Previous meetings • A goal in each half, from Paco Alcácer – who had earlier missed a penalty – and his replacement Fer Niño, gave Villarreal victory at the Stadion Salzburg to extend their unbeaten run outside Spain in this competition to nine matches. • Before the first leg honours had been even between the clubs, with each having won two of the four matches and scored five goals. • Salzburg got the better of Villarreal in the 2009/10 UEFA Europa League group stage, beating them home (2-0) and away (1-0) as they topped the section with maximum points, but it was the Spanish side who prevailed when the teams re-encountered each other in the 2014/15 round of 32, winning 2-1 at home and 3-1 away. • Villarreal's other four games against Austrian teams have also come in the UEFA Europa League – all against Rapid Wien – with two home wins plus a draw and defeat in Austria. The most recent encounters came in the 2018/19 group stage, Villarreal winning 5-0 at home and drawing 0-0 in Vienna a fortnight later. • Having lost twice to Atlético in this season's UEFA Champions League – they also went down 3-2 in Madrid – Salzburg's record against Spanish clubs is now W4 D2 L11. In Spain it is W1 D2 L4, the one victory coming at Villarreal in 2009, though their most recent visit in the UEFA Europa League was also productive, an added-time equaliser earning them a 2-2 draw at Real Sociedad in the first leg of a 2017/18 round of 32 tie that they won 4-3 on aggregate en route to the semi-finals. Form guide Villarreal • Villarreal finished fifth in the 2019/20 Spanish Liga to return to Europe after a season's absence and participate in the UEFA Europa League group stage for a record-equalling eighth time. • The Spanish club, who have reached the UEFA Europa League semi-finals twice (in 2010/11 and 2015/16), have yet to finish outside the top two in their eight group campaigns and have now gone through as section winners four times. Unai Emery’s side won Group I at a canter this term, scoring 12 goals in winning their first three matches before sealing first place with a 1-0 win at Sivasspor on Matchday 5. • Villarreal have won four of their previous seven round of 32 ties. The victories came against Napoli in 2010/11 (0-0 a, 2-1 h) and 2015/16 (1-0 h, 1-1 a), Salzburg in 2014/15 and Sporting CP in 2018/19 (1-0 a, 1-1 h); the defeats were by Wolfsburg in 2009/10 (2-2 h, 1-4 a), Roma in 2016/17 (0-4 h, 1-0 a) and Lyon in 2017/18 (1-3 a, 0-1 h). • Villarreal's home record in the UEFA Europa League knockout phase is W10 D2 L4, the defeats all leading to elimination, including in each of their last three campaigns – against Roma, Lyon and, in the 2018/19 quarter-final, local rivals Valencia (1-3 h, 0-2 a). They have won none of their last three home games in the round of 32 (D1 L2). • On each of the nine occasions that Villarreal have won the first away leg of a European tie they have gone on to qualify, achieving the feat twice in succession in the 2018/19 UEFA Europa League knockout phase, against Sporting in the round of 32 and Zenit in the round of 16 (3-1 a, 2-1 h). They have never previously won the first away leg by a 2-0 scoreline. Salzburg • Salzburg were crowned champions of Austria for the seventh successive year in 2019/20, a season in which they also competed in the UEFA Champions League group stage for the first time in 25 years, finishing third in their section behind Liverpool and Napoli. • This season Salzburg returned to Europe's flagship club competition, ending a run of 13 successive eliminations in UEFA Champions League qualifying since their first group stage appearance in 1994/95 by overcoming Maccabi Tel- Aviv in the play-offs (2-1 a, 3-1 h). Marsch's men took four points off Lokomotiv Moskva (2-2 h, 3-1 a) but lost all four games to Atlético and Bayern (2-6 h, 1-3 a), finishing third once again.

    FC Steaua Bucuresti v Real Betis Balompié PRESS KIT Lia Manoliu, Bucharest Thursday, 9 March 2006 - 19:00 local time Round of 16 - Matchday 10 FC Steaua Bucuresti were undone by Spanish opposition at this stage of the UEFA Cup last season, but will be looking to avoid the same fate when they line up against Real Betis Balompié in the last 16. Almost 12 months ago to the day the Romanian side saw their hopes ended by Villarreal CF at El Madrigal as Argentinian playmaker Juan Román Riquelme led the home team to a 2-0 victory. •A 3-1 first-leg victory proved enough to see Steaua negotiate their way through their first knockout round tie against SC Heerenveen. Nicolae Dica, Dorin Goian and Sorin Paraschiv were all on target as Cosmin Olaroiu's team recovered from conceding an early Arnold Bruggink goal in the Netherlands and although Heerenveen pulled one goal back in Bucharest, it was Steaua that progressed. It was the continuation of some fine form in this competition by the former European champions, who breezed through the group stage after an unbeaten campaign that brought eight points, including comprehensive victories against RC Lens and Halmstads BK - both at home. •Betis were also indebted to a two-goal first-leg lead as they edged past AZ Alkmaar to secure a place in the last 32. Brazilian pair Diego Tardelli and Robert were both on target as late goals earned the side a significant advantage in Seville, which the Dutch team clawed back at the Alkmaarderhout to take the tie to extra time.

The Spanish side, making their first appearance in Europe for three years, are the top scorers in this season’s competition with 18 goals. • The Austrian club are competing in the knockout phase of this competition for the fifth time, having conceded just one goal and remained unbeaten in topping Group I. It was the fourth time they had won a UEFA Europa League group – a competition record. Previous meetings • An eventful first leg at the Anoeta ended with honours even courtesy of Japanese striker Takumi Minamino's added- time strike for Salzburg. The visitors had opened the scoring on 27 minutes through Mikel Oyarzabal's own goal, but second-half strikes from Álvaro Odriozola and Adnan Januzaj turned the match in favour of Real Sociedad – in their first fixture against Austrian opposition –until Minamino's late intervention. • Salzburg's record in 13 games against Spanish teams is W3 D2 L8. They have lost their last two home games against Liga sides, most recently in the 2014/15 round of 32 – the last time they reached this stage – when Villarreal defeated them 3-1 in Austria to complete a 5-2 aggregate triumph.

The eastern Europeans booked a return to the finals by bettering Turkey 2-1 on aggregate in a qualifying play-off. • The Belarus coach Yuri Kurnenin is suspended for the Sweden match having been sent off in the second leg of that play-off victory in Borisov. • Sweden, like Belarus, had their first experience of an eight-team final U21 tournament in 2004 and they did well, reaching the semi-finals.

The past two years have therefore been a rather intense period, as UEFA has had to implement the new structures while at the same time addressing current football issues and launching new projects. Both these tasks were far-reaching and voluminous. Among other challenges, UEFA had to help find a solution to the issue of international transfers, cope with the complex demands of organising competitions, define the format for the club competitions and defend the centralised marketing of the rights to the UEFA Champions League. In terms of projects, we launched the club licensing system, created our subsidiary UEFA New Media, set up a new structure for marketing opera- tions and moved forward with our study aimed at allowing the use of artificial-turf surfaces in UEFA competitions.

With his side trailing to a goal from Hakan Şükür, Larsson hit an 87th-minute equaliser, and Andreas Andersson grabbed a winner in added time. • Hakan Şükür has played in five games against Sweden, scoring twice. Four of those five games saw him playing opposite Larsson - who was an unused substitute in the other match. • In the four previous games in which the two legendary strikers have met, honours are even, with Sweden and Turkey winning a game each and the other two matches ending in draws. • Both strikers are now 36. Hakan Şükür has scored 51 goals in 112 appearances for Turkey - making him the leading active international scorer in European football - while Larsson scored 36 goals in 93 games for Sweden. • Galatasaray lost their opening Group H match 2-1 at FC Girondins de Bordeaux while Helsingborg drew 1-1 at home against Panionios GSS - Larsson levelling in the 83rd minute.

However, they at least know that they will have some chance of qualifying on Matchday 5 – however slender – regardless of the result of the game against their Norwegian visitors. • Rosenborg have no such luxury, having matched their worst ever home defeat in European competition in losing 4-0 to Valencia CF last Thursday. This is their final Group G game, and anything other than a win would spell the end of their continental campaign for the season. • This will be København and Rosenborg's first meeting in European club competition.
