Previous meetings • A full house witnessed an entertaining first leg as Malmö and Chelsea met in UEFA competition for the first time. Goals from Ross Barkley – his first in Europe – and Olivier Giroud – his fifth in four UEFA Europa League games – put the visitors in control before Anders Christiansen gave the home fans something to cheer with a fine late consolation strike. • Chelsea's two previous ties against opponents from Sweden came in the European Cup Winners' Cup when they were holders of the trophy. They were eliminated by Åtvidaberg on away goals in the 1971/72 second round (after a 1- 1 draw at home), but got past Helsingborg in the first round 17 years later, Frank Leboeuf providing the only goal of the tie in the first leg at Stamford Bridge. • Malmö's most famous fixture against English opposition was their first – the 1979 European Champion Clubs' Cup final against Nottingham Forest, which they lost 1-0 in Munich. Their only win against an English club was also against Forest 16 years later – 2-1 at home in the UEFA Cup first round – but they lost the return 1-0 and exited on away goals. Form guide Chelsea • Chelsea finished fifth in defence of their Premier League title last season, and beat Manchester United 1-0 in the FA Cup final to book a first ever place in the UEFA Europa League group stage. • The London side made light work of negotiating a safe passage through to the UEFA Europa League knockout phase, doing the double over PAOK (1-0 away, 4-0 home) and BATE Borisov (3-1 home, 1-0 away) before Vidi, who had lost 1-0 at Stamford Bridge, denied them a clean sweep on matchday six. • This is Chelsea's second appearance in the UEFA Europa League knockout phase, their first, in 2012/13, having concluded with victory in the competition overall. Their route to that final in Amsterdam, where they defeated Benfica 2-1, incorporated three successive 3-1 wins at Stamford Bridge after they had overcome Sparta Praha in the round of 32 (1-0 away, 1-1 home). • Chelsea are now ten games unbeaten in the UEFA Europa League, including the last three matches of their victorious 2013 campaign, with the 2-2 draw at Vidi the only one of those games that did not result in victory. They have yet to suffer a home defeat in this competition (W6 D1) but have not won any of their last four springtime European fixtures at Stamford Bridge (D2 L2), since defeating Paris Saint-Germain 2-0 in the second leg of the 2013/14 UEFA Champions League quarter-final. • Chelsea have never been eliminated from UEFA competition after recording an away first-leg win, winning ten out of ten ties. The most recent was in the last semi-final of their triumphant 2012/13 UEFA Europa League campaign when they won 2-1 at Basel before a 3-1 success at Stamford Bridge. Malmö • Swedish champions for a record 20th time in 2017, Malmö began this season's European campaign in the UEFA Champions League first qualifying round. Their bid to reach that group stage for the third time in five years was ended on away goals by Vidi in the third qualifying round but they secured an autumn of European participation – as Sweden's sole representatives – by beating Danish title holders Midtjylland in the UEFA Europa League play-offs. • Malmö's only previous UEFA Europa League group stage involvement, in 2011/12, brought just a single point, but they chalked up nine this term, losing their opening fixture at Genk (0-2) but remaining unbeaten over the next five matchdays, three successive draws bookended by their two wins against Beşiktaş. • The Swedish club are competing in springtime European football for the first time since 1986/87 – when they lost 3-2 on aggregate (1-0 home, 1-3 away) in the European Cup Winners' Cup quarter-finals to a Marco van Basten-inspired Ajax, the eventual winners – and only the second time since that run to the European Cup final 40 years ago. • Malmö have lost only once on their European travels this term (W4 D2), keeping clean sheets in five of those seven fixtures. They have never won a European fixture outside Sweden in the spring (D2 L3). 4 Chelsea FC - Malmö FF Thursday 21 February 2019 - 21.00CET (20.00 local time) Match press kit Stamford Bridge, London • On all eight previous occasions that Malmö have been beaten at home in the first leg of a UEFA tie they have been unable to recover the deficit in the second fixture. The only other time they lost 1-2 at home in the opening leg, against Slavia Praha in the 1996/97 UEFA Cup first round, they were defeated 3-1 in the return. UEFA Europa League squad changes • Chelsea In: Danny Drinkwater, Gonzalo Higuaín Out: Cesc Fàbregas, Victor Moses, Álvaro Morata • Malmö In: Adi Nalic, Dušan Melichárek, Anel Ahmedhodžić, Lamin Sarr Out: Fredrik Andersson, Felix Konstandeliasz, Mathias Nilsson, Walter Viitala Links and trivia • Malmö coach Uwe Rösler played for Manchester City, Southampton and West Bromwich Albion and has also managed Brentford, Wigan Athletic, Leeds United and Fleetwood. • Markus Rosenberg (West Brom, 2012–14) and Marcus Antonsson (Leeds and Blackburn, 2016–18) have played in England. • Giroud is bidding to score in a fifth successive UEFA Europa League match and is now joint-second in this season's goal charts with five, one behind Salzburg's Munas Dabbur. • Chelsea's Ruben Loftus-Cheek is one of only two players to have scored a hat-trick in this season's UEFA Europa League proper, on matchday three at home to BATE. The other is Salzburg's Takumi Minamino, against Rosenborg. • All 11 players who started for Malmö in the first leg have featured in all seven matches since the start of the group stage.

  • Souvenir : RCS-OM 1992
    25/09/2021 18:57 https://racingstub.com Cette page peut être consultée en ligne à l'adresse https://racingstub.com/articles/100-souvenir-rcs-om-1992 Souvenir : RCS-OM 1992 0.0 / 5 (0 note) 11/03/2004 14:37 Souvenir/anecdote Lu 3.521 fois Par conan 0 comm. Près de 40 000 supporters survoltés à la Meinau en cette soirée de novembre. C'était il y a presque 12 ans. Le Racing affrontait le grand OM, futur champion d'Europe. Le 20 Novembre 1992 se déroula l'un des plus mémorables Racing-OM de l'histoire. Mémorable à plus d'un titre : du fait du scénario assez incroyable d'une rencontre à la limite de la violence, mais aussi car ce fut une rencontre charnière, véritable acte de naissance de l'OM version 92/93 qui allait devenir champion d'Europe quelques mois plus tard. Enfin il n'y eut jamais autant de monde pour suivre une rencontre du Racing à la Meinau, 39 033 personnes se serrant les uns contre les autres pour voir le match tant attendu depuis des années... En effet l'OM était incontestablement le club phare de cette époque : un palmarès impressionnant (4 titres de champion de France d'affilée entre 1989 et 1992), un président à la personnalité sulfureuse et véritable vedette médiatique (Bernard Tapie) et surtout une constellation de stars, pour la plupart titulaires en équipe de France ou dans leurs pays respectifs. L'OM semblait être la première équipe française capable d'emporter une coupe d'Europe, il fut d'ailleurs à un souffle de l'exploit un an et demi auparavant, battu aux tirs aux buts face à l'Etoile Rouge de Belgrade lors d'une finale jouée à Bari de sinistre mémoire.

The Gunners have hope, however, having triumphed 2-0 at the Fußball Arena München in last season's round of 16 second leg, although they lost the tie on away goals. Previous meetings • In last season's round of 16, Bayern took the upper hand with a 3-1 first-leg win in London thanks to goals from Kroos (7), Müller (21) and Mario Mandžukić (77), Lukas Podolski (55) pulling one back against his former side. • Arsenal came close to wiping out that home defeat as Olivier Giroud and Laurent Koscielny scored in Munich, but bowed out on away goals as Bayern progressed to the quarter-finals for the fourth time in five seasons.
