The places in the UEFA Champions League knockout rounds are beyond the reach of both APOEL FC and Club Atlético de Madrid but there is still much to play for as the teams meet in Nicosia with a ticket to the UEFA Europa League at stake. • Atlético will hope that a hitherto disappointing Group D campaign will flare belatedly into life over their remaining two games to maintain their slender lead over the Cyprus club. They regained some confidence in a 2-2 draw with Chelsea FC on Matchday 4. Sergio Agüero's second goal of the game, a fine free-kick in added time, earned the Spanish side, under new coach Quique Sánchez Flores, only their second point of the campaign. • On the same night APOEL lost for the second time at home, succumbing to Falcao's strike as FC Porto completed home-and-away victories against the Cypriot champions. It left APOEL at the foot of the table with just a single point, obtained against Atlético in Spain on Matchday 1. Previous meetings

• It was a solid start for APOEL in their debut UEFA Champions League campaign as Ivan Jovanović's side produced a disciplined defensive display at the Vicente Calderón to earn an unexpected 0-0 draw, although Diego Forlán went close in the final moments, striking the crossbar with a thunderous effort from 25 metres. • That game was Atlético's first against a team from Cyprus in a competitive fixture while APOEL had previously played six games against Spanish opposition, drawing two and losing four. • Their worst defeat was an 8-0 reverse at RC Deportivo La Coruña in the 1995/96 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup first round second leg. The home leg ended goaless while a 2-2 draw was the outcome when APOEL played host to RCD Espanyol in the 1996/97 UEFA Cup first round. • Their other home game, a first round UEFA Cup tie in 2003/04, ended in a 2-1 home defeat at the hands of RCD Mallorca with a 4-2 victory for the Spanish side in the return. Marinos Satsias, Constantinos Charalambides and Michalis Morfis were all involved in those games. Match background • After three wins and four draws in their first seven away games in the UEFA Champions League proper, Atlético have encountered contrasting form on their travels this season. They lost 2-0 at Porto on Matchday 2 and 4-0 at Chelsea three weeks later. • APOEL have lost both their home games in the section but in qualifying they won all three of their matches in Cyprus, defeating EB/Streymur (3-0), FK Partizan (2-0) and FC København (3-1). • This season's home results follow the trend set by APOEL in previous European campaigns. In the UEFA Cups of 2000/01, 2003/04, 2005/06 and 2008/09, home defeats in the first round contributed to their eliminations. They did defeat Grazer AK 2-0 in the 2002/03 UEFA Cup first round first leg, winning 3-1 on aggregate, but in the next stage lost 1-0 at home to Hertha BSC Berlin and bowed out 4-0 overall. • Only two Spanish sides have ever lost in Cyprus. The national team suffered a surprise 3-2 defeat there in a UEFA EURO 2000™ qualifier in Larnaca while Athletic Club Bilbao went down 2-0 at Anorthosis Famagusta FC in the 1994/95 UEFA Cup first round. Team ties • Atlético's Tomáš Ujfaluši played for the Czech Republic against Cyprus in a 4-3 friendly win on 13 February 2002 at Nicosia's GSP Stadium. He was also involved in a 1-0 Czech victory against Cyprus in Liberec in a UEFA EURO 2008™ qualifier on 28 March 2007. • Simão came on as an 80th-minute substitute in Portugal's 3-1 win against Cyprus in a FIFA World Cup qualifier on 5 October 2001 at the Antonis Papadopoulos Stadium, Larnaca. • Diego Forlán played at APOEL's GSP Stadium for Manchester United FC during the 2002/03 UEFA Champions League when the ground was being used by Israeli side Maccabi Haifa FC. Forlán's team lost 3-0. • Four members of the APOEL squad have previously played in Spain: Adrian Sikora (Real Murcia CF 2008/09), Kamil Kosowski (Cádiz CF 2008/09), Hélio Pinto (Sevilla FC B 2004/05) and Nenad Mirosavljević (Cádiz CF, 2004 to 2006).

APOEL FC: Ivan Jovanović Date of birth: 8 July 1962 Nationality: Serbian Playing career: FK Dojnica, FK Rad, Iraklis FC Coaching career: Niki Volou FC, Iraklis FC, APOEL FC, Panachaiki GE, Iraklis, APOEL • Born in Dojnica in what was then Yugoslavia, Ivan Jovanović joined his hometown club in 1972 and stayed there for the next ten years before moving on to FK Rad. Five seasons and 15 goals in 121 league appearances later, he opted to try his luck in Greece with Iraklis FC. • The midfielder was an instant success in Salonika, going on to feature in 271 league games for Iraklis – scoring an impressive 52 goals – before hanging up his boots in 1999. • A move into coaching followed in 2001/02, Jovanović taking charge of Niki Volou FC and steering them to promotion to the Greek third division before returning to Iraklis as coach. • Jovanović took over at APOEL in 2003, leading the Cypriot club to the league title in his first season before being lured back to Greece, first by Panachaiki GE and then by Iraklis again. • A return to APOEL followed in January 2008, that season ending with victory in the Cypriot Cup. The league title followed again a year later, before APOEL overcame EB/Streymur, FK Partizan and FC København to become only the second Cypriot club to reach the UEFA Champions League group stage.

