Match background

Having started with a visit to 1996 victors Juventus in their first outing in the UEFA Champions League, FC Zenit St. Petersburg now take on nine-time European champions Real Madrid CF in Group H. The Russian titleholders began with a defeat on Matchday 1 while the Spanish giants recorded a comfortable 2-0 victory against another team making their debut in the competition, FC BATE Borisov, at the Santiago Bernabéu. • Zenit, the UEFA Cup and UEFA Super Cup holders, had given a good account of themselves in the Turin contest and only looked under threat from set-pieces. That route ultimately proved their undoing with Alessandro Del Piero scoring from a direct free-kick with 14 minutes remaining. • Dick Advocaat's team overcame Spanish opponents on their way to last season's success in the UEFA Cup, defeating Villarreal CF on away goals in the Round of 32 – a win set up by a 1-0 victory in the home leg. It was only their second win over visitors from that country having also beaten Sevilla FC in the 2005/06 UEFA Cup group stage. Their other three contests at the Petrovsky Stadium against Spanish opponents in UEFA competition – two of which were also against Sevilla – ended in draws. • In their triumphant UEFA Cup campaign Zenit eventually came good at home after stuttering in the group stage, drawing 1-1 with AZ Alkmaar and then 2-2 with 1. FC Nürnberg. In the four knockout ties they won three of the home legs without conceding a goal – 1-0 against Villarreal (Round of 32), 2-0 against Olympique de Marseille (Round of 16) and 4-0 against FC Bayern München in the semi-final. Pavel Pogrebnyak scored four of those and also contributed one of the home goals in the group games. In all he registered seven of Zenit's 16 goals in the knockout rounds. • Zenit's only defeat in a total of eight home games in the tournament came in the quarter-final against Bayer 04 Leverkusen when they lost 1-0 but as they had won the away leg 4-1 it had little bearing on their overall supremacy. Including the second qualifying round, Zenit won five of their home games, drawing two and losing one, scoring 16 goals and conceding four. • Madrid have not won away in the UEFA Champions League for seven games and last tasted success on their travels on 17 October 2006 when they beat FC Steaua Bucureşti 4-1. Since then they have had three draws and three defeats, including losses in the away leg in the first knockout rounds in the last two seasons, against AS Roma and Bayern.

• This is Madrid's first visit to Russia since the 2002/03 second group stage and although they were triumphant on that occasion – winning 1-0 against FC Lokomotiv Moskva – it is unlikely they would have been disappointed not to have made a return trip sooner than this. The 2002/03 campaign was the third in a row, and the fourth time in five seasons, that Los Merengues had been drawn against Russian opponents in the first or second group stage, and a case of third time lucky because they had been defeated on both the previous occasions against Lokomotiv and FC Spartak Moskva. They also lost there in 1998/99, against Spartak again. Their first four appearances in Russia before that sequence resulted in three draws and a defeat. • Iker Casillas, Míchel Salgado, Raúl González and Guti all featured in Madrid's 2003 win in Moscow. • In the UEFA EURO 2008™ semi-final Andrei Arshavin, Konstantin Zyryanov and Aleksandr Anyukov started for Russia against a Spain side that included Casillas and Sergio Ramos in their starting lineup. • The other game in the group on Matchday 2 features FC BATE Borisov against Juventus.

Match facts

Zenit UEFA milestones • A goal in each half from Pavel Pogrebnyak and debutant Danny gave Zenit victory in the UEFA Super Cup against Manchester United FC in Monaco on 29 August, making them the first Russian side to claim the trophy. UEFA Champions League statistics • None Disciplinary information • Zenit have no players suspended or within a booking of a ban. Latest domestic information • Saturday 27 September: FC Lokomotiv Moskva 0-3 FC Zenit St. Petersburg (Fayzulin 18, Puygrenier 60, Dominguez 74) Zenit coach Dick Advocaat celebrated his 61st birthday by leading his side to an impressive win in the Russian capital. Viktor Fayzulin put the visitors in front, and second-half strikes from Sébastien Puygrenier and Alejandro Dominguez sealed a third league win in four matches. • Advocaat said: "We scored three beautiful goals and put in a high-quality performance. The fans paid tribute to me with orange balloons in the stands, and I want to tell them they are the best in the world. Vyacheslav Malafeev made a mistake in the last game, but that is no reason to put him on the bench as goalkeepers are the same as midfielders or strikers who also can make mistakes." • Advocaat made two changes to the starting lineup that lost 3-1 at home to PFC CSKA Moskva six days earlier, with Ivica Križanac and the suspended Andrei Arshavin replaced by Tomáš Hubočan and Fayzulin. • Puygrenier's goal was his first for the club since joining Zenit from French club AS Nancy-Lorraine in the summer. • Since claiming the UEFA Cup in May, Zenit have won only eight of their 16 Premier-Liga fixtures, losing five and drawing three. • Zenit have conceded eight goals in the final 15 minutes of league games this season – almost a third of their total of 28. They have scored twelve of their 40 goals in the period between the 16th and 30th minute. • Igor Denisov and Malafeev are the only Zenit players to have played every minute of all 22 league games so far. • Zenit made an unhappy return to their domestic campaign after Matchday 1 as CSKA secured a 3-1 victory in St Petersburg. Two goals from Alan Dzagoev and a Vágner Love penalty meant Pogrebnyak's fifth in five games was scant consolation for the home side. • Zenit bowed out of the Russian Cup on 6 August, going down 1-0 at second-tier side FC Sibir Novosibirsk in the fifth round.

But my success belongs to the whole team." • On 4 July, Anatoliy Tymoschuk was awarded the title of Distinguished Person of Sport of Ukraine, in recognition of his role in Zenit's UEFA Cup triumph. Tymoschuk was granted the title by Executive Order of Ukrainian President Viktor Yuschenko. • Denisov became a father to a son a day before the Lokomotiv game, a week after Zyryanov had celebrated his own new addition to the family, a boy called Lev.

The match changed nine minutes into the second half when Marcelo was dismissed for impeding Damiá and Sergio García levelled at the second attempt after Iker Casillas had blocked his penalty. However, the Betis goalscorer collected a second yellow card seven minutes from time and Madrid snatched the points, and a fifth successive win in all competitions, in the final seconds, Van Nistelrooy racing through to score with a low drive after a swift counterattack.

• "We were the better team, particularly in the first half when apart from our goal we had a lot of chances," said Bernd Schuster. "Although the latter part of the game was difficult I knew we could get a win here. When they were reduced to ten men our players knew they had to change mentality and try to go for goal while our opponents backed off." • The Madrid coach continued to rotate his squad against Betis, with Sergio Ramos and Christoph Metzelder recalled in place of Fabio Cannavaro and Míchel Salgado. • Of the seven league goals Madrid have conceded this season, four have come in the first 15 minutes of the second half and the remaining three in the first-half hour of games.

Head coach FC Zenit St. Petersburg: Dick Advocaat Date of birth: 27 September 1947 Nationality: Dutch Playing career: ADO Den Haag (twice), Roda JC, VVV Venlo, Chicago Sting (twice), Sparta Rotterdam, K. Berchem Sport, FC Utrecht Coaching career: DSVP, Netherlands (assistant), HFC Haarlem, FC Dordrecht, Netherlands (assistant), Netherlands, PSV Eindhoven, Rangers FC, Netherlands, VfL Borussia Mönchengladbach, United Arab Emirates, Korea Republic, FC Zenit St. Petersburg Dick Advocaat has earned plenty of honours in his long coaching career but FC Zenit St. Petersburg's victory against his former club Rangers FC in the 2007/08 UEFA Cup final in Manchester constituted his first European club trophy. His second was not long in coming as Manchester United FC were then defeated in the UEFA Super Cup three months later. Advocaat enjoyed unequivocal success with Rangers between 1998 and 2002. In his first two years after replacing Walter Smith, the side won two league titles, two Scottish Cups and a League Cup, adding another League Cup in 2002. It took the lure of international football, and a second spell as Netherlands coach, to entice him away from Glasgow. Advocaat guided the Oranje to UEFA EURO 2004™ thanks to a 6-1 aggregate triumph over Scotland in the play-offs, and then in Portugal to the semi-finals before losing to the hosts. He quit directly, going on to have short stints with VfL Borussia Mönchengladbach and also the United Arab Emirates before leading the Korea Republic at the 2006 FIFA World Cup. Following a group-stage exit in Germany, he took the reins at Zenit that July and in 2007 steered the team to their first Russian championship. His penchant for travel perhaps began during his modest playing career, which brought two spells with Chicago Sting. Even as his playing days wound down, he began coaching with amateur side DSVP and from there Advocaat was appointed assistant to national-team coach Rinus Michels. His first assignment as head coach came with HFC Haarlem in 1987, then he landed a second division championship with FC Dordrecht, and by 1992 he was national coach. Three years later, Advocaat returned to club management with PSV Eindhoven, helping them to winners' medals in the Eredivisie and Dutch Cup before his move to Rangers.

