Bayer 04 Leverkusen: Robin Dutt Date of birth: 24 January 1965 Nationality: German Playing career: SpVgg Hirschlanden, TSV Korntal (twice), TSV Münchingen, FV Zuffenhausen, SKV Rutesheim, TSG Leonberg Coaching career: TSG Leonberg (player-coach), TSF Ditzingen, (reserves), Stuttgarter Kickers, SC Freiburg, Bayer 04 Leverkusen • One of the new breed of German coaches whose second career has eclipsed modest playing days, Dutt rose through the ranks of several clubs in southern Germany as he methodically learned his trade. • From 1995 to 1999 he was player-coach at non-league Leonberg, whom he led to promotion before taking over Ditzingen's reserves, becoming coach of their first team, then in the fourth tier, in 2000. Two years later accepted the offer to take charge of the reserve side of former Bundesliga outfit Stuttgarter Kickers, stepping up to the third tier and the first team a year later. • Awarded the UEFA Pro Licence as top of his class in 2005, the same year he guided Stuttgarter Kickers to the first of successive victories in the regional Württemberg Cup. Thus qualified for the first round of the national trophy, his side duly knocked out Hamburger SV in September 2006. • Having already been linked with several higher-profile clubs, Dutt took over Freiburg in summer 2007, finishing fifth in the 2. Bundesliga in his first season before winning the division, and promotion to the top flight, a year later. • Took Freiburg to 14th position in the Bundesliga in 2009/10 and led the club to sixth place at the halfway stage of the following campaign; they eventually finished ninth, earning Dutt the chance to take charge of Leverkusen.

Chelsea FC: André Villas-Boas Date of birth: 17 October 1977 Nationality: Portuguese Coaching career: A. Académica de Coimbra, FC Porto, Chelsea FC • An amateur player in his teens with Ramaldense FC and Clube Marechal Gomes da Costa, Villas-Boas never played professional football, laying the groundwork for a coaching career with a spell as a teenage talent scout during Sir Bobby Robson's spell as coach of Porto in the mid-1990s. • Still in his 20s, he took on a role as technical director with the British Virgin Islands Football Association in 2000, but was back working with Porto's youth players by the time José Mourinho took him into his inner circle following his appointment as Porto coach in January 2002. • Initially detailed to scout upcoming opponents, he followed 'The Special One' from success to success at Porto, Chelsea and FC Internazionale Milano before striking out on his own as coach of Académica in October 2009. • An 11th-placed finish in his only season in Coimbra was enough to persuade Porto to bring him in as Jesualdo Ferreira's replacement; hired in June 2010, he became the club's youngest ever coach aged just 32. • Oversaw a memorable 2010/11 campaign at the Estádio do Dragão, becoming the first Portuguese to guide a side through a Liga campaign unbeaten, winning the Super Cup, national championship and Portuguese Cup as well as the UEFA Europa League after beating SC Braga in the Dublin final. He joined Chelsea on a three-year deal on 22 June 2011.

UEFA Champions League: Group stage milestones • Holders FC Barcelona have avoided 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 1999/2000 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. • No team has successfully defended the UEFA Champions League trophy with AC Milan (1989, 1990) the last club to win consecutive European Cups. Milan (1994, 1995), AFC Ajax (1995, 1996), Juventus (1996, 1997) and Manchester United (2008, 2009) have all returned to the UEFA Champions League final as holders only to lose. • 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 FC on matchday one 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 2006/07 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 six. • Ryan Giggs is the oldest player to score in the competition, aged 37 years and 289 days, in Manchester United's 1-1 draw at SL Benfica on 14 September 2011. • 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. • Peter Ofori-Quaye is the youngest player to have scored in the UEFA Champions League, aged 17 years and 195 days. He found the net in Olympiacos's 5-1 defeat at Rosenborg BK on 1 October 1997. • Barcelona and Manchester United FC have both finished as group winners on 12 occasions, one more than Real Madrid. • 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). • Twelve teams have gone through a UEFA Champions League group stage without picking up a single point, including MŠK Žilina and FK Partizan in 2010/11. The other ten are: Maccabi Haifa FC and Debreceni VSC (2009/10), FC Dynamo Kyiv (2007/08), PFC Levski Sofia (2006/07), SK Rapid Wien (2005/06), Anderlecht (2004/05), Spartak Moskva and Bayer 04 Leverkusen (2002/03, first and second group stage respectively), Fenerbahçe SK (2001/02, first group stage) and 1. FC Košice (1997/98). • 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. • MŠK Žilina conceded 19 goals in their six outings in 2010/11, equalling the record let in during a group stage set by Debrecen (2009/10), Dynamo Kyiv (2007/08) and Ferencvárosi TC in 1995/96. • 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), Villarreal CF (2005/06) and Manchester United (2010/11) all let in just one. • Before their 3-1 win against Sporting Clube de Portugal on matchday six of the 2006/07 campaign, Spartak Moskva went 22 games without a victory in the competition, surpassing the unwanted record set by AEK Athens FC on matchday three 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 FC Dynamo Kyiv and Bayer 04 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 SV Werder Bremen in 2005/06.
