Uefa Champions League UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE - 2015/16 SEASON MATCH PRESS KITS (First leg: 1-3) Stade Louis II - Monaco Tuesday 25 August 2015 AS Monaco FC 20.45CET (20.45 local time) Valencia CF Play-off, Second leg Last updated 24/08/2015 09:27CET UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE OFFICIAL SPONSORS Match background 2 Legend 3 1 AS Monaco FC - Valencia CF Tuesday 25 August 2015 - 20.45CET (20.45 local time) Match press kit Stade Louis II, Monaco Match background Conceding a late third goal at Valencia in the play-off first leg has ramped up the pressure as AS Monaco bid to keep alive their hopes of making it back into the UEFA Champions League this season. Previous meetings • French-born Sofiane Feghouli delivered the final blow in the first leg, his 86th-minute strike completing a 3-1 win for Valencia after Mario Pašalić had briefly levelled for the visitors. • Under Bernardino Pérez (aka Pasieguito), holders Valencia beat Gérard Banide's Monaco 5-3 on aggregate in the 1980/81 European Cup Winners' Cup first round – the sides' only previous official encounters. • The teams also met in a friendly at London's Arsenal Stadium on 2 August 2014, drawing 2-2, with Lucas Ocampos equalising nine minutes from time for Monaco. • Valencia last visited the Stade Louis II in 2004 when the then UEFA Cup holders overcame European champions Porto 2-1 in the UEFA Super Cup under Claudio Ranieri. Form guide • Monaco have lost just one of their last 11 European home games at the Stade Louis II (W6 D4 L1), Arsenal – under former Monaco boss Arsène Wenger – earning a 2-0 victory in last season's UEFA Champions League round of 16. • Valencia have lost their last two European away matches without scoring, but have yet to lose a two-legged UEFA qualifying tie. • Monaco have lost only once in eight competitive home games against Spanish sides (W4 D3 L1), going down 1-0 to a Hristo Stoichkov strike for Barcelona in the 1993/94 UEFA Champions League group stage. • Valencia have an impressive away record in France: W4 D5 L1. They are unbeaten in nine fixtures on French soil since yielding 2-1 to Nantes on their first trip, in the semi-final of the 1979/80 European Cup Winners' Cup. • Both teams are contesting the UEFA Champions League play-offs for the first time. Monaco featured in last term's group stage, while Valencia are looking to return to the group phase after a two-season absence. Links and trivia • Both clubs have Portuguese coaches – Nuno Espírito Santo for Valencia and Leonardo Jardim for Monaco – and there are plenty of other Portuguese links between them. • Valencia's João Cancelo (2014–15), André Gomes (2012–15), Enzo Pérez (2011–15), Rodrigo Moreno (2010–15) and Monaco's Ivan Cavaleiro (2013–15), Bernardo Silva (2013–15) and Hélder Costa (2014–) previously rubbed shoulders at Benfica. • Cancelo, Cavaleiro and Silva also reached the UEFA European Under-21 Championship final with Portugal this summer. • One of Valencia's most celebrated successes came against French opponents: Rafael Benítez's men saw off Marseille 2-0 in the 2004 UEFA Cup final in Gothenburg. • Valencia's Lucas Orbán (Bordeaux 2013–14) and French-born winger Sofiane Feghouli (Grenoble 2007–10) both have Ligue 1 experience, while Monaco's Fabinho (Real Madrid 2013), Ricardo Carvalho (Real Madrid 2010–13), Mario Pašalić (Elche 2014–15) and Jérémy Toulalan (Málaga 2011–13) have played club football in Spain. 2 AS Monaco FC - Valencia CF Tuesday 25 August 2015 - 20.45CET (20.45 local time) Match press kit Stade Louis II, Monaco Legend ALL-TIME STATISTICS The all-time record of the competing clubs in UEFA club competition.

  • Gabriel Paulista
    GABRIEL PAULISTA: EQUIPOS: Vitoria, Villarreal, Arsenal, Valencia LIGA 1ª: 30 partidos (18/30 19/) COPA: 6 partidos (18) TOTAL: 36 partidos Lo primero que quizá haya que advertir es que Paulista no es un apellido, sino el adjetivo que en Brasil añaden a los que nacieron en Sao Paulo; como ocurría con Marcelinho Carioca (de Rio) o Fernando Baiano (de Bahía). El jugador se llama de verdad Gabriel Armando de Abreu (1990) y es un defensa central longilíneo que siempre parece enfadado sobre la hierba. Su posición no es la idónea para optar a Míster Simpatía –fuera del campo dicen que es un tipo encantador; y desde luego sale sonriente en todas las fotos‐ y a lo mejor sólo se trata de expresión concentrada, pero cuadra con la que parece su concepción del fútbol: un juego en el que unos se dedican a lanzar pelotas y otros, entre los que se cuenta, las interceptan. No significa que no sepa manejarla, pero da la sensación de que no le gusta. Sólo de vez en cuando se anima a dar unas zancadas al frente –los comentaristas lo llaman salir de la cueva, como si los centrales fuesen trogloditas‐ pero acaba por pasarla sin ir más allá. Por lo demás resulta un defensa de fiar, a quien sólo se le cruza un cable muy de cuando en cuando; que gustó mucho en Villarreal, algo menos en Londres hasta que una lesión lo mermó y que aquí parece sólidamente instalado sin contradicción de la grada. GAGO, Fernando: EQUIPOS: Boca Juniors, Real Madrid, Roma, Valencia, Vélez Sarsfield, Boca Juniors LIGA 1ª: 18 partidos (13/13) COPA: 1 partido (13) EUROPA: 4 partidos (13) TOTAL: 18 partidos Cuando los dorsales indicaban posiciones algunos se preguntaban porque el número 5 valía por defensa central.

    'Very knowledgeable' Pep Guardiola will be a success at Manchester City, says Rafa Benitez 22:30, 20 Feb 2016 By Neil Moxley The former Real Madrid boss spoke in glowing terms of the soon-to-be City manager who he met during their respective spells at Valencia and Barcelona Getty Images Driven: Benitez says Guardiola's will to win will see him succeed at the Etihad Pep Guardiola will bring a new focus and a drive to win at Manchester City. Most importantly of all however, he will also bring success. That was the verdict of Rafael Benitez as his attentions turned back to English football this week after his European adventure ended. A two-season spell with Napoli - which contained an Italian Cup win - was followed by the realisation of a dream with Real Madrid. Sadly for Benitez – despite a glut of goals – he was sacked for reasons that have never become clear On Sunday, as he passes verdict on the FA Cup showdown at Stamford Bridge, he salutes the job done by Manuel Pellegrini but suggests also that the Chilean’s replacement is worth the hype. Getty Images High praise: Benitez credited the work done by Manuel Pellegrini at Man City He said: “Pellegrini is a very good manager – and a nice person as well. What Guardiola does or doesn’t do will not change that fact. “I have a lot of respect for Pellegrini. Manchester City have won trophies under him. Let’s not forget that. “As for Guardiola, I first met him a few years ago when Barcelona were playing at Valencia.
