Villarreal CF V Arsenal FC MATCH PRESS KIT El Madrigal, Villarreal Tuesday, 25 April 2006 - 20:45 CET Semi-Finals - Matchday 12 Villarreal CF v Arsenal FC MATCH PRESS KIT El Madrigal, Villarreal Tuesday, 25 April 2006 - 20:45 CET Semi-finals - Matchday 12 In the three seasons since UEFA restructured the format of the UEFA Champions League by abolishing the second group stage, no team has progressed as far as Villarreal CF while scoring so few goals. However, the Spanish side must now add to their tally of eight strikes in the competition if they are to complete their fairy-tale debut by overcoming Arsenal FC to win a place in the final on 17 May. Home struggles · Clubs playing at home first in the semi-final have not had things their own way in recent campaigns. Before this term, only three of the last ten UEFA Champions League semi-finals had produced a home win in the first leg. Of those home victors, just AS Monaco FC in 2003/04 and AC Milan last season made it to the final. Arsenal©s aim will be to improve that statistic as they defend a narrow advantage at El Madrigal. · The odds may be against Villarreal, however, as in the 14 seasons since the UEFA Champions League was created, post-group only 16 teams have recovered from losing the first leg to win the tie. Winning farewell · Kolo Touré©s first-half goal ± his first in 14 months since he struck against FC Bayern München in the first knockout round in February 2005 - gave Arsenal a winning farewell to their Highbury home in the last European game to be staged there before the summer move to a new stadium at nearby Ashburton Grove. It was not the worst result the Spanish visitors could have suffered but they know the difficulties they now face trying to reduce the deficit. Nine clean sheets · Breaching the Londoners© defence has proved a task beyond their opponents in Arsenal©s last nine UEFA Champions League outings. Arsène Wenger©s men have not conceded a goal in 829 minutes and that magnificent sequence was rarely threatened at Highbury. Goalless will do · For Arsenal to make their first UEFA Champions League semi-final a winning experience and give England a representative in the final for the second year running, they only need to replicate the result from the second-leg games in both the previous rounds. Against Real Madrid CF (home) and Juventus (away) the result was 0-0. · But Villarreal ± attempting to follow Liverpool FC in becoming the second successive winners of the trophy who started their journey in the third qualifying round as well as the first team to reach the final in their debut campaign since Valencia CF in 1999/00 - will remember that in the quarter-finals they also trailed from the first match. · That 2-1 defeat at FC Internazionale Milano came after Diego Forlán had shot the Spanish side ahead. At home they then pulled through with a 1-0 victory thanks to Rodolfo Arruabarrena©s second-half header which ensured a triumph on away goals. The full-back had also registered the equaliser at home in the first knockout round to enable Manuel Pellegrini©s men to advance, again on away goals, at the expense of Rangers FC. Two defeats · The San Siro loss was Villarreal©s only previous reverse in the competition. Their first term in the élite tournament has seen them remain unbeaten at El Madrigal and it is also a venue at which no English visitor has won. · In the third qualifying round in August they overcame Everton FC 2-1 there to complete a 4-2 aggregate success and followed that by holding Manchester United FC to goalless draws home and away in the group stage. Last Updated 24.4.2006 00:47:55CET uefa.com 1 Villarreal CF v Arsenal FC MATCH PRESS KIT · Before this season, Villarreal©s only meeting with Premiership opposition had come at home to Middlesbrough FC in last year©s UEFA Cup group stage when they recorded a 2-0 triumph. Unbeaten at home · Villarreal have not lost in six home games in the current edition, including the third qualifying round. They have only conceded three goals in total, and never more than one a match. Leading scorers · Arruabarrena©s two strikes make him joint-top scorer for the Primera División outfit ± who qualified after finishing third in Spain in 2004/05 - in the competition. Forlán and Juan Román Riquelme are also on two with the latter©s goals both coming from the penalty spot. Recent form best · For this away match, Arsenal will be seeking to repeat the form of their last two trips to Spain when they recorded victories. In this season©s first knockout round, a 1-0 victory at the Santiago Bernabéu ± the first time English opposition had prevailed at Madrid - was secured by Thierry Henry©s solo goal. His tally in the tournament stands at five and assuming he