• Athletic fought back to earn a 2-2 draw in that match in Faro on 18 July last year, Óscar de Marcos (29) and Carlos Gurpegi (59) scoring to cancel out early goals by Anderlecht's Matías Suárez (12) and Tom De Sutter (26). Suárez converted the winning spot-kick in Anderlecht's ensuing 4-3 penalty shoot-out success. • Athletic have played eight games against Belgian opposition, their record reading: W4 D3 L1 (W2 D1 L1 in Belgium). They have won two of their three two-legged ties against Belgian sides and their 7-1 triumph against R. Standard de Liège in the 2004/05 UEFA Cup group stage remains their biggest European away victory. • Anderlecht have played 22 games against Spanish sides, with the record W9 D2 L11 (W7 D0 L3 at home, with those defeats coming in the three most recent games). Match background • Athletic are playing their first spring European fixtures since they lost to FK Austria Wien in the 2004/05 UEFA Cup round of 32. They have not won a European game after Christmas since their 1976/77 UEFA Cup campaign, when they reached the final before losing to Juventus on away goals. • Anderlecht last reached the UEFA Cup round of 32 in 2007/08, when they overcame FC Girondins de Bordeaux 3-2 on aggregate en route to a round of 16 defeat by FC Bayern München. • Anderlecht have won just one of their last four European home matches. • Athletic have lost only once in five UEFA Europa League away fixtures this season, including qualifying, and have scored at least once in all those games. Team facts • Ariël Jacobs was in charge of Anderlecht for their most recent meeting with a Spanish side prior to the first leg of this tie – a 2-1 loss at Getafe CF in the 2007/08 UEFA Cup group stage. • Belgium and Spain have met 22 times in senior national competition, kicking off with a 3-1 win for Belgium in the final of the 1920 Olympic tournament in Brussels. Spain have won 11 of those games to Belgium's six, and the Red Devils have not beaten Spain in seven fixtures since winning a 1986 FIFA World Cup quarter-final 5-4 on penalties following a 1-1 draw in Puebla, Mexico. • Fernando Llorente was the highest scorer in the UEFA Europa League group stage with six goals; LOSC Lille Métropole's Gervinho, Werder Bremen's Claudio Pizarro, CD Nacional's Rúben Micael and FC Basel 1893's Alexander Frei all scored five times. • Iker Muniain was fouled 22 times in the UEFA Europa League group stage, more than any other player. • The winners of this tie face the victors of the contest between Hamburger SV and PSV Eindhoven in the round of 16 on 11 and 18 March, playing the second leg at home. Penalties • Both of Anderlecht's previous UEFA club competition penalty shoot-outs ended in defeat; 4-1 at FC Barcelona in the 1978/79 UEFA Cup and 4-3 to Tottenham Hotspur FC in the 1983/84 UEFA Cup final. • Athletic have only once faced a penalty shoot-out in Europe, losing 5-3 to CFR 1907 Cluj in the 2005 UEFA Intertoto Cup second round.

RSC Anderlecht: Ariël Jacobs Date of birth: 25 July 1953 Nationality: Belgian Playing career: Diegem Sport, Racing White, SK Halle, FC Diest Coaching career: RWD Molenbeek, RAA Louviéroise, KSC Lokeren OV, R. Excelsior Mouscron, RSC Anderlecht • Discovered as a 17-year-old at Diegem Sport, Jacobs turned professional with Racing White in 1970, but returned to his first club three years later. The striker would leave the club on two further occasions, returning after a single season. • Player-coach at Diegem by the time he hung up his boots in 1987, Jacobs worked for the Belgian Football Association from 1982 coaching youth teams, and was assistant coach of the national team – under Guy Thys – from 1986 to 1989. • Took charge at RWDM – formerly Racing White – in 1989, resigning in 2001 with his side on course for promotion to the top division. He recuperated at La Louvière, winning the 2002/03 Belgian Cup. • Left coaching for two years in 2004 to become technical director at KRC Genk before a short spell at Lokeren in 2006. Later the same season he saved Excelsior Mouscron from relegation. • Joined to become assistant coach at Anderlecht in June 2007, taking sole command that November following Frank Vercauteren's dismissal. Led the club to a first Belgian Cup in 14 years that season, and now committed to Anderlecht until summer 2012.

