Hamburger SV V PFC CSKA Moskva MATCH PRESS KIT Arena Hamburg, Hamburg Wednesday, 6 December 2006 - 20:45CET Group G - Matchday 6 Hamburger SV v PFC CSKA Moskva MATCH PRESS KIT Arena Hamburg, Hamburg Wednesday, 6 December 2006 - 20:45CET Group G - Matchday 6 All that remains for Hamburger SV as their second UEFA Champions League campaign limps towards a conclusion is to try and gain their first points in Group G. They were assured of finishing in last place after Matchday 4 so the real significance of this game lies in whether PFC CSKA Moskva can overcome recent disappointment and secure the victory which could book them a first-ever qualifying place. • CSKA were handily placed before the last round of fixtures, in possession of a one-point advantage over both Arsenal FC and FC Porto. However, a 2-0 home defeat by Porto promises to be very costly because even a win at the Arena Hamburg might see them left to fight a UEFA Cup campaign if the game between Porto and Arsenal ends in a draw. In that event all three teams would finish with eleven points (and on five points each when results between the three are taken into account) and the goal difference in the matches involved would give Arsenal top spot with Porto second. Valeri Gazzaev's side must look to triumph in Germany and then pray there is a winner at the Estádio do Dragão. • Porto went through to the knockout rounds at CSKA's expense in 2004/05 and on 21 November put themselves in line to repeat the feat after goals in each half from Ricardo Quaresma and captain Lucho González gave them a third successive victory. CSKA, in contrast, suffered defeat for the first time in the section. Late goals • In London, Hamburg slid to their fifth successive defeat though for a time they harboured hopes of a surprise victory as they held the upper hand at Arsenal thanks to Rafael van der Vaart's second UEFA Champions League goal in as many games. Robin van Persie equalised (52) before Emmanuel Eboué and Julio Baptista finally put paid to the resistance of Thomas Doll's side in the final seven minutes. • Hamburg have actually scored more goals than CSKA - four against two - but the Russian champions' meagre scoring tally need not necessarily be an impediment to their hopes of making progress. Teams have qualified before without a rush of goals: Villarreal CF last season and AS Roma in the 2002/03 first group stage both advanced to the next phase with just three goals, the Spanish club going on to reach the semi-finals. Improved form • After losing at home to Arsenal, Hamburg travelled to Moscow on Matchday 2 hoping to show improved form. However, their challenge foundered on Dudu's 59th-minute header which gave CSKA only their second home win in the UEFA Champions League proper. Their previous two campaigns had brought just one win in six home games. • Before that game the teams had never met in UEFA club competition and it was CSKA's first-ever fixture against German opposition. Hamburg had met a team from Russia on one previous occasion - the 1996/97 UEFA Cup when under the guidance of current FC Bayern München coach Felix Magath, they played a second-round tie against FC Spartak Moskva, winning 3-0 at home before drawing 2-2 in the Russian capital. • Hamburg are looking to avoid becoming the only the second German club to fail to register a point in the UEFA Champions League, although Bayer 04 Leverkusen's came in the second group stage in 2002/03. SK Rapid Wien (05/06), RSC Anderlecht (04/05), FC Spartak Moskva (02/03), Fenerbahçe SK (01/02) and 1. FC Košice (97/98) are the five other teams which failed to register a group stage point. Last updated 4.12.2006 13:45:17CET uefa.com 1 Hamburger SV v PFC CSKA Moskva MATCH PRESS KIT Team facts Hamburger SV UEFA club competition milestones • Hamburg's greatest achievement came in the 1982/83 season when they were crowned champions of Europe with a 1-0 win against Juventus - Felix Magath scoring the only goal in Athens after just seven minutes. Three seasons earlier they were beaten finalists, losing by a solitary goal against Nottingham Forest FC in Madrid. • A golden era, the 1981/82 season also saw them reach the UEFA Cup final, where they were runners-up against IFK Göteborg 4-0 over two legs. While success in the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup saw Hamburg as runners-up to AC Milan in 1967/68 and winners in 1976/77 when late goals from Georg Volkert and Magath guided them to a 2-0 win. UEFA club competition honours • European Champion Clubs' Cup: 1982/83 • UEFA Cup Winners' Cup: 1976/77 • UEFA Intertoto Cup: 2005 Ten-year record (including current season) • This season has seen Hamburg return to the UEFA Champions League for the first time in six years. They reached this stage after a third qualifying round victory against CA Osasuna, the German side advancing on away goals following a 1-1 second leg draw in Spain, the only goals scored in the tie. 1997/98: Did not compete in UEFA club competition 1998/99: Did not compete in UEFA club competition 1999/00: Did not compete in UEFA club competition 2000/01: UEFA Cup - third round (having transferred from the UEFA Champions League, first group stage) 2001/02: Did not compete in UEFA club competition 2002/03: Did not compete in UEFA club competition 2003/04: UEFA Cup - first round 2004/05: Did not compete in UEFA club competition 2005/06: UEFA Cup - round of 16 2006/07: UEFA Champions League - group stage 2005/06 season Domestic record: After being championship contenders for much of the season Hamburg finished third in the Bundesliga, seven points behind champions FC Bayern München. Ending with the best defensive record of all 18 clubs, it was enough to earn them a place in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League. European record: A 2-1 aggregate win against FC København in the UEFA Cup first round was followed by a second-place finish in the group stage where Hamburg won three of four fixtures. They then earned a round of 32 2-1 victory against FC Thun but the run ended with a last-16 defeat by AFC Rapid Bucuresti on away goals. Key facts • Hamburg have played 185 matches in UEFA club competition. They have won 92 games, drawn 37 and lost 56, scoring 324 and conceding 218. • The German club have featured in 42 games in the European Champion Clubs' Cup. They have won 18, drawn nine and lost 15, scoring 69 goals and conceding 54. In the UEFA Champions League (group stage to final only), Hamburg have won one, drawn three, lost seven, with 13 goals scored and 22 conceded.