plays in El Madrigal, he will be chasing his 50th European goal in his 102nd appearance in UEFA club competition. · Henry also netted in the 2-0 home success against Juventus in the quarter-final with Cesc Fabregas getting the other. Pirès the winner · Before the Madrid win, Arsenal©s last game in Spain had brought a 3-2 triumph at RC Celta de Vigo in the first knockout round of the 2003/04 tournament. Robert Pirès fired the winner after the hosts had twice cancelled out goals by Brazilian midfielder Edu. · Arsenal©s previous six matches in that country in UEFA club competition had brought five straight defeats and a draw. Unbeaten run · This term they are unbeaten in eleven games so far and have conceded just one goal away from home, Markus Rosenberg©s strike for AFC Ajax with 19 minutes remaining of the Matchday 2 fixture in the Amsterdam ArenA. That was the last time the Gunners© defence was breached. Two final defeats · Arsenal twice lost in the UEFA Cup Winners© Cup final to Spanish sides. Valencia were victors in 1979/80 and Real Zaragoza triumphed in the 1994/95 showpiece. The latter defeat came at the Parc des Princes in Paris, host city for this year©s UEFA Champions League final. Match facts · No Villarreal player has played every minute of the club©s UEFA Champions League campaign this season, including the third qualifying round. · Villarreal are the only club left in the competition who came through the qualifying rounds. · Villarreal©s Argentinian defender Gonzalo Rodríguez is ruled out for the season with an ankle injury and will miss out on the FIFA World Cup finals. · No one in the squad has played every minute of the eleven matches in the competition proper. Last Updated 24.4.2006 00:47:55CET uefa.com 2 Villarreal CF v Arsenal FC MATCH PRESS KIT · Rodolfo Arruabarrena made his half-century of appearances in UEFA club competition in the first leg at Highbury. · Juan Román Riquelme is three matches away from his 50th appearance in UEFA club competition, meaning he cannot reach the milestone this season. · Alessio Tacchinardi played his 100th game in UEFA club competition, and 75th in the UEFA Champions League, on Matchday 7. He is by far the most experienced player in the Villarreal squad. · Tacchinardi extended his loan deal from Juventus for another season after the first leg in England. · Tacchinardi has been on the losing side in three UEFA Champions League finals (1997, 1998 and 2003). He did enjoy success with Juve in the 1995/96 season but did not play in the final. · Tacchinardi will miss the second leg after his caution at Highbury. It is his second suspension of the European season. However, Sebastián Viera will return after sitting out the trip to Highbury for similar reasons. · Mariano Barbosa deputised in goal on Matchday 11. Before conceding at Highbury, he had played two UEFA Champions League matches this season, on Matchdays 4 and 5, and kept a clean sheet in both games. · After their cautions against Arsenal last time, Guillermo Franco and Riquelme have joined Marcos Senna and Juan Pablo Sorín in facing the threat of a one-match ban if they pick up a booking. Gonzalo is in a similar position but is ruled out through injury. · Antonio Guayre turned 26 on 23 April. · Only five different Villarreal players have found the net in the competition proper this season, with three players having scored twice - Arruabarrena, Riquelme and Diego Forlán. AC Milan have the same record while Arsenal have had eight scorers and FC Barcelona ten. · This is the sixth time there are two Spanish teams in the semi-finals of the European Champion Clubs© Cup since 1955. The first time was in 1958/59 when Real Madrid CF and Club Atlético de Madrid participated. In 1959/60, it was Madrid and Barcelona. In 1999/00, Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia reached the semi-final stage and Madrid and Valencia went on to play the final. In 2000/01, again Madrid and Valencia were in the semis and Valencia progressed to the final. · Villarreal have not only made history in reaching the semi-finals in their UEFA Champions League debut, but the town is also the second smallest to make it to this stage in the competition. Villarreal has 47,000 inhabitants and the only smaller town is Monte Carlo (AS Monaco FC), with 32,000. · Villarreal have become the fifth Spanish team to reach the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League after Madrid, Barcelona, RC Deportivo La Coruña and Valencia. · Villarreal's 2-0 league defeat by Real Sociedad de Fútbol on Saturday was only the second time they have been beaten without scoring at El Madrigal in the league this season, the other occasion was a 2-0 loss at the hands of FC Barcelona on 4 December.