Club Atlético de Madrid: Quique Sánchez Flores Date of birth: 2 February, 1965 Nationality: Spanish Playing career: Valencia CF, Real Madrid CF, Real Zaragoza Coaching career: Real Madrid CF (youth coach), Getafe CF, Valencia CF, SL Benfica, Club Atlético de Madrid • Enjoyed some success as a player at Valencia, Madrid – where he won the Liga title in 1994/95 – and Zaragoza and made 15 international appearances for Spain before becoming a media pundit. • Turned his hand to coaching in 2003, leading Madrid to the youth title before moving across the city to newly promoted senior side Getafe who enjoyed an impressive campaign, finishing 13th in 2004/05. • Having spent ten years as a player at Valencia, Quique Flores was a popular choice to succeed Claudio Ranieri and duly took over at Mestalla in summer 2005. The signing of David Villa from Zaragoza proved inspired, the striker's 25 league goals helping Valencia finish third. • The Spanish club went on to reach the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals in 2006/07 but a poor start to the following campaign cost Quique Flores his job in October 2007. • Took charge of Benfica in May 2008 and led the Lisbon giants to third place in the Portuguese Liga in what proved his only season in charge. He left in June 2009 and was appointed Atlético coach four months later following the dismissal of Abel Resino.

• UEFA Champions League: Group stage milestones Holders FC Barcelona are looking to avoid becoming the first defending champions to fail to get through a group stage since the UEFA Champions League began. (This record, like the others, includes the seasons between 1999/00 and 2002/03 that featured a second group stage). In 1992/93, Barcelona were the reigning European Champion Clubs' Cup holders and were beaten 4-3 on aggregate in the second round by PFC CSKA Moskva. S.S. Lazio goalkeeper Marco Ballotta became the oldest player to compete in the UEFA Champions League in 2007/08 when he featured against Olympiacos CFP on Matchday 1 at the age of 43 years and 168 days. The record was previously held by Alessandro Costacurta, the AC Milan defender who played against AEK Athens FC in the 2006/07 season at the age of 40 years and 211 days. Ballotta was aged 43 years 252 days when he featured against Real Madrid CF on Matchday 6. Laurent Blanc is the oldest player to score in the competition, aged 36 years and 339 days, having found the net for Manchester United FC in their 3-2 defeat of Olympiacos CFP on 23 October 2002. Celestine Babayaro is the youngest player to have appeared in the UEFA Champions League. He was 16 years and 87 days when he started for RSC Anderlecht against FC Steaua Bucureşti on 23 November 1994. He was then sent off in the 37th minute. Barcelona, Manchester United and Milan have all finished as group winners on ten occasions, one more than Real Madrid and Juventus. Four teams have recorded six successive victories in a UEFA Champions League group stage: Milan (1992/93), Paris Saint-Germain FC (1994/95), FC Spartak Moskva (1995/96) and Barcelona (2002/03, first group stage). In 2006/07, PFC Levski Sofia joined 1. FC Košice in being the only team to have played in the UEFA Champions League and never picked up a point. The Slovakian side have not returned to the competition since losing all six games in their only campaign to date in 1997/98. Six other teams have gone through a single group stage campaign without picking up a point: FC Dynamo Kyiv (2007/08), SK Rapid Wien (2005/06) and RSC Anderlecht (2004/05) plus Spartak Moskva and (2002/03, first and second group stage respectively) and Fenerbahçe SK (2001/02, first group stage). Manchester United scored 20 goals in the 1998/99 group stage, more than any other side has managed. Barcelona scored 19 times in the 1999/2000 first group stage. Dynamo conceded 19 goals in their six outings in 2007/08, equalling the record let in during a group stage set by Ferencvárosi TC in the 1995/96 campaign. No team has ever gone through a UEFA Champions League group stage without conceding a goal. Milan (1992/93), AFC Ajax (1995/96), Juventus (1996/97 and 2004/05), Chelsea FC (2005/06), Liverpool FC (2005/06) and Villarreal CF (2005/06) all let in just one. Before their 3-1 win against Sporting Clube de Portugal on Matchday 6 of the 2006/07 campaign, FC Spartak Moskva went 22 games without a victory in the competition, surpassing the unwanted record set by AEK Athens FC on Matchday 3 of the same campaign. The lowest total for a team qualifying from the group stage is seven points. The first to do it, since three points for a win was introduced in 1995/96, were Legia Warszawa that same season before Bayer Leverkusen managed it in 1999/2000 and Liverpool in 2001/02. FC Lokomotiv Moskva and eventual finalists Juventus both progressed with seven points in 2002/03, a feat achieved by Rangers FC and Werder Bremen in 2005/06.
