Club Brugge KV v AS Roma PRESS KIT

Jan Breydel, Wednesday, 15 February 2006 - 20:45 local time Round of 32 - Matchday 8

One of eight teams entering the UEFA Cup at the Round of 32 stage, Club Brugge KV have been handed perhaps the most difficult draw, against Italian side AS Roma. The Bruges outfit will have fond memories of their last encounter with the Giallorossi in the same competition more than 30 years ago when they triumphed on aggregate following two 1-0 wins. However Roma, who finished second in Group E, have not lost to Belgian opposition since.

•Club Brugge were always up against it after being drawn alongside FC Bayern München and Juventus in UEFA Champions League Group A. They lost to each team by a single goal in their first two fixtures before back-to-back victories against SK Rapid Wien cemented third place and a UEFA Cup consolation. A narrow defeat by Juve followed but ' side ended the campaign on a high, earning a battling 1-1 draw against Bayern.

•Roma needed a 3-1 Matchday 5 victory against FC Basel 1893 to book their place in the UEFA Cup knockout stages after an inconsistent Group E campaign. It started off well, Leandro Cufré's late strike earning a 2-1 victory against Trømso IL in Norway, but their progress was slowed by a 1-1 draw against RC Strasbourg. A 3-1 defeat at FK Crvena Zvezda left them on the brink of elimination before their final-day win against Basel.

•Club Brugge and Roma have met once before in UEFA club competition when they were paired in the third round of the 1975/76 UEFA Cup – and it was the Belgian team that came out on top. scored the only goal of the first leg at the Jan Breydel stadium, before sealed their passage to the quarter-finals with the only goal of the game in Italy. Club Brugge then saw off AC Milan, eventually going on to reach the final where they were narrowly defeated by Liverpool FC.

•Two years later the Belgians reached another final, in the European Champion Clubs' Cup, after overcoming a one-goal first-leg deficit against Juventus. Alfons Bastijns's early goal forced extra time, paving the way for René Vandereycken to steal victory with four minutes of the additional half-hour remaining. Liverpool again awaited in the showpiece and, like two years earlier, Club Brugge were denied. •Now coach at the Jan Breydel stadium, Ceulemans was part of the Club Brugge team that lost 1-0 on aggregate to AC Milan in the second round of the 1990/91 European Champion Clubs' Cup. That proved the start of a barren run against teams that has seen the Belgian outfit win just once in six games, losing four. •By contrast, Roma have not lost to Belgian opposition in eight games since 1975, including victories home and away against RSC Anderlecht in the second round of the 1990/91 UEFA Cup. The Giallorossi went on to reach the final where they were they

lost against FC Internazionale Milano.

Club facts: Club Brugge •Club Brugge were involved in the UEFA Champions League group stage for the third time in four years, but the Belgian champions have yet to make it beyond the group stage having finished in third place each of those seasons – an outcome that resulted in their switch to the UEFA Cup knockout stages. •Their proudest European moment came in their qualification for the 1977/78 European Champion Clubs' Cup final where a solitary goal from provided Liverpool FC with victory at London's .

2005/06 season •UEFA Champions League qualifying: Club Brugge won the Belgian first division by three points from RSC Anderlecht, thus giving them a place in the third qualifying round where they required a penalty shoot-out to eventually overcome Norwegian side Vålerenga IF. Trailing 1-0 from the opening leg in Oslo, the Belgian champions needed a Boško Balaban goal eleven minutes from time to force the tie into extra time. No further goals were scored until the penalty shoot-out, which Club Brugge won 4-3 with , Michael Klukowski, Jonathan Blondel and Balaban all on target.

•UEFA Champions League group stage: Club Brugge were winless after the opening two matchdays having lost 2-1 at home against Juventus and then 1-0 away against FC Bayern München.

•But the Belgian side then recorded back-to-back wins against SK Rapid Wien. The only goal of the game on Matchday 3 at Vienna's stadium came 15 minutes from time through Croatian striker Balaban. In Bruges, goals from (9), Balaban (25) and veteran Gerd Verheyen (63) secured the win after Marek Kincl's diving header had given Rapid the lead after only 33 seconds. The Austrians ensured a nervous finale after Steffen Hoffmann's 81st-minute header, but the Belgian side held on.

