Form guide • Inter's home record against French clubs is not wholly convincing: W6 D3 L3 (W2 D1 L2 since the turn of the millennium). • Inter and ACF Fiorentina are the only sides along with Legia Warszawa to have picked up six points without conceding a goal in this season's group stage. In fact, Italy's four-team contingent are unbeaten thus far, posting seven wins and a draw between them. Their combined goal difference is 15 for and just one against. • St-Étienne are the only side to have recorded goalless draws in both of their opening group stage games. • Inter are the only team to have found the net so far in Group F. • Inter are unbeaten in eight European home matches (W5 D3) since a 2-0 loss to HNK Hajduk Split in the 2012/13 UEFA Europa League third qualifying round. St-Étienne are without a win in three European away fixtures (D1 L2). Trivia and links • Inter's Colombian midfielder Fredy Guarín played for St-Étienne from 2006 until 2008, when he moved on to FC Porto. St-Étienne were his first club in Europe. • Inter's French midfielder Yann M'Vila is up against three team-mates from his first club, Stade Rennais FC (2009- 13): defender Kévin Théophile-Catherine, forward Mevlüt Erdinç and midfielder Fabien Lemoine. • Théophile-Catherine and Inter's Gary Medel played together in the English Premier League with Cardiff City FC last season. The coaches • In charge at Inter since May 2013, Walter Mazzarri was a journeyman midfielder who worked his way up the divisions as a coach. After a notable spell at UC Sampdoria, he led SSC Napoli to Coppa Italia glory in 2011/12 and a runners-up finish in Serie A the following season before switching to Inter. • A defender for hometown club Olympique de Marseille, LOSC Lille and Toulouse FC among others, St-Étienne boss Christophe Galtier took up his current position in 2009, helping Les Verts to win the 2012/13 French Cup. He had previously assisted Alain Perrin and Richard Tardy, working in England and Greece as well as France. 4 FC Internazionale Milano - AS Saint-Étienne Thursday 23 October 2014 - 21.05CET (21.05 local time) Match press kit Stadio San Siro, Milan Team facts FC Internazionale Milano Formed: 1908 Nicknames: Nerazzurri (Black and Blues), La Beneamata (The Beloved) UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • European Champion Clubs' Cup (3): 1964, 1965, (1967), (1972), 2010 • UEFA Cup (3): 1991, 1994, (1997), 1998 • European/South American Cup (2): 1964, 1965 Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) League title: 18 (2010) Italian Cup: 7 (2011) Ten-year European record (UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League unless indicated otherwise) 2013/14: did not take part in UEFA competition 2012/13: round of 16 2011/12: UEFA Champions League round of 16 2010/11: UEFA Champions League quarter-finals 2009/10: UEFA Champions League winners 2008/09: UEFA Champions League round of 16 2007/08: UEFA Champions League round of 16 2006/07: UEFA Champions League round of 16 2005/06: UEFA Champions League quarter-finals 2004/05: UEFA Champions League quarter-finals Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 6-0 twice, most recently v Stjarnan 28/08/14, UEFA Europa League play-off second leg • Biggest away win 1-5: Valencia CF v Inter 20/10/04, UEFA Champions League group stage • Heaviest home defeat 1-5: Inter v Arsenal FC 25/11/03, UEFA Champions League group stage • Heaviest away defeat 5-1: Real Madrid CF v Inter 16/04/86, UEFA Cup semi-final second leg UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League Biggest home win 6-0: Inter v Stjarnan (see above) Biggest away win 0-3 twice, most recently v Stjarnan 20/08/14, UEFA Europa League play-off first leg Heaviest home defeat 1-3: Inter v FC Bayern München 07/12/88, third round second leg 0-2 twice, most recently v HNK Hajduk Split 09/08/12, third qualifying round second leg Heaviest away defeat 5-1: Real Madrid CF v Inter (see above) AS Saint-Étienne Formed: 1919 Nickname: Les Verts (The Greens) UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) 5 FC Internazionale Milano - AS Saint-Étienne Thursday 23 October 2014 - 21.05CET (21.05 local time) Match press kit Stadio San Siro, Milan • European Champion Clubs' Cup: (1976) Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) Domestic title: 10 (1981) French Cup: 6 (1977) French League Cup: 1 (2013) Ten-year European record (UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League unless indicated otherwise) 2013/14: play-offs 2012/13: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2011/12: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2010/11: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2009/10: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2008/09: round of 16 2007/08: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2006/07: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2005/06: UEFA Intertoto Cup third round 2004/05: did not take part in UEFA club competition Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 7-0: St-Étienne v KuPS Kuopio 01/01/80, UEFA Cup first round second leg • Biggest away win 0-7: KuPS Kuopio v St-Étienne 17/09/80, UEFA Cup first
