UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE - 2018/19 SEASON MATCH PRESS KITS Estadio Santiago Bernabéu - Madrid Tuesday 23 October 2018 21.00CET (21.00 local time) Real Madrid CF Group G - Matchday 3 FC Viktoria Plzeň Last updated 18/08/2019 23:12CET UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE OFFICIAL SPONSORS Head coach 2 Legend 3 1 Real Madrid CF - FC Viktoria Plzeň Tuesday 23 October 2018 - 21.00CET (21.00 local time) Match press kit Estadio Santiago Bernabéu, Madrid Head coach Julen Lopetegui Date of birth: 28 August 1966 Nationality: Spanish Playing career: Real Sociedad, Real Madrid Castilla, Las Palmas, Real Madrid, Logroñés, Barcelona, Rayo Vallecano Coaching career: Rayo Vallecano, Real Madrid Castilla, Spain Under-19s, Spain Under-20s, Spain Under-21s, Porto, Spain, Real Madrid • Lopetegui's promising goalkeeping performances for Real Sociedad's youth sides led to a move to Real Madrid. The Basque native progressed into the senior squad, but, starved of opportunities, switched to Logroñes, where he made 107 Spanish top-flight appearances over three seasons. • Those displays earned a move to Barcelona but again he found playing time limited, prompting a transfer to Rayo Vallecano, where he featured 112 times until retirement in 2002. He earned one senior international cap and was part of Spain's 1994 FIFA World Cup squad. • Started his coaching career in 2003/04, at second division Rayo, but was dismissed after ten games. After five years away from the bench he returned to active duty in 2008/09 with Real Madrid Castilla, ending the third-tier campaign in sixth place. • In 2010 Lopetegui joined the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) and led the U19s to the European title two years later before reaching the quarter-finals of the FIFA U-20 World Cup in 2013. He had assumed control of the U21s in August 2012 and guided the holders to the 2013 UEFA European Under-21 Championship, winning the title in Israel. • On 6 May 2014, he returned to club duties with Porto but failed to win any silverware with the club and left his post in January 2016. Appointed Vicente del Bosque's successor as Spain coach in July that year and guided the side to the 2018 World Cup but departed on the eve of the finals to succeed Zinédine Zidane as Real Madrid coach, although his reign kicked off with defeat by neigbours Atlético in the UEFA Super Cup. Pavel Vrba Date of birth: 6 December 1963 Nationality: Czech Playing career: Baník Ostrava (twice), Železárny Prostějov, Cheb, Baník Havířov, Přerov Coaching career: Přerov, Baník Ostrava (youth, assistant), Czech Republic Under-20, Púchov, Žilina, Slovakia (assistant), Viktoria Plzeň (twice), Czech Republic, Anzhi • The defender was part of the Czechoslovakia side that reached the final of the 1982 UEFA European Under-18 Championship and also appeared at the FIFA U-20 World Cup the following year; the Czechs lost in the quarter-finals to a Brazil team including Bebeto and Dunga. • His club career did not hit the same heights, Vrba making a handful of appearances for Cheb and Baník before finishing his playing days in the lower leagues with home-town side Přerov. Returned to Baník as a youth coach and also went back to the U-20 World Cup, taking charge of the Czech Republic in the 2003 edition. Became assistant at Baník and – despite a 7-0 loss to SK Slavia Praha when he was in temporary control in May 2003 – ended the next season with the league title as assistant to František Komňacký. • That summer crossed the border into Slovakia, winning a championship as head coach of Žilina in 2007, by which time he was also working as assistant to Ján Kocián with the Slovak national team. • Moved on to Plzeň in 2008, collecting the Czech Cup in his second season – when he was voted the country's coach of the year, going on to collect seven of the next eight annual awards – and the league in 2011. Led Viktoria into the UEFA Champions League group stage for the first time in 2011/12 and repeated the trick two years later following another title in 2013. • In November 2013, he agreed to take the Czech Republic helm at the close of Plzeň's group stage campaign and led the national team to UEFA EURO 2016. Left after group stage elimination and, after a short spell in Russia with Anzhi, returned to Plzeň in June 2017, winning another league title 12 months later. 2 Real Madrid CF - FC Viktoria Plzeň Tuesday 23 October 2018 - 21.00CET (21.00 local time) Match press kit Estadio Santiago Bernabéu, Madrid Legend ALL-TIME STATISTICS The all-time record of the competing clubs in UEFA club competition.
