Previous meetings • United came from behind to beat Basel 3-1 in the teams' first encounter in Switzerland on 26 November 2002. Ruud van Nistelrooy (2) and Ole Gunnar Solskjær hit three goals in seven second-half minutes after Christian Giménez's first-minute strike. • The lineups were: Basel: Zuberbühler, Atouba, Cantaluppi, Haas, M Yakin, Zwyssig, Chipperfield (Tum 73), Ergić (Barberis 84), H Yakin, Giménez, Rossi (Duruz 84). Man Utd: Barthez, O'Shea, Silvestre, Brown (May 90), P Neville, Fortune, Scholes, Verón, Giggs, Van Nistelrooy (Forlán 73), Solskjær (Chadwick 90). • Darren Fletcher made his United debut in the return at Old Trafford on 12 March 2003. Rio Ferdinand, Ryan Giggs and Scott Chipperfield also featured in the 1-1 draw, Gary Neville cancelling out another Giménez goal. United won that second group stage section with Christian Gross's Basel third, level on points with second-placed Juventus. Match background • The 2002/03 campaign was Basel's first taste of the last 16 and also the only time they have won more than one home game in a UEFA Champions League group – something they must repeat to snatch second place from United. • Basel drew 3-3 at Old Trafford in September – when only Ashley Young's late header denied them victory – but United are unbeaten in eight away games in the UEFA Champions League, a sequence that features six wins and seven clean sheets. • In Basel's last home meeting with English opposition they lost their decisive final UEFA Europa League group game against Fulham FC 3-2 in December 2009, when needing only a draw. Their overall home record against visitors from England is W2 D2 L3. Team ties • Sir Alex Ferguson achieved his biggest European victory when Aberdeen FC beat FC Sion 7-0 in the opening match of their triumphant 1982/83 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup campaign. They also won the return 4-1 in Switzerland. • Sir Alex's Aberdeen got the better of Servette FC in the 1985/86 European Champion Clubs' Cup second round, 1-0 on aggregate. However, his last European match before joining United was a 3-0 defeat at Sion, who eliminated Aberdeen 4-2 on aggregate in the 1986/87 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup first round. • Wayne Rooney scored England's opener in a 3-1 win in a UEFA EURO 2012 qualifier at Basel's St. Jakob-Park in September 2010. Xherdan Shaqiri replied for a Switzerland side including Alexander Frei and Marco Streller. • Young scored and Ferdinand also played when England drew 2-2 with Switzerland in the return at Wembley in June. Shaqiri and debutant Granit Xhaka were in the Swiss team. • Rooney scored twice against Switzerland in a UEFA EURO 2004 group match in Portugal; Michael Owen and Basel's Alexander Frei and Benjamin Huggel also featured. • David de Gea and Yann Sommer were in the opposing goals at the UEFA European Under-21 Championship final in June, De Gea's Spain winning 2-0 against a Switzerland team including Shaqiri and Xhaka. • Fletcher's Scotland beat Sandro Wieser's Liechtenstein 2-1 in a UEFA EURO 2012 qualifier in Glasgow in September 2010. • Nemanja Vidić was in the Serbia side beaten 2-1 by Chipperfield's Australia at the 2010 FIFA World Cup. • Alexander Frei scored for Switzerland in a 2-0 win that eliminated Park Ji-Sung's Korea Republic from the 2006 World Cup. • Park Joo-Ho made one Korea Republic appearance alongside Park Ji-Sung prior to the latter's international retirement. Last updated 06/12/11 00:21:52CET 4 Match background FC Basel 1893 - Manchester United FC Wednesday 7 December 2011 - 20.45CET (20.45 local time) MATCH PRESS KIT St. Jakob-Park, Basel Match facts Basel UEFA milestones • None UEFA Champions League statistics • Benjamin Huggel is the only player in this season's competition to have collected four yellow cards. • Huggel, Alexander Frei and Marco Streller are within a booking of a ban. Latest domestic information • Saturday 3 December: FC Basel 1893 1-0 FC Luzern (Streller 70) Colomba; Steinhöfer, Abraham, Dragović, Park (Degen 57); Shaqiri, Cabral, G Xhaka (Chipperfield 84), F Frei (Stocker 74); A Frei, Streller • Marco Streller scored his third goal in as many appearances as Basel beat the side that began the weekend second in the Super League, their ninth successive domestic victory. They have won 15 of their last 19 games in all competitions. • On 26 November, Philipp Degen (113) and Alexander Frei (117) struck as Basel, who had Yann Sommer sent off (59), came from behind to beat second-tier FC Wil 1900 3-2 after extra time in the Swiss Cup third round. • It was substitute Degen's first appearance for Basel since May 2005; last month he joined them until the end of the season after his contract with Liverpool FC was terminated in August.

Que de chemin parcouru. En 1970, il fallait pour présider ce nouveau club Neuchâtel Xamax FC, un homme neutre et neuf. Ce fut Gabriel Monachon, ancien joueur de Ligue Nationale. Il présida avec son sérieux légen- daire jusqu’en 1979. Sous sa présidence, le club fêtera un titre de Champion Suisse de Ligue Nationale B en 1973 et accèdera ainsi à la Ligue Nationale A. Puis ce fut la légende vivante du club, Gilbert Facchinetti qui lui suc- céda. Les efforts particuliers du président alliés à ceux de sa famille et de quelques amis, permirent aux « Rouge et Noir » de remporter 2 titres de Champion Suisse. C’est également pendant cette période glorieuse que Neuchâtel Xamax disputa quatre finales de Coupe Suisse et fit plusieurs et remarquées incursions en Coupe d’Europe. Et maintenant, le présent et l’avenir appartiennent au Président Sylvio Bernasconi, un homme courageux qui a sauvé le club du naufrage.
