Previous meetings • City came from two goals down to end Bayern's record ten-game run of UEFA Champions League wins on matchday six last term. It meant the teams finished level on points with Bayern top thanks to their preceding 3-1 win at City. • The lineups for that Munich encounter on 10 December 2013 were: Bayern: Neuer, Lahm, Dante, Boateng, Alaba, Thiago, Kroos, Ribéry, Müller, Götze (Martínez 55), Mandžukić (Shaqiri 68). Man City: Hart, Richards (Zabaleta 16), Kolarov, Lescott, Demichelis, Fernandinho, García, Milner, Silva (Negredo 73), Navas, Džeko (Rodwell 88). • City faced Bayern in the group stage of their debut UEFA Champions League campaign in 2011/12, losing 2-0 in Munich but winning 2-0 at home. Bayern won the group, with City third. Match background Bayern • The German title holders made a third consecutive UEFA Champions League semi-final appearance last term, losing to Real Madrid CF. • Bayern eliminated Arsenal (2-0a, 1-1h) in the last 16 and City's neighbours Manchester United FC (1-1a, 3-1h) in the quarter-finals. The second-leg win over United was the first victory in Bayern's last five matches with English opposition in Bavaria – including the 2012 final defeat against Frank Lampard's Chelsea FC. • Bayern's overall home record against English teams is W11 D6 L3. City • The Premier League winners reached the UEFA Champions League knockout stage for the first time in 2013/14, losing to FC Barcelona in the last 16. • They won all three away matches in the group stage, at FC Viktoria Plzeň (3-0), PFC CSKA Moskva (2-1) and Bayern (3-2). • Their overall record away to Bundesliga opposition is W2 D0 L5. • Joe Hart and Vincent Kompany are the only survivors of City's first win in Germany – 2-0 at an FC Schalke 04 side including Manuel Neuer – in the 2008/09 UEFA Cup group stage. Player links • Pep Guardiola and Manuel Pellegrini met as coaches of Barcelona and Real Madrid CF in 2009/10, Barça winning both matches (1-0h, 0-2a) as they beat Madrid to the title by three points. • With Villarreal in 2008/09, Pellegrini suffered a 2-1 home loss to Guardiola's Barcelona, but drew 3-3 away. With Málaga CF, the Chilean lost all four Liga games against Guardiola's Barça. • Pellegrini's Málaga – featuring Willy Caballero and Martín Demichelis – lost 3-2 on aggregate to Mario Götze and Robert Lewandowski's Borussia Dortmund in the 2012/13 UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, conceding two added-time goals in the second leg in Germany. • Neuer, Jérôme Boateng, Philipp Lahm, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Thomas Müller and match winner Götze all featured in Germany's 1-0 FIFA World Cup final win over Demichelis, Sergio Agüero and Pablo Zabaleta's Argentina. • Fernandinho and Dante were in the Brazil team beaten 7-1 by Germany in the semi-finals. • City's Argentinians beat Arjen Robben's Netherlands on penalties in the other semi-final. • Agüero hit the opening goal past Neuer when Argentina won a friendly rematch of the World Cup final 4-2 in Dusseldorf on 3 September. • David Silva and substitute Jesús Navas, along with Xabi Alonso, beat Arjen Robben's Netherlands 1-0 in the 2010 World Cup final. Robben helped the Dutch avenge that defeat with a 5-1 victory over Silva's Spain at the World Cup in June. • Bacary Sagna was in the Arsenal side beaten by Bayern in the 2012/13 and 2013/14 rounds of 16. • Yaya Touré played under Guardiola in the Barcelona team that beat Bayern 5-1 on aggregate in the 2008/09 2 FC Bayern München - Manchester City FC Wednesday 17 September 2014 - 20.45CET (20.45 local time) Match press kit Fußball Arena München, Munich quarter-finals. • Kompany was in the RSC Anderlecht team eliminated from the 2003/04 UEFA Champions League group stage after a 1-0 defeat at a Bayern side including Claudio Pizarro and Schweinsteiger. • Demichelis played for Bayern (2003-11); Boateng for City (2010/11). • Boateng and Kompany (Hamburger SV) were team-mates; so too Franck Ribéry, Medhi Benatia and Samir Nasri (Olympique de Marseille). Match facts Bayern • The 4-0 loss in last season's semi-final second leg against Real Madrid CF was Bayern's heaviest home defeat in European competition. • On 13 August Bayern lost 2-0 in the German Super Cup at Borussia Dortmund, with Javi Martínez sustaining a serious knee injury that will rule him out for at least six months. • Franck Ribéry, back after a knee problem, marked his first appearance of the season with a goal in Saturday's 2-0 win at home to VfB Stuttgart. • Holger Badstuber, out with a knee injury since December 2012, returned to first-team action on 17 August as Bayern won 4-1 at third tier SC Preussen Münster in the German Cup first round. He went off with a thigh problem on Saturday and faces another lengthy spell on the sidelines after it was diagnosed as a ruptured tendon. • Gianluca Gaudino, 17, became the fourth youngest player in Bayern history to feature in the Bundesliga as FCB kicked off their title defence with a 2-1 victory at home to VfL Wolfsburg on 22 August. Only David Alaba, Toni Kroos and Pierre Højbjerg were younger. • Bastian Schweinsteiger (knee), Rafinha (ankle) and Mitchell Weiser (ankle) are all yet to feature for Bayern this season while Thiago Alcántara (knee) has been out since the end of March.

