AS Roma v Club Brugge KV PRESS KIT

Olimpico, Rome Thursday, 23 February 2006 - 21:00 local time Round of 32 - Matchday 9

AS Roma take a one-goal advantage into second leg of their UEFA Cup Round of the 32 tie against Club Brugge KV at the Stadio Olimpico - a significant deficit for the Belgian visitors bearing in mind Roma's majestic form in 2006. Despite being reduced to ten men for the majority of the match at the Jan Breydelstadion, Luciano Spalletti's side won 2-1 courtesy of an own goal from Günther Vanaudenaerde and a Simone Perrotta strike either side of Javier Portillo's second-half equaliser. Ominously, the Giallorossi, who began the new year with a stunning sequence of victories, have never lost to Belgian opposition.

•It was all very different for Roma in the first half of the season, and they 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 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 Jan Ceulemans' side ended the campaign on a high, earning a battling 1-1 draw against Bayern.

•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. Julien Cools scored the only goal of the first leg at the Jan Breydelstadion, before Raoul Lambert 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 Breydelstadion, 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 nine 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 lost against FC Internazionale Milano.

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. Phil Neal 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. 2005/06 season •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 • Including their round of 32 first leg match, Roma have played 159 matches in UEFA competition. The majority of those matches have come in the UEFA Cup where Roma have played 91 times with 50 wins, 15 draws and 26 losses. In that time, the Italian side have scored 146 times with 79 goals conceded.

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 Kenny Dalglish provided Liverpool FC with victory at London's Wembley stadium. 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 shoot­out to eventually overcome Norwegian side Vålerenga IF. Trailing 1­0 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 shoot­out, which Club Brugge won 4­3 with Sven Vermant, 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 2­1 at home against Juventus and then 1­0 away

uefa.com 3/16 AS Roma v Club Brugge KV PRESS KIT

against FC Bayern München. • But the Belgian side then recorded back­to­back wins against SK Rapid Wien. The only goal of the game on Matchday 3 at Vienna's Ernst Happel stadium came 15 minutes from time through Croatian striker Balaban. In Bruges, goals from Javier Portillo (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 81st­minute 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 third­placed 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 back­header 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 12 of their last 13 matches at home in UEFA club competition stretching back to the last matchday of the 2003/04 UEFA Champions League group stage when a 2­1 defeat of AFC Ajax provided them with a place in the UEFA Cup third round. Having overcome Hungarian side Debreceni VSC at that stage of the competition, the Belgian side exited in the fourth round as a 3­1 away defeat to FC Girondins de Bordeaux was followed by a 1­0 home reverse. In those 13 matches, Club Brugge have won seven, drawn three and lost three, their other defeats coming this season against Italian sides, Juventus (UEFA Champions League) and AS Roma (UEFA Cup).

• 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 (1­0 at home to FC Utrecht), two draws (1­1 away to FK Austria Wien and 1­1 at home to Real Zaragoza) and a defeat (3­2 away to FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk) from their four engagements. • In the last decade, Club Brugge have hosted 26 UEFA Cup matches winning 18, drawing three and losing five with 63 goals scored and 24 conceded. From those 25 games, the Belgians have failed to score in two matches, namely defeats to FC Barcelona (0­2) and Bordeaux (0­1) on 23 November 2000 and 25 March 2004 respectively. • Including their round of 32 first leg match, Club Brugge have played 198 matches in UEFA club competitions. Their record to date in the UEFA Cup reads: played 93, won 45, drawn 15 and lost 33 with 176 goals scored and 125 conceded.

Domestic news Roma win leaves bittersweet taste (Monday, 20 February 2006) AS Roma and Club Brugge KV both earned important one-goal victories to keep their domestic ambitions intact, but the Giallorossi's landmark win against Empoli FC came at a huge cost. Talismanic captain Francesco Totti suffered a broken leg which could rule him out for a season and gives Club Brugge some hope of overturning a 2-1 first-leg deficit to book a place in the last 16 of the UEFA Cup.

AS Roma 1-0 Empoli FC Roma experienced a bittersweet weekend in Serie A as their record-equalling tenth successive league victory was tempered by an injury to talismanic captain Francesco Totti. The Giallorossi overcame Empoli courtesy of a goal from Simone Perrotta to move above ACF Fiorentina and into fourth in the Serie A standings. However, moments before the strike Totti was carried off with a fractured fibula that is likely to keep him out for at least two months. With Shabani Nonda still out with a knee problem, Vincenzo Montella is expected to take Totti's place in attack on Thursday.

Roma coach Luciano Spalletti reflected: "We cannot celebrate this record because we are too worried about Totti. We knew immediately that his injury was serious and we just hope to have him back as soon as possible because Roma and Italian football in general need players like Totti."

Club Brugge KV 1-0 KSK Beveren Club Brugge could afford a missed penalty and hitting the woodwork three times as a 17th-minute Kevin Roelandts volley proved good enough to guide Club Brugge to victory against Beveren on Sunday. "I lost count of the number of chances," coach Jan Ceulemans said. "It was a pity because we would have made it 2-0 and seal the match. It's great that we played well and created so many chances, the problem is that we missed so many of them".

The victory sees the side keep apace with RSC Anderlecht at the Belgian First Division summit, and was achieved without the suspended Boško Balaban. Veteran Gert Verheyen was rested on the substitutes' bench so Nigerian striker Manasseh Ishiaku started, as did goalkeeper Stijn Stijnen, who replaced the injured Tomislav Butina. The Croatian tore his hamstring in the first leg against Roma, and right-back Günther Vanaudenaerde is out of the second encounter after picking up a similar injury.