'Early goal' The Greek champions begin their Group F campaign at home to Rosenborg BK on Tuesday with coach Trond Sollied calling on his side to make an early impression ahead of likely tougher tests against Real Madrid CF and Olympique Lyonnais. "There are 18 points up for grabs in the group and we must take as many as we can from each match," said Sollied, a former Rosenborg coach and player whose last experience of Champions League football was at the helm of Club Brugge KV. "If we can get an early goal [on Tuesday] it will certainly boost our chances." False dawns Olympiacos are well used to false dawns in Europe, although they were unlucky not to advance with their tally of ten points in Group A last season. At half-time on Matchday 6 they led Liverpool FC 1-0, and were still on course for the first knockout round at 2-1 down with four minutes to play when Steven Gerrard struck a stunning winner to propel the English team towards the next stage (and eventual glory) and the Piraeus outfit into the UEFA Cup.

With his three goals (20, 44, 75), Villa became the first player since 2000 to score a hat-trick on this illustrious stage before setting up the fourth goal for Cesc Fàbregas (90+1) after Roman Pavlyuchenko (86) had reduced the deficit. • If it is little surprise that Luis Aragonés's Spain have steadily built on that victory to reach their first semi-final in 24 years, Russia's impressive turnaround since that false start was perhaps less easy to predict. Yet it continues Hiddink's commendable record at major tournaments, having never failed to take a team beyond the opening stage. • After losing to Spain, Russia revived their hopes by defeating holders Greece 1-0 in Salzburg through a 33rd-minute goal by Konstantin Zyryanov. They then beat Sweden 2-0 in their decisive third group game, Pavlyuchenko (24) and Andrei Arshavin (50) scoring as Russia secured their passage to the last eight.

  • Madrid Close In
    PREVIEW ISSUE FOUR – 24TH APRIL 2012 MADRID CLOSE IN REAL TAKE THE SPOILS IN THE EL CLASICO AND CLOSE IN ON THE SILVERWARE After a poor week for both sides in Europe, Real and Barca were desperate to grab a win against their biggest rivals on a dramatic, rain-lashed Saturday night at the Nou Camp. It was Real that grabbed the vital win and probably clinched the La Liga title. Los Merengues went ahead through German midfielders Sami Khedira and were comfortable for long periods, but Barca’s Chilean substitute Alexis Sánchez equalised with just 20 minutes remaining. Cristiano Ronaldo’s clinical strike just three minutes later settled the game with Madrid now seven points clear, with only four games remaining. Madrid coach José Mourinho named an very attacking team and his side began the better. Ronaldo’s early header from a corner brought a superb flying save from goalkeeper Víctor Valdés. His opposite number Iker Casillas was then quickly off his line when full-back Dani Alves dispossessed Sergio Ramos. The game was being played at a fearsome pace and French striker Karim Benzema brought the best out of Valdés again. Barca thought they had gone front when Alves had the ball in the net after a Cristian Tello run, but the youngster had been flagged offside. INSIDE THIS WEEK’S WFW Real’s brave start was rewarded when Pepe’s header from another corner was half- - RESULTS ROUND-UP ON ALL MAJOR stopped by Valdes and Khedira tackled an COMPETITIONS FROM AROUND THE hesitant Carles Puyol to push the ball into the WORLD net to put Madrid ahead.

    Hamburger SV v Viking FK PRESS KIT AOL Arena, Hamburg Thursday, 3 November 2005 - 18:30 local time Group A - Matchday 2 Something has to give at the AOL Arena as the two Group A winners from Matchday 1 meet looking to maintain perfect starts. Hamburger SV won their opening game 1-0 at PFC CSKA Sofia thanks to a Rafael van der Vaart goal, while Viking FK secured a fine home win against the 2004 UEFA Champions League finalists AS Monaco FC, Nkosinathi Nhleko scoring the only goal in another 1-0 success. •Despite beginning their European adventure in the 1960/61 season, Hamburg now face Norwegian opposition for the first time. The Bundesliga club (who qualified for this competition as one of the three UEFA Intertoto Cup winners along with RC Lens and Olympique de Marseille), are looking to complete a quartet of European trophies. •Hamburg have also won the 1976/77 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup and the 1982/83 European Champion Clubs' Cup. •However, they were beaten 1-0 by Nottingham Forest FC in the 1979/80 European Cup final and lost 2-0 to AC Milan in the 1967/68 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup final. The German side completed a hat-trick of losing major finals when they lost to IFK Göteborg in the 1981/82 UEFA Cup final, 4-0 on aggregate. •Viking have met German clubs in five previous ties in UEFA competition, and have come out on top only once, against 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig, now VfB Leipzig but then of the East German league, with a win on away goals in the 1982/83 UEFA Cup first round.
