Form guide • Claudiu Keșerü scored the fastest hat-trick in UEFA Europa League history – three goals within 12 minutes – as Steaua beat AaB 6-0 on matchday one. It was AaB's heaviest defeat in this competition and Steaua's joint biggest European win. • AaB's first ever visitors from Romania, Steaua are yet to win in three games in Denmark (D2 L1). • AaB won their two previous Group J home fixtures without conceding; Steaua are without a victory in four UEFA away matches (D2 L2). Trivia and links • Steaua's Raul Rusescu is one of four players on five goals in this season's group stage, along with Jonatan Soriano (FC Salzburg), Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur FC) and David Lafata (AC Sparta Praha). Rusescu has scored his five goals in three group stage outings, with all the other five-goal strikers taking four matches to reach their total. • Steaua's Portuguese defender Fernando Varela turns 27 on the eve of matchday five. The coaches • Kent Nielsen led Aalborg to a domestic double in 2013/14 after taking command in 2010. Having turned out – like his father and brother – for Bronshøj BK, Nielsen won titles with Brøndby IF and played abroad with Aston Villa FC. Capped 54 times, he coached AGF Aarhus, AC Horsens and Brøndby before taking up his current role. • Nielsen's Brøndby lost out to Romanian opponents in the 1987/88 UEFA Cup second round, with FC Sportul Studentesc Bucureşti beating them on penalties. He also played against Romania four times with Denmark, scoring in a 2-1 victory in 1987 and a 3-0 1990 FIFA World Cup qualifying success. • Steaua coach Constantin Gâlcă was capped 68 times as a midfielder and played in Spain with RCD Mallorca, RCD Espanyol and Villarreal CF among others after making his name at Steaua. He took charge of his old club in June 2014 following a spell working as Romania's Under-17 coach. 3 Aalborg BK - FC Steaua Bucureşti Thursday 27 November 2014 - 19.00CET (19.00 local time) Match press kit Aalborg Stadion, Aalborg Team facts Aalborg BK Formed: 1885 Nickname: None UEFA club competition honours • UEFA Intertoto Cup: 2007 Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) League title: 4 (2014) Danish Cup: 3 (2014) Ten-year European record (UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League unless indicated otherwise) 2013/14: second qualifying round 2012/13: did not take part in UEFA competition 2011/12: did not take part in UEFA competition 2010/11: did not take part in UEFA competition 2009/10: second qualifying round 2008/09: round of 16 (having transferred from UEFA Champions League group stage) 2007/08: group stage (having qualified as UEFA Intertoto Cup winners) 2006/07: did not take part in UEFA competition 2005/06: did not take part in UEFA competition 2004/05: first round Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 4-0: AaB v Cliftonville FC 14/07/96, UEFA Intertoto Cup group stage • Biggest away win 1-3 three times, most recently v RC Deportivo La Coruña 26/02/09, UEFA Cup round of 32 second leg 0-2: GNK Dinamo Zagreb v AaB 06/08/14, UEFA Champions League third qualifying round second leg • Heaviest home defeat 0-3: AaB v Manchester United FC 30/09/08, UEFA Champions League group stage • Heaviest away defeat 8-1: Górnik Zabrze v AaB 20/09/70, European Cup Winners' Cup first round second leg UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup • Biggest home win 3-0 on three occasions, most recently v FC Dynamo Kyiv 23/10/14, group stage • Biggest away win 1-3 three times, most recently v RC Deportivo La Coruña (see above) • Heaviest home defeat 1-2: AaB v Getafe CF 06/12/07, group stage 1-2: AaB v Udinese Calcio 30/09/99, first round first leg • Heaviest away defeat 6-0: FC Steaua Bucureşti v AaB 18/09/14, group stage FC Steaua Bucureşti Formed: 1947 Nickname: Militarii (Army Men) 4 Aalborg BK - FC Steaua Bucureşti Thursday 27 November 2014 - 19.00CET (19.00 local time) Match press kit Aalborg Stadion, Aalborg UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • European Champion Clubs' Cup (1): 1986, (1989) • UEFA Super Cup (1): 1986 Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) League title: 25 (2014) Romanian Cup: 21 (2011) Ten-year European record (UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League unless indicated otherwise) 2013/14: UEFA Champions League group stage 2012/13: round of 16 2011/12: round of 32 2010/11: group stage 2009/10: group stage 2008/09: UEFA Champions League group stage 2007/08: UEFA Champions League group stage 2006/07: round of 32 (having transferred from UEFA Champions League group stage) 2005/06: semi-finals (having transferred from UEFA Champions League third qualifying round) 2004/05: round of 16 Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 6-0: Steaua v Aalborg BK 18/09/14, UEFA Europa League group stage 6-0: Steaua v BSC Young Boys 03/10/79, UEFA Cup Winners' Cup first round second leg • Biggest away win 1-5: AC Sparta Praha v Steaua 07/09/88, European Champion Clubs' Cup first round first leg • Heaviest home defeat 1-5: Steaua v VfB Stuttgart 22/11/12, UEFA Europa League group stage 0-4: Steaua v Chelsea FC 01/10/13, UEFA Champions League group stage • Heaviest away defeat 5-0 on three occasions, most recently v Maccabi Haifa FC 20/10/11, UEFA Europa League group stage UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League • Biggest home win 6-0: Steaua v Aalborg BK (see above) • Biggest away win 1-4: FC Levadia Maardu v Steaua 26/08/99, qualifying round second leg 0-3 on three occasions, most recently v FC Spartak Trnava 09/08/12, third qualifying round second leg • Heaviest home defeat 1-5: Steaua v VfB Stuttgart (see above) • Heaviest away defeat 5-0: Maccabi Haifa FC v Steaua (see above) 5 Aalborg BK - FC Steaua Bucureşti Thursday 27 November 2014 - 19.00CET (19.00 local time) Match press kit Aalborg Stadion, Aalborg Squad list Aalborg BK Current season All-time UCL UEL League UEL UEFA No. Player Nat.