Mario Götze was on target in a 4-2 friendly defeat by Argentina four days earlier. • Robert Lewandowski scored four goals as Poland opened their qualifying campaign with a 7-0 win against Gibraltar on 7 September. Pierre Højbjerg (Denmark 2-1 Armenia) and David Alaba (Austria 1-1 Sweden) were also on target. • Manuel Neuer, Jérôme Boateng, Philipp Lahm, Götze, Schweinsteiger and Müller were all in Germany's 2014 FIFA World Cup-winning squad, with Götze scoring the decisive goal in the final against Argentina. Lahm retired from international football after the World Cup; Schweinsteiger replaces him as skipper. • Neuer is the reigning German footballer of the year after taking the honour for the second time (after 2011) in August. Manchester City • Pablo Zabaleta is serving a one-game suspension following his red card in last season's round of 16 second leg against FC Barcelona. Manuel Pellegrini has a touchline ban. • Stevan Jovetić, who scored three league goals last term, was on target twice in a 3-1 home win against Liverpool FC on 25 August. • Sergio Agüero has struck four goals in five outings this season for club and country, and nine in his last 11 league games away from home. • City failed to score at home for only the second time in 71 matches when they lost 1-0 to Stoke City FC on 30 August. • Fernando, a summer signing from FC Porto, has not featured since picking up a groin injury against Stoke. • David Silva scored his first international goal since June 2013 as Spain defeated the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia 5-1 on 8 September. • Jovetić sustained a hamstring injury in training ahead of Montenegro's UEFA EURO 2016 qualifier against Moldova. • Frank Lampard, a scorer of 29 goals in 106 appearances for England, announced his retirement from international football in August.

    Allianz SE Group Communications Press Allianz Arena celebrates round birthday Ten years of dreams, goals and titles • 24 million viewers watched more than 470 games • Allianz Arena reaches 750 million households in 200 countries • Arena fans called to post their favourite moments It’s a stadium of superlatives. Ten years after its opening, the Allianz Arena presents an impressive bunch of numbers: 471 games, including 57 Champions League and UEFA Cup games, 1,318 goals, and six German championship wins by Bayern Munich. The Allianz Arena is a stadium that brings the audience close to the match on the field, an architectural masterpiece, and symbol of the city of Munich. "The arena annually attracts about four million visitors from all over the world and was venue of numerous international competitions the last ten years," says Dr. Christian Deuringer, Head of Global Brand Management at Allianz SE. "After such a successful decade we are looking forward to the next few years, especially as another major event in the Allianz Arena is coming up: the European Football Championship in 2020." The Allianz Arena, home of FC Bayern and 1860 Munich, reaches ten years of age a week after the end of the Bundesliga. After two years of construction the Allianz Arena the two opening games took place on May 30-31, 2005. Since then Philipp Lahm was on the field 205 times, making him the most selected player in the Allianz Arena. Top scorer is still Mario Gomez with 68 goals, but it was Roy Makaay who scored the fastest goal: just 10 seconds after kick-off in a Champions League game.

The poll, now in its sixth year, gives the users of uefa.com, Europe’s football website, the chance to select a team of players who made their mark in European football over the last 12 months. Sixty players and managers have been nominated for 12 positions, including coach, and the final team will be announced on 19 January 2007 on uefa.com and in the January issue of Champions magazine.

The uefa.com Team of the Year is not intended as a rival to more established awards, and does not bear the official UEFA imprimatur. Nevertheless, it has already proved hugely popular with fans, and over eight million votes have been cast in previous polls. European champions FC Barcelona have the most nominees with eleven, while UEFA Champions League runners-up Arsenal have seven. English champions Chelsea FC have received six nominations and French champions Olympique Lyonnais and UEFA Cup holders Sevilla FC have five apiece. In total, 19 clubs have players nominated.
