Previous meetings • It was on 21 October 2009 that the clubs met for the first time in Moscow, where United's Antonio Valencia scored the only goal after 86 minutes. • The lineups at the Luzhniki Stadium were: CSKA: Akinfeev, Semberas, Ignashevich, A Berezutski, V Berezutski, Odiah, Rahimić (Carvalho 90), Schennikov (Mamaev 62), Krasić, Dzagoev, Necid (Piliev 73). Man United: Van der Sar, Neville, Ferdinand (Brown 57), Vidić, Fábio (Carrick 88), O'Shea, Valencia, Scholes (Owen 71), Anderson, Nani, Berbatov. • Valencia got a 92nd-minute equaliser as United came from 3-1 down to draw 3-3 when the teams met at Old Trafford on 3 November. Vasili Berezutski and Alan Dzagoev were among the scorers for CSKA. It was the second match as CSKA coach for Leonid Slutski, who led them to second place in the group behind United. Match background CSKA • Slutski's men are unbeaten at home in this term's competition having drawn with AC Sparta Praha (2-2) and beaten Sporting Clube de Portugal (3-1) in the qualifying rounds, then overcome PSV 3-2 on matchday two. • CSKA came from two goals down on 21 October last year to hold United's neighbours Manchester City FC 2-2 at home, with Seydou Doumbia and Bibras Natcho (penalty) the scorers. Doumbia then struck both goals in CSKA's 2-1 win in Manchester – their first on English soil. • Igor Akinfeev, Sergei Ignashevich and Aleksei Berezutski played in CSKA's first visit to England, a 2-0 defeat at Chelsea FC on 20 October 2004. Manchester United • United have lost their last three away games in the UEFA Champions League proper, although they did win 4-0 at Club Brugge KV in the play-offs. • United have won only one of seven matches, home and away, against Russian opposition. • Ryan Giggs, their assistant manager, was in the United team beaten in a penalty shoot-out by FC Torpedo Moskva on the club's first visit to Moscow for a 1992/93 UEFA Cup first-round tie (aggregate 0-0). • United won their third European Cup at Moscow's Luzhniki Stadium in 2008, beating Chelsea on penalties in a match which Wayne Rooney and Michael Carrick started. • Rooney is the only survivor of United's 2-1 defeat by FC Zenit in the 2008 UEFA Super Cup. Coach and player links • As a Sparta Rotterdam player in the 1983/84 UEFA Cup third round, Louis van Gaal lost 2-0 at FC Spartak Moskva (aggregate 1-3), albeit in a match played in Tbilisi. • As a coach Van Gaal beat FC Lokomotiv Moskva with FC Barcelona in the 2002/03 UEFA Champions League first group stage (3-1 a, 1-0 h); with AZ Alkmaar he overcame PFC Krylya Sovetov Samara on away goals in the 2005/06 UEFA Cup first round (3-5 a, 3-1 h) and drew 1-1 at Zenit in the 2007/08 UEFA Cup group stage. • Zoran Tošić made five substitute appearances for United from 2009–10. • Ashley Young played in Aston Villa FC's 1-1 home draw with CSKA in the 2008/09 UEFA Cup round of 32 – but did not feature in the second-leg defeat in Moscow. • Matteo Darmian lost 3-1 at CSKA with US Città di Palermo in the 2010/11 UEFA Europa League group stage. • Marcos Rojo spent 2011/12 with Spartak Moskva. • In June 2005, Bastian Schweinsteiger scored twice in a 2-2 draw between Germany and a Russia side including the Berezutski brothers. Schweinsteiger played in FC Bayern München's home wins over CSKA in the UEFA Champions League group stage in 2013/14 and 2014/15. • Marouane Fellaini was in the Belgium side that earned a 1-0 victory over the Russia of Vasili Berezutski, Akinfeev 4 PFC CSKA Moskva - Manchester United FC Wednesday 21 October 2015 - 20.45CET (21.45 local time) Match press kit Arena Khimki, Khimki and Ignashevich at the 2014 FIFA World Cup. • Rooney scored in Moscow for England but finished on the losing side as a Russia side including the Berezutskis and Ignashevich won 2-1 in a UEFA EURO 2008 qualifier. • Players who have played together: Pontus Wernbloom & Sergio Romero (AZ Alkmaar, 2009–11) Match facts CSKA • CSKA are six games unbeaten (W5 D1) since their matchday one defeat. • Wernbloom's goal in the 2-0 success at FC Dinamo Moskva on 4 October was his first since the final day of last season. He scored again to beat Ural 3-2 on Saturday. • Doumbia has scored seven goals in his last six outings for club and country. • Akinfeev has conceded a goal in each of his last 33 UEFA Champions League appearances, qualifying included. His last clean sheet in the competition came when CSKA drew 0-0 at Arsenal FC on 1 November 2006. Manchester United • United's run of four successive wins ended when they lost 3-0 to Arsenal FC on 4 October.