•Their aspirations to qualify for the knockout stages of the competition were dashed in Turin on Matchday 5 as Alessandro Del Piero scored the only goal ten minutes from time as Juventus advanced to the last 16. Despite defeat, Brugge claimed a third-placed finish before holding Bayern to a draw at the Jan Breydelstadion on Matchday 6. Claudio Pizarro opened the scoring for the away team with a powerful back-header after 21 minutes, but Portillo's superb equaliser in the 33rd minute earned a point for Club Brugge. Key facts •Club Brugge have scored in eleven of their last 12 matches at home in UEFA club competition stretching back to the last matchday of the 2003/04 UEFA Champions League group stage when a 2-1 defeat of AFC Ajax provided them with a place in the UEFA Cup third round.

FC Girondins de Bordeaux was followed by a 1-0 home reverse. In those 12 matches, Club Brugge have won seven, drawn three and lost two, the only other defeat coming on the opening matchday of this season's UEFA Champions League, a 2-1 loss to Juventus.

•Last season, Club Brugge competed in the UEFA Cup group stage after failing to overcome FC Shakhtar Donetsk in the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round. Having overcome French side LB Châteauroux in the first round, the Belgian side failed to secure a top three finish in the group stage and a place in the knockout stages following one victory (1-0 at home to FC Utrecht), two draws (1-1 away to FK Austria Wien and 1-1 at home to Real Zaragoza) and a defeat (3-2 away to FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk) from their four engagements.

•In the last decade, Club Brugge have hosted 25 UEFA Cup matches winning 18, drawing three and losing four with 62 goals scored and 22 conceded. From those 25 games, the Belgians have failed to score in two matches, namely defeats to FC Barcelona (0-2) and Bordeaux (0-1) on 23 November 2000 and 25 March 2004 respectively.

•In total, Club Brugge have played 197 matches in UEFA club competitions. Their record to date in the UEFA Cup reads: played 92, won 45, drawn 15 and lost 32 with 175 goals scored and 123 conceded.

Club facts: Roma •Roma are making their eighth consecutive appearance in UEFA competitions and their tenth in eleven seasons. This is their 22nd season in UEFA club competitions following their introduction in the 1969/70 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup at the first round stage.

•Roma endured a torrid time in last season's UEFA Champions League having qualified automatically for the competition following their second-placed finish to AC Milan in Serie A. Their opening match against FC Dynamo Kyiv ended early as match official Anders Frisk was hit with an object thrown from a spectator in the crowd at the Stadio Olimpico and the match was subsequently abandoned, UEFA awarding a 3-0 win to the Ukrainian visitors. •The Italian club were forced to play subsequent matches against Bayer 04 Leverkusen and Real Madrid CF behind closed doors, matches that ended in a 1-1 draw and a 3-0 loss respectively for the home side. Away from home, Roma lost all three matches by two-goal margins and exited the competition at the end of the six-match group phase having finished bottom of the table. •Roma have appeared in two finals in UEFA competition – the 1983/84 European Champion Clubs' Cup and the 1990/91 UEFA Cup. In the former, the Italian side were denied victory in a penalty shootout in their own Stadio Olimpico by Liverpool FC after the two sides drew 1-1 after 120 minutes. opened the scoring for Liverpool, but Roma equalised shortly before the interval through Roberto Pruzzo, only for the

English side to prevail on penalties. •Seven years later, Roma met FC Internazionale Milano in the UEFA Cup final, but again ended on the losing side. Inter won the first leg 2-0 in Milan with goals from Lothar Matthäus and Nicola Berti, a deficit that Roma were unable to overcome despite winning the return leg a fortnight later thanks to Ruggiero Rizzitelli's 81st-minute goal. •UEFA Cup first round: Roma entered the 2005/06 UEFA Cup as losing finalists as the winners, FC Internazionale Milano, had already qualified for the UEFA Champions League by virtue of their third-placed finish in the Italian Serie A. They accounted for Aris Thessaloniki FC in the first round of the competition, winning 5-1 at home before settling for a scoreless draw in Greece. The scorers in the victory were Alberto Aquilani (1), Christian Panucci (22, 43), Vincenzo Montella (27) and Francesco Totti (53). •UEFA Cup group stage: Away to Tromsø IL in the opening matchday of the 2005/06 UEFA Cup group stage Roma were pushed to the limits as a Leandro Cufré goal five minutes from time secured a 2-1 win for the Italian side. Roma had initially taken the lead after 35 minutes through Samuel Kuffour only for Ole Martin Årst to equalise seven minutes later.

•By the end of Matchday 3, RC Strasbourg advanced to the knockout stages of the UEFA Cup after taking a point from their engagement away to Roma. The French side looked on course to gain their third consecutive win of the group phase when Habib Bellaid (51) put them ahead early in the second half, only for Antonio Cassano to put an end to their 100 per cent record with 17 minutes remaining.

•FK Crvena Zvezda resurrected their UEFA Cup campaign with a 3-1 win against Roma on Matchday 4 which left their Group E rivals' future in the balance. Shabani Nonda (23) had given the visitors the lead but Nikola Žigić (37) deservedly hit back before half­time before Milan Purović (86) made it 2­1 and Žigić bagged his second. There was still time for Cassano to miss a penalty for Roma, for whom a draw would have been enough to ensure their progress. • However, the Romans struck back on the final matchday as they cruised into the knockout stages with a 3­1 win against FC Basel 1893 at the Stadio Olimpico. Goals from Rodrigo Taddei (12), Totti (45) and Nonda (49) assured Roma of second place behind Strasbourg with Basel back in third. Key facts • To date, Roma have played 158 matches in UEFA competition. The majority of those matches have come in the UEFA Cup where Roma have played 90 times with 49 wins, 15 draws and 26 losses. In that time, the Italian side have scored 144 times with 78 goals conceded.

Domestic news Club Brugge out to end Roma run (Saturday, 11 February 2006) With the UEFA Cup set to resume after its winter break, uefa.com looks at the form of the 32 clubs involved in first-leg ties this week. Club Brugge KV v AS Roma Since bowing out of the UEFA Champions League with a highly creditable 1-1 draw at FC Bayern München, Club Brugge have gone from strength to strength in their domestic league. They returned to Belgian First Division action with a hard-fought 2-2 draw at KRC Genk and a solitary Gert Verheyen goal proved decisive in their next outing against R. Excelsior Mouscron, ensuring they went into the winter break on a high.

A host of players departed during the transfer window as Jan Ceulemans sought to streamline his squad, with only Elrio Van Heerden arriving. The highly-rated South African is ineligible for the UEFA Cup after featuring for FC København earlier in the competition, although he can play in the league where Club Brugge recorded comfortable wins against FC Molenbeek Brussels Strombeek and K. Lierse SK either side of a 1-1 draw with KSV Roeselare. However, they were indebted to a last-minute Grégory Dufer goal to salvage a 2-2 draw away to lowly K. Sint-Truidense VV on Saturday.

After labouring through the first half of the season, needing a 3-1 win against FC Basel 1893 in their final group fixture to book a place in the UEFA Cup knockout stages, Roma have been galvanised since the new year. After offloading Antonio Cassano to Real Madrid CF in one of the biggest deals of the January transfer window, the Giallorossi have stormed up the Serie A table after racking up a record-breaking nine consecutive league victories. They continued the run with a 2-0 win at AC Siena on Sunday and currently lie fifth meaning ACF Fiorentina, who currently sit in the final UEFA Champions league spot, could be forgiven for casting nervous glances over their shoulders. The run, in which they also eliminated Juventus in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals, is all the more remarkable as for the large part it was achieved without injured strikers Vincenzo Montella and Shabani Nonda. Montella made his comeback as a late substitute in the thrilling 4-3 win against on 8 February and Nonda is poised for a return to alleviate some of the goalscoring burden from the talismanic Francesco Totti. Philippe Mexes is also in a rich vein of form, and forming a formidable defensive partnership with Cristian Chivu. Players registered: Damiano Tommasi, Francesco Maiorani, Paolo Seppani, Andrea Giacomini, Daniele Magliocchetti