Athletic Club: Joaquín Caparrós Date of birth: 13 October 1955 Nationality: Spanish Playing career: Real Madrid CF Castilla, CD Leganés, UB Conquense Coaching career: San José Obrero CF, Campillo CF, Motilla CF, CF Gimnástico Alcázar, UB Conquense, Manzanares CF, Moralo CP, RC Recreativo de Huelva, Villarreal CF, Sevilla FC, RC Deportivo La Coruña, Athletic Club • Following a short playing career Caparrós took his first steps into coaching in his late 20s. • He enjoyed his first major success after taking charge of Recreativo in 1996, winning successive promotions and reaching the second division in 1998. • A brief stint at Villarreal followed for Caparrós, who was offered the job at hometown club Sevilla, then in the second division, in 2000. He led the Andalusian outfit into the Liga and twice helped them qualify for the UEFA Cup before leaving for Deportivo in 2005. • Caparrós took charge of Athletic in 2007 and guided the club to the Copa del Rey final in 2008/09 after narrowly missing out on three previous occasions; his Sevilla team lost out to Real Madrid CF at the semi-final stage in 2003/04 while Depor were eliminated in the last four in 2005/06 and again the following year. • Despite losing the 2009 cup final to FC Barcelona, Caparrós's Athletic side won qualification for the inaugural UEFA Europa League, going on to reach the knockout stages.

The UEFA Cup evolved from the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, and was first contested as the UEFA Cup in 1971/72. This season the UEFA Cup has been reborn as the UEFA Europa League. The new name brings major changes to the competition, which has a new 48-team group stage with centralised marketing of broadcast rights, a presenting sponsor - Spanish car manufacturer SEAT - and an official matchball in addition to centralised sponsorship from the knockout stage and a new logo and visual identity. • Disciplinary information: As a rule, a player who is sent off is suspended for the next match in a UEFA club competition. The Control and Disciplinary Body is entitled to augment this punishment. In the case of repeated cautions, from the group stage a player is suspended for one match after three cautions in three different matches, as well as following any subsequent odd-numbered caution (fifth, seventh, ninth, etc). Single yellow cards and pending suspensions are always carried forward either to the next stage of the competition or to another club competition in the current season. • Locally-trained players rule: In February 2005, UEFA announced the 'A' list that teams submit for UEFA club competitions will continue to be limited to 25 players, and from the 2008/09 season at least eight places are reserved for players trained by the club's own football academy of which half can be players trained by other clubs from within the same association of the said club. The 'B' list also continues to exist – involving an unlimited number of Under-21 players who have been at the club for any uninterrupted period of two years since their 15th birthday. A club-trained player is defined as a player who has been registered for a minimum of three seasons with the club between the age of 15 and 21, whereas an association-trained player is one who has been registered for at least three seasons by the club or by other clubs affiliated to the same association between the age of 15 and 21. • Away goals rule: For matches played under the cup (knockout) system, the team which scores the greater aggregate of goals in the two matches qualifies for the next round. If the two teams involved in a tie score the same number of goals over the two legs, the team which scores more away goals qualifies for the next stage. If this procedure does not produce a result, i.e, if the two teams score the same number of goals at home and away, extra time of two periods of 15 minutes shall be played at the end of the second leg. If during extra time, both teams score the same number of goals, away goals count double (i.e. the visiting club qualifies). If no goals are scored during extra time, penalty kicks determine which team qualifies. • Player registration: UEFA regulations state that for all UEFA Europa League matches from the start of the round of 32, a club may register a maximum of three new eligible players within their squad of 25 for the remaining matches in the current competition. One player from the above quota of three who has played UEFA club competition matches for another competing club in the current season may exceptionally be registered, provided that the player has not been fielded by another club in the UEFA Europa League this season or by a club that has transferred from the UEFA Champions League to the UEFA Europa League following the group stage. • Assistant referees experiment: The 144 UEFA Europa League group-stage games were overseen by six match officials, in an experiment endorsed by the International Football Association Board (IFAB), with two additional assistant referees taking up positions alongside each goal. The additional assistant referees provided two extra pairs of eyes to monitor the game, informing the referee of incidents that he may otherwise have missed. • Disclaimer: Although UEFA has taken all reasonable care that the information contained within this document is accurate at the time of publication, no representation or guarantee (including liability towards third parties), expressed or implied, is made as to its accuracy, reliability or completeness.