What happened on 29 May 1985 at the Heysel stadium in Brussels was the darkest hour in the history of the UEFA competitions. Disaster struck the final of the Champion Clubs’ Cup between Juventus and Liverpool before a ball had even been kicked, leaving 39 spectators dead and injuring many more during what should have been a celebration of football. Whilst this tragedy could have called into question the future of the major European football competitions, particularly the Champion Clubs’ Cup, it soon became clear that defeatism was not the best way to pay tribute to the victims.

Более подробные фактологические данные и турнирная статистика содержатся в наборе для прессы по туру. Его можно найти по следующей ссылке: http://ru.uefa.com/uefa/mediaservices/presskits/index.html История противостояния "Ювентус" после двух подряд побед над мадридским "Реалом" уже обеспечил себе место в плей-офф Лиги чемпионов УЕФА, так что во время матча с "Зенитом" основное внимание будет уделяться российскому клубу, который постарается набрать три очка и опередить "королевский клуб" в борьбе за второе место в группе H. • Чтобы шансы россиян на это повысились, они должны обыграть "Ювентус", а "Реал" в гостях уступить БАТЭ. Пока что единственная победа сине-бело-голубых в турнире - в предыдущем туре над борисовским клубом - добавила им настроения. Так что питерцы полны решимости одержать вторую. Им должен помочь тот факт, что "Ювентус" уже обеспечил путевку в следующий раунд и может позволить себе слегка расслабиться. • Два прекрасных гола Алессандро Дель Пьеро в каждом из таймов позволили туринцам в 4-м туре соревнования добиться успеха на "Сантьяго Бернабеу". Эта победа стала для команды Клаудио Раньери второй подряд над "Реалом". В самом начале матча Дель Пьеро играючи разобрался с неуверенно действовавшей обороной "галактикос", а в середине второй половины встречи он забил эффектный гол со штрафного.

However, EURO 2008 convinced me that it was a good idea. Once again, the tournament illustrated the extraordinary passion generated by national team football and gave rise to such a fantastic party atmosphere that I felt it was only right for the tournament to be extended to more countries, to let even more supporters take part and to spread the excitement and party atmosphere far and wide across the continent. I also felt that the emotion of the tournament should be heightened by adding a direct knockout round for the last 16 in the competition and by ensuring that all the group matches, or the vast majority of them at least, would be crucial, by allowing the best third-placed teams through to the next round. The quality of the matches we saw during EURO 2008 also confirmed the high technical level of European football, and teams like England, Scotland and IN THIS ISSUE Denmark, or even Serbia and Ukraine – to name but a few – would certainly not UEFA Cup groups 03 have reduced the quality of the tournament.

The Boston Breakers find themselves right in the mix. The longest-running professional women’s soccer team in U.S. history, the Breakers have roots dating back more than a decade. The franchise was established in 2000, debuting in the Women’s United Soccer Association (WUSA) in 2001. The Breakers competed for three seasons in WUSA before the league folded. When Women’s Professional Soccer (WPS) was formed in the fall of 2007, the Breakers joined the league and began play when WPS officially launched its first season in 2009. The Breakers played three seasons in WPS (2009-2011) before the league suspended operations in 2011. In their three WPS seasons, the Breakers reached the playoffs twice. In 2012, the Breakers played in the eight-team WPSL Elite League, which featured eight teams from the Midwest and up and down the East Coast. The Breakers won the regular season championship with an 11-3 record.

  • Globalization and the Concentration of Money and Success in European Football
    Financial Inequality among Firms: Globalization and the Concentration of Money and Success in European Football Stefan Leggey Steffen L¨ohrz June 14, 2019 Abstract Football has an enormous following in Europe with more than 100 million fans in the big five European markets alone and numerous more across the continent. It is also in- sightful from an economics point of view. At the core, it represents a market in which all firms compete domestically and a small subset of them sells its products and services on an international market as well. Furthermore, football is characterized by workers of dif- ferent skill level, the best of which are highly mobile across countries. In the present study, we examine two features of this market. Using a novel data set, we first document the large and increasing financial inequality among European football clubs. Subsequently, we show how strongly the inequality in financial means correlates with clubs' performance and results. JEL Classification: firm inequality, football, labor mobility Keywords: F22, J44, J61, L83 y Stefan Legge, University of St.Gallen, Department of Economics, SIAW Institute, Bodanstrasse 8, CH- 9000 St.Gallen, Switzerland.

(e-mail: steff[email protected]) 1 Introduction Football is more popular than any other sport in the world. According to Nielsen, more than forty percent of people 16 or older in major population centers around the world consider themselves interested or highly interested in following football.1 However, football is not only interesting for fans but also for economists.
