learnt a lot from working under Dalglish. Short spells at Wolverhampton Wanderers FC and Dundee FC followed before returning back to Anorthosis in 2004. Midway through the 2003/04 season, he was appointed player-manager and the following year he secured the club's 12th Division A title. He guided Anorthosis to the in 2006/07 and another league title a year later – going all season unbeaten – but it was the club's elimination of in the 2005/06 UEFA Champions League second qualifying round that really made him a hit among the supporters.

UEFA information

Elite Coaches Forum UEFA has given Europe's top club coaches another unique opportunity to come together and exchange views with the governing body on the state of the European game at a gathering in Nyon, Switzerland. The UEFA Elite Coaches Forum celebrated its tenth anniversary with discussions on tactical and technical trends, the evolution of the European club competitions, the leadership role of the modern coach, how coaches cope with the demands of the high-pressure game today and their relationship with match officials. "It's a short but very intense gathering. Twenty-three top coaches were here, a fantastic turnout from our point of view," said UEFA technical director Andy Roxburgh. "UEFA respects them and listens to what they say, and there are many things that UEFA has taken on board [over the years]." EURO example UEFA hopes that the UEFA Champions League season will carry on in the same spirit that marked UEFA EURO 2008™ in Austria and Switzerland in June. At the UEFA Champions League group stage draw in Monaco, UEFA General Secretary David Taylor recalled the attitude of players, supporters and officials at the EURO tournament, which heartened European football's governing body as it strives to promote the idea of respect throughout football. Congratulating the 32 clubs that have qualified for the UEFA Champions League group phase, Mr Taylor said: "The new European club football season comes hot on the heels of a hugely successful European Championship, where the spirit of both respect and fair play were seen both on and off the field. I'd therefore like to take this opportunity to ask all the clubs, players and officials to continue in that spirit for the season." Only a Game? exhibition Fans from across the globe will be able to get close to some of football's most coveted trophies at the ground-breaking Only a Game? exhibition which opens in Liverpool next month. The UEFA Champions League trophy, the UEFA Cup and the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup will all be on display at the interactive exhibition in the World Museum Liverpool. While providing a traditional museum experience, the exhibition also aims to provoke visitors into considering the social and cultural impact of the planet's most popular sport. The exhibition, which will run from 11 October to 1 March 2009, has been organised by UEFA in conjunction with the Northwest Development Agency, the National Football Museum and National Museums Liverpool to mark the city's year as 2008 European Capital of Culture. Charity cheque As ambassador for the European Leukodystrophy Association (ELA), Zinédine Zidane accepted a cheque from UEFA for CHF1m (€619,000) during the draw for the group stage of the UEFA Champions League in Monaco. At the start of each season UEFA donates CHF1m to a charitable or humanitarian cause. "It is a major contribution by UEFA and an important help for the association I have been sponsoring for the past eight years," Zidane told uefa.com. "I believe we have made good progress and ELA is lucky to receive a cheque from UEFA and its president Michel Platini." Leukodystrophies are rare genetic diseases, and UEFA's donation will help support a four-year project developing a European information and exchange network. Support for referees Europe's top referees and assistant referees have been urged by UEFA to carry on the good work this season and build on the positive results from UEFA EURO 2008™. The annual UEFA summer gathering for its leading match officials was an ideal platform for European football's governing body to give a resounding thumbs-up to the referees, assistants and fourth officials who played a crucial role in nurturing the theme of respect UEFA is striving to promote among players, referees, officials and spectators. "I want to congratulate the 12 referees, 24 assistant referees and eight fourth officials who were at the EURO tournament," said Referee Committee member Volker Roth, who added that the officials had stood up to the challenge of replacing recently retired elite referees. "We had no Pierluigi Collina, Anders Frisk or Markus Merk, but you responded, your performances were great, and we are proud. We ask you to keep up this high level of performance."

Competition facts

• UEFA Champions League: Group stage milestones Holders Manchester United FC are hoping 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, FC 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. 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 FC Spartak Moskva and Bayer 04 Leverkusen (2002/03, first and second group stage respectively) and Fenerbahçe SK (2001/02, first group stage). Dynamo also 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. 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 win 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 04 Leverkusen managed it in 1999/2000 and Liverpool FC 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. Last updated: 01.09.2008

Team facts

Werder Bremen UEFA club competition milestones • Bremen's most successful UEFA club competition season came in the 1991/92 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, a competition they won at AS Monaco FC's expense thanks to goals from Klaus Allofs and Wynton Rufer. UEFA Champions League milestones • Bremen advanced to the European Champion Clubs' Cup quarter-finals in 1988/89, but lost 1-0 on aggregate to AC Milan. This remains their best campaign to date, including the UEFA Champions League format, when they have never got past the first knockout round since their first entry in the 1993/94 group stage. They then had to wait until the 2004/05 edition to return but have taken part ever since. UEFA club competition honours • UEFA Cup Winners' Cup: 1991/92 • UEFA Intertoto Cup: 1998 Ten-year record 2007/08: UEFA Cup – Round of 16 (having transferred from UEFA Champions League group stage) 2006/07: UEFA Cup – semi-finals (having transferred from UEFA Champions League group stage) 2005/06: UEFA Champions League – first knockout round 2004/05: UEFA Champions League – first knockout round 2003/04: UEFA Intertoto Cup – semi-finals 2002/03: UEFA Cup – second round 2001/02: UEFA Intertoto Cup – third round 2000/01: UEFA Cup – third round 1999/00: UEFA Cup – quarter-finals 1998/99: UEFA Cup – second round (having qualified as UEFA Intertoto Cup winners) 2007/08 season Domestic record: Bremen trailed Bundesliga champions FC Bayern München by ten points at the end of the season but still came second. They were knocked out of the German Cup by eventual finalists BV Borussia Dortmund in the third round after a 2-1 loss. European record: Bremen's fourth consecutive involvement in the UEFA Champions League ended in the group stage. They finished third in Group C behind Real Madrid CF and Olympiacos CFP but home wins against the Spanish side and S.S. Lazio were enough to progress into the UEFA Cup Round of 32. They beat SC Braga 4-0 over two legs before facing Rangers FC in the last 16. However, they lost the first leg 2-0 at Ibrox and could only win the return 1-0 ending their interest in the competition.

European record: Anorthosis's season started in July with a tie against FK Vardar in the UEFA Cup first qualifying round, the Cypriot club winning both legs 1-0 to set up a meeting with CFR 1907 Cluj. A 3-1 first-leg win in Romania was followed by a goalless draw in the return, giving Anorthosis a first-round tie against Tottenham Hotspur FC. The English side were 6-1 first-leg winners in north London, although a 1-1 draw in the return restored some pride.
