Past meetings • The sides' only previous fixture came in Chelsea's debut UEFA Champions League campaign in the 1999/2000 second group stage. They beat Marseille 1-0 at Stamford Bridge through a Dennis Wise goal while the French side turned round that scoreline in the return with Robert Pirès getting the winner. That was OM's only victory in the section while Chelsea reached the quarter-finals, eventually losing to FC Barcelona. • Chelsea last received visitors from France in their opening fixture of the 2008/09 UEFA Champions League campaign. They defeated FC Girondins de Bordeaux 4-0, Frenchmen Florent Malouda and Nicolas Anelka on the scoresheet along with Frank Lampard. • Their other two home ties with French teams both ended in draws, 0-0 with Paris Saint-Germain FC in the 2004/05 group stage and 2-2 against AS Monaco FC in the previous season's semi-final second leg, the first of three successive last-four aggregate defeats for the London club. • Marseille lost on their first two visits to England. In their third, in the 2003/04 UEFA Cup fourth round, they became the first French visitors to avoid defeat at Liverpool FC at the sixth time of asking when Didier Drogba earned a 1-1 draw. • Two more draws followed before OM secured a 1-0 victory back at Anfield in the 2007/08 UEFA Champions League group stage thanks to Mathieu Valbuena's 77th-minute goal. Twelve months later they returned for another group fixture, losing by the same scoreline. Match background • Chelsea are in their eighth successive UEFA Champions League campaign and their ninth overall. Their last home game ended in a rare defeat with former manager José Mourinho celebrating in the opposing dugout as his FC Internazionale Milano team won 1-0 to progress to the quarter-finals with a 3-1 aggregate victory. • Before that the London club had established an unbeaten UEFA Champions League home run of 21 games, including 15 victories. In group fixtures in the last four seasons Chelsea – who in five of the last seven campaigns have finished as group winners, also qualifying for the knockout rounds in the other two years – have won nine and drawn three of their 12 home games, conceding just four goals. • That 1999/2000 season is the only one of their previous four UEFA Champions League campaigns where Marseille advanced beyond the initial group stage. • When OM won at FC Zürich on Matchday 3 last season, it ended a run of six successive away defeats in the competition proper and they followed that with a 1-1 draw at AC Milan on Matchday 5. Team ties • Deschamps spent 1999/2000 with Chelsea, winning the FA Cup. He also played in both the aforementioned UEFA Champions League games against Marseille and was a team-mate of John Terry. • Deschamps coached Monaco to the 2003/04 UEFA Champions League final, beating Chelsea in the semi-finals with a 3-1 home win and 2-2 away draw. Édouard Cissé was part of the Monaco team. • The suspended Didier Drogba had one season with Marseille in 2003/04, and was voted Ligue 1 Player of the Year by the French Professional Footballers' Union. In that season's UEFA Champions League he scored five goals and added six more as the French side switched to the UEFA Cup and reached the final, losing to Valencia CF. • Michael Essien had spells in France with SC Bastia (2000 to 2003) and Olympique Lyonnais (2003 to 2005) before signing for Chelsea. • Souleymane Diawara was part of that Bordeaux side who lost 4-0 at Stamford Bridge in the 2008/09 group stage and drew 1-1 in France. Anelka scored in each game. • Cissé and Anelka were team-mates with PSG between 2000 and 2002, Gabriel Heinze joining them there in 2001/02. Last updated 26/09/10 23:00:33CET 4 Match background Chelsea FC - Olympique de Marseille Tuesday 28 September 2010 - 20.45CET (19.45 local time) MATCH PRESS KIT Stamford Bridge, London Match facts Chelsea UEFA milestones • Chelsea have scored 149 goals in the European Champion Clubs' Cup. UEFA Champions League statistics • Didier Drogba completes a two-match ban following his red card against FC Internazionale Milano in last season's round of 16 second leg.

Match background Shakhtar • Shakhtar lost to German opponents at this stage in 2012/13 when they drew 2-2 at home to Borussia Dortmund, leading twice through Darijo Srna and Douglas Costa with Robert Lewandowski scoring Dortmund's first equaliser. Shakhtar were beaten 3-0 in Germany, Mario Götze getting the second goal. • In last season's UEFA Champions League group stage, the Ukrainian champions drew 0-0 at home to Bayer 04 Leverkusen after a 4-0 away defeat. • Shakhtar's last four home games with Bundesliga visitors have ended in three draws and a loss. Their last success came against holders Eintracht Frankfurt in the 1980/81 UEFA Cup first round when Mikhail Sokolovski's goal earned a 1-0 first-leg win, although the ensuing 3-0 defeat in Germany meant it was in vain. • The Pitmen's home record against German clubs is W2 D3 L1. Overall it reads W5 D4 L5. • Shakhtar's most memorable encounter with a Bundesliga team was their 2-1 victory over SV Werder Bremen after extra time in the 2009 UEFA Cup final in Istanbul.

  • Alexander DJIKU « Une Marche Après L’Autre »
    #RCSAFCM | 14ème JOURNÉE | 13.12.2020 Alexander DJIKU « Une marche après l’autre » L’édito UN DIMANCHE DE LUMIÈRE Avec Metz, c’est un visiteur particulièrement indélicat qui frappe à la porte de la Meinau. Le genre qui, depuis un bail, n’en repart jamais les poches vides. Il faut remonter au 18 mai 2007 pour trouver trace d’un succès alsacien en Championnat. C’était en Ligue 2 (2-1) et le gardien s’appelait Stéphane Cassard. Depuis, 4 matches nuls et 1 défaite figurent au débours domestique du Racing. Le bilan général est même de 5 défaites et 4 nuls si on cumule les matches à la maison et les courtes virées à Saint-Symphorien. Voici pour le contexte. Il donne finalement plus envie d’en finir avec cette litanie que de s’apitoyer sur ce voisinage pénible. Ce ne sont finalement que des stats. Le match de ce dimanche de décembre s’attrape par un autre bout, et Alexander Djiku le résume très bien dans ce programme. Metz ou un autre, là n’est pas la question. L’heure est à confirmer les belles choses nantaises mais aussi l’état de résistance manifesté contre Rennes. Pour la première fois, le Racing a enchaîné deux matches sans perdre. Ce serait une autre nouveauté s’il venait à enfiler deux victoires de rang. Ce serait surtout s’offrir la certitude de sortir de la zone rouge, en attendant mieux. Ce sera un gros combat, très physique probablement, un match pour revenir à 3 points de Metz et continuer d’avancer.