Lazio v Villarreal CF MATCH OFFICIALS Referee Michael Weiner (GER) Assistant Referee Markus Scheibel (GER) Assistant Referee Olaf Blumenstein (GER) Fourth Referee Stefan Trautmann (GER) UEFA Delegate Bernard Carrel (SUI) Referee Observer Muhittin Bosat (TUR) Reporter Francesco Corda (ITA) MATCH BACKGROUND Though Italian and Spanish clubs have met on a regular basis in UEFA club competitions since 1955, it is the first time that both S.S. Lazio and Villarreal CF have met each other. Vast experience A Spanish club provided the opposition for Lazio’s finest achievement, when, coached by Sven-Göran Eriksson, they won the last UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup in 1998/99 with a 2-1 win over RCD Mallorca at Villa Park. This will be the 12th game between Lazio and Spanish clubs in UEFA club competitions and Lazio have four wins, five defeats and two draws from the previous matches. The 2003/04 Coppa Italia winners have made a resolute start to this season’s campaign with two 3-0 wins over Ukrainian club FC Metalurh Donetsk to reach the group stage. Strong impression Villarreal made a strong impression in last season’s UEFA Cup, reaching the semi-finals before losing to the eventual winners Valencia CF 1-0 on aggregate with only a Mista penalty separating the sides. On their way to the latter stages, Villarreal met AS Roma in the fourth round winning 3-2 on aggregate after Sonny Anderson won the tie with a goal in a 2-1 defeat at the Stadio Olimpico.

  • Sevilla FC - LOSC Lille Métropole KIT DE PRENSA
    Sevilla FC - LOSC Lille Métropole KIT DE PRENSA Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán, Sevilla Miércoles, 15 de marzo de 2006 - 21:00 hora local Octavos de final - Jornada 11 El Sevilla FC debe remontar el resultado adverso de la ida de octavos de final de la Copa de la UEFA si no quiere repetir la misma historia que la pasada campaña: la eliminación a manos del LOSC Lille Métropole. Geoffrey Dernis marcó en el saque de un córner en el Villeneuve d'Ascq, con lo que los hombres entrenados por Claude Puel partirán con cierta ventaja al comienzo de la vuelta. •Pese a haber jugado 50 partidos en competiciones europeas y haber debutado hace otros 50 años, el Sevilla sólo se ha enfrentado una vez ante un rival francés. La pasada temporada quedó emparejado precisamente con el Lille en la fase de grupos de la UEFA, donde perdió por 1-0 en terreno galo gracias a un gol a los 77 minutos de Matt Moussilou. El Lille acabaría siendo primero de grupo por delante del Sevilla, que fue segundo. •Un año más tarde, el Lille, uno de los tres equipos vivos en la Copa de la UEFA, volvió a ganar en el Sánchez-Pizjuán. Este año esperan repetir la hazaña y acabar con el gafe de los equipos galos en la competición, pues hay clubes franceses campeones de la Copa de Europa y la Copa Intertoto de la UEFA, pero ninguno ha conquistado la UEFA. •El desafío del Lille en el Grupo D de la Champions comenzó de forma discreta, logrando sólo dos puntos en sus partidos ante el SL Benfica, el Villarreal CF y el Manchester United FC.

Previous meetings • Adrián López’s added-time finish earned Villarreal a 1-0 win in the home leg, which was the sides' first competitive meeting. • The teams played a pre-season friendly in 2008, drawing 0-0 at El Madrigal. • Liverpool's 33 UEFA games against Spanish opposition have ended W13 D10 L10 (W4 D6 L5 at Anfield – W7 D4 L5 in Spain). Those matches include two final victories on neutral territory: 1-0 against Real Madrid CF in the 1981 European Champion Clubs' Cup and 5-4 after extra time against Deportivo Alavés in the 2001 UEFA Cup. • Villarreal's record in 14 UEFA fixtures against English clubs reads W4 D6 L4 (W3 D4 L1 at home – W1 D2 L3 in England). They were without a victory in their last ten encounters with Premier League opponents going into the first leg of this tie.