Real Madrid CF: Bernd Schuster Date of birth: 22 December 1959 Nationality: German Playing career: SV Hammerschmiede Augsburg, 1. FC Augsburg, 1. FC Köln, FC Barcelona, Real Madrid CF, Club Atlético de Madrid, Bayer 04 Leverkusen, Club Universidad Nacional AC Coaching career: SC Fortuna Köln, 1. FC Köln, Xerez CD, FC Shakhtar Donetsk, Levante UD, Getafe CF, Real Madrid CF Having cut a swathe through Spain as a dashing midfield player in the 1980s, Bernd Schuster has once more been shaking up the Liga as a coach. After a tremendous first season in domestic terms at Madrid, he is battling for club honours in Europe again, having only had the 1981/82 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, won with FC Barcelona, to show for his glory years as a player. Brilliant and controversial, Schuster was just 20 when he helped West Germany win the 1980 UEFA European Championship and shortly afterwards left Köln for the Camp Nou where he was to spend eight, occasionally fraught seasons. Winning the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup in 1982 and the league title in 1985, Schuster was a losing finalist in the 1985/86 European Champion Clubs' Cup. By that stage, he had retired from international football following disagreements with coach Jupp Derwall and several team-mates, but 'The Blond Angel' continued to soar in Spain, though he caused upset at Barça by joining their arch-rivals Madrid in 1988 and going on to win two titles on the trot before representing Club Atlético de Madrid, Bayer 04 Leverkusen and Mexican side Club Universidad Nacional AC. Hanging up his boots in 1997, he coached lower-tier clubs in Germany and Spain, and spent a season in Ukraine with FC Shakhtar Donetsk before arriving at Getafe CF in 2005. After two superb seasons, he returned to Madrid as coach in summer 2007, romping to the title with an excellent 85-point haul and playing some fine attacking football.

Referee

Name Nat. Date of birth UCL UEFA Massimo Busacca SUI 06.02.1969 20 45 Massimo Busacca has steadily enhanced his reputation since succeeding Urs Meier on Switzerland's élite list, with the 2007 UEFA Cup final following the 2006 FIFA World Cup. He had three games in Germany, including Argentina’s 2-1 last-16 win against Mexico. From Monte Carrasso, in the Italian-speaking southern canton of Ticino, Busacca reached the highest domestic level in 1996 and within three years was cutting his teeth in UEFA youth matches. Busacca is a UEFA Champions League regular, notably serving as fourth official to Meier for the 2002 final between Real Madrid CF and Bayer 04 Leverkusen. The UEFA Cup final Sevilla FC won 3-1 on penalties after a 2-2 draw against RCD Espanyol was his third visit to Hampden Park as he also refereed Scotland's 1-0 victory against France in a UEFA EURO 2008™ qualifier and ended the 2007/08 club season by taking charge of the UEFA Champions League semi-final first leg between FC Barcelona and eventual winners Manchester United FC, his sixth match in the competition proper that season. He was also selected for UEFA EURO 2008™, where he refereed the group matches between the Netherlands and Romania and Greece and Sweden. Another high-level game for Busacca, who enjoys travel in his spare time, was the 2005 FIFA U-20 World Cup semi-final between Brazil and Argentina in Utrecht. At home, the company director, who is also a keen skier, took charge of his first Swiss Cup final in May 2005.

UEFA information

UEFA statement on EURO 2012™ UEFA has reaffirmed its commitment to staging UEFA EURO 2012™ in Poland and Ukraine. The UEFA Executive Committee reached this decision at its meeting in Bordeaux, France, on 26 September. The committee has set a number of conditions which the 2012 co-hosts must meet to move forward the organisation of the tournament in four summers' time, with UEFA deciding in particular on the number of stadiums to be used – a maximum of eight and a minimum of six. The completion of stadiums in the two capitals, Warsaw (Poland) and Kiev (Ukraine), is seen as crucial to the 2012 project. The UEFA Executive Committee stressed a number of conditions which must be met in order to bring the whole project forward, including: • Both host countries must continue to make the necessary efforts as any slackening could put in doubt the organisation of this tournament in these countries; • UEFA will decide how many and which stadiums (and therefore cities) will be used as venues for the competition, with a minimum of six and a maximum of eight, taking into account that contracts have been signed with eight stadiums, cities and airports; • There will not necessarily be the same number of venues (cities) per country; • The completion of the Kiev and Warsaw stadiums remains an essential element of the whole project; • The governments of both countries must support their national associations and fulfil the commitments they gave to UEFA in the scope of the project, notably concerning accommodation and transport infrastructures. EURO expansion Also in Bordeaux, the UEFA Executive Committee approved the expansion of the final tournament of the UEFA European Championship from 16 to 24 teams, as from the 2016 edition. The format of the final tournament will consist of six groups of four teams, followed by a round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals and the final. The top two from each group would qualify in addition to the four best third-ranked sides. This format would generate a total of 51 games, compared with 31 now, to be played over a period of 29 to 31 days depending on the match schedule. The traditional qualifying structure, with groups of six and five teams, will remain in place. UEFA Cup to become UEFA Europa League The UEFA Executive Committee also endorsed the change of name for the UEFA Cup to the UEFA Europa League from 2009/10. The new name heralds major changes to the competition, which will have a new 48-team group stage with centralised marketing of broadcast rights, a presenting sponsor and an official matchball in addition to centralised sponsorship from the knockout stage and a new logo and visual identity. UEFA President Michel Platini said: "These changes will improve this historic competition, which is very important for UEFA and for European football as it gives more fans, players and clubs the thrill of European club football. I am convinced the new format will give the UEFA Europa League a successful new impetus." Investigative unit UEFA's efforts to help protect the integrity of football have been strengthened by a decision by the UEFA Executive Committee, which agreed to reinforce UEFA's disciplinary services by improving the current UEFA early-warning system on issues involving possible corruption or betting irregularities. Two additional full-time staff and four additional disciplinary inspectors, with specific experience in criminal investigation and good police contacts, will be recruited to work full time for UEFA. "The integrity of football is fundamental to the success of the sport," said UEFA General Secretary David Taylor. "Uncertainty of outcome is what makes sport interesting. If matches are manipulated, it is the biggest and most serious danger to our game." Zero tolerance for racism and discrimination UEFA begins the latest UEFA Champions League and UEFA Cup seasons determined to step up its fight to eliminate the evil of racism and intolerance from football. The message is clear – there will be zero tolerance of any racism or discrimination, on or off the field, at UEFA matches during the 2008/09 campaign. Furthermore, UEFA's match delegates and officials are being urged to play a full role in catching the perpetrators. The UEFA President called on match delegates to do everything within their power to help the European body and the Football Against Racism in Europe network (FARE) to fight racism effectively. "It is vital that your post-match reports ... demonstrate no leniency whatsoever in the face of violent, racist or discriminatory behaviour on the part of players, club officials, technical staff or fans," said Mr Platini in a recent letter to UEFA match officials. "UEFA policy is clear: zero tolerance of violence, racism or discrimination."

Competition facts

• UEFA Champions League: Group stage milestones Holders Manchester United FC are hoping to avoid becoming the first defending champions to fail to get through a group stage since the UEFA Champions League began. (This record, like the others, includes the seasons between 1999/00 and 2002/03 that featured a second group stage). In 1992/93, FC Barcelona were the reigning European Champion Clubs' Cup holders and were beaten 4-3 on aggregate in the second round by PFC CSKA Moskva. S.S. Lazio goalkeeper Marco Ballotta became the oldest player to compete in the UEFA Champions League in 2007/08 when he featured against Olympiacos CFP on Matchday 1 at the age of 43 years and 168 days. The record was previously held by Alessandro Costacurta, the AC Milan defender who played against AEK Athens FC in the 2006/07 season at the age of 40 years and 211 days. Ballotta was aged 43 years 252 days when he featured against Real Madrid CF on Matchday 6. Laurent Blanc is the oldest player to score in the competition, aged 36 years and 339 days, having found the net for Manchester United FC in their 3-2 defeat of Olympiacos CFP on 23 October 2002. Celestine Babayaro is the youngest player to have appeared in the UEFA Champions League. He was 16 years and 87 days when he started for RSC Anderlecht against FC Steaua Bucureşti on 23 November 1994. He was then sent off in the 37th minute. In 2006/07, PFC Levski Sofia joined 1. FC Košice in being the only team to have played in the UEFA Champions League and never picked up a point. The Slovakian side have not returned to the competition since losing all six games in their only campaign to date in 1997/98. Six other teams have gone through a single group stage campaign without picking up a point: FC Dynamo Kyiv (2007/08), SK Rapid Wien (2005/06) and RSC Anderlecht (2004/05) plus FC Spartak Moskva and Bayer 04 Leverkusen (2002/03, first and second group stage respectively) and Fenerbahçe SK (2001/02, first group stage). Dynamo also conceded 19 goals in their six outings in 2007/08, equalling the record let in during a group stage set by Ferencvárosi TC in the 1995/96 campaign. Before their 3-1 win against Sporting Clube de Portugal on Matchday 6 of the 2006/07 campaign, FC Spartak Moskva went 22 games without a win in the competition, surpassing the unwanted record set by AEK Athens FC on Matchday 3 of the same campaign. The lowest total for a team qualifying from the group stage is seven points. The first to do it, since three points for a win was introduced in 1995/96, were Legia Warszawa that same season before Bayer 04 Leverkusen managed it in 1999/2000 and Liverpool FC in 2001/02. FC Lokomotiv Moskva and eventual finalists Juventus both progressed with seven points in 2002/03, a feat achieved by Rangers FC and Werder Bremen in 2005/06. Last updated: 01.09.2008

2007/08 season Domestic record: Madrid retained the Primera División title by finishing eight points ahead of runners-up Villarreal CF and 18 clear of FC Barcelona, who finished third. However, for the second consecutive season, they were eliminated at the last 16 stage of the Copa del Rey.
