FC Barcelona v Panathinaikos FC PRESS KIT Camp Nou, Barcelona Wednesday, 2 November 2005 - 20:45 CET Group C - Matchday 4 The first match between the clubs in Athens on 18 October saw Panathinaikos FC end FC Barcelona's 100 per cent UEFA Champions League record this season with a 0-0 draw, a result that has also left the Greek club in a challenging position in the group table. Both clubs will now be looking for a positive showing to increase their chances of qualifying for the knockout stages. First meeting • The teams have met once previously in UEFA competition, when each won their home game in the quarter-finals of the 2001/02 UEFA Champions League. • In the first leg in Greece, Panathinaikos took a narrow 1-0 lead with a penalty from Angelos Basinas after 79 minutes. And it was the Greek side who immediately added to their advantage at Camp Nou when Michalis Konstantinou scored inside eight minutes of the second leg. • However, Barcelona fought back, Luis Enrique scored either side of half-time and Javier Saviola added the third just after the hour, meaning the Catalan club squeezed through to the semi-finals with a 3-2 aggregate margin. Four wins from four • Despite a European pedigree stretching back to December 1955, Barcelona are playing host to a Greek club for only the fifth time. Having been beaten 1-0 at PAOK FC, then PAOK Saloniki, in the first round of the 1975/76 UEFA Cup, Barça turned on the style in the return, running out 6-1 winners. • Carlos Rexach scored a hat-trick and Dutch maestros Johan Neeskens (2) and Johan Cruyff were also on the mark. Rexach and Cruyff went on to coach the club, the latter enjoying a number of successful years at the helm including Barcelona's sole European Champion Clubs' Cup triumph in 1992. • The form guide has continued at Camp Nou with Barcelona having now won all their four home games against Greek clubