  • 2008/09 UEFA Champions League, Which Was the Competition’S Seventeenth Season
    TECHNICAL REPORT 2008/09 Title in Arial bold 22 pt Subtitle in Arial regular 14 pt ENGLISH SECTION PARTIE FRANÇAISE DEUTSCHER TEIL STATISTICS PHOTO: POTTS / PA WIRE / PA IMAGES TECHNICAL REPOrt This report has been published as a record of the 2008/09 UEFA Champions League, which was the competition’s seventeenth season. In addition to the factual and statistical data that make it a valuable reference work, it contains analysis, reflections and debating points which, it is hoped, will give technicians food for thought and, by highlighting tendencies and trends at the peak of professional football, also offer coaches who are active at the development levels of the game information that may be helpful in terms of working on the qualities which will be needed by the UEFA Champions League performers of the future. Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand can only watch as Lionel Messi jumps just far enough upwards and backwards to deliver the looping header which put FC Barcelona 2-0 up in the 70th minute of the final in Rome. THE ROADS THAT LED TO ROME Distance is meant to lend perspective, but it can also blur the vision. The fact that the neutrals who, when the group stage kicked off in September, predicted a Manchester United v Barcelona final were watching it just over eight months later gives the impression that the 124-match pilgrimage to Rome had been a relentless march towards a foregone conclusion. That was by no means the case. It is easy to forget that FC Barcelona won only half of their home games, or that they were being counted out during the final seconds of their heavyweight semi-final contest with Chelsea – only for Andrés Iniesta to produce the stunning drive which earned a trip to Rome.

For more detailed factual information, and in-depth competition statistics, please refer to the matchweek press kit, which can be downloaded at: http://www.uefa.com/uefa/mediaservices/presskits/index.html Match background As they prepare for the second leg of their UEFA Champions League first knockout round tie with Club Atlético de Madrid, FC Porto will be mindful that they have exited the competition at this stage in each of the past two seasons – but Lisandro's first-leg double in Spain have given the Portuguese side every hope of progressing this time round. • Porto twice fell behind at the Vicente Calderón on Matchday 7, Maxi Rodríguez giving the home side the perfect start with a third-minute opener, but Lisandro levelled midway through the first half. An error from Porto goalkeeper Helton allowed Diego Forlán to restore the Atlético advantage in first-half added time, but Lisandro was not to be denied and struck his sixth goal in the competition with 18 minutes remaining to give the Portuguese champions the edge ahead of the second leg at the Estádio do Dragão. • Twelve months ago the two-time European champions were beaten 4-1 on penalties by FC Schalke 04 at their home ground after a 1-1 draw over the two games.
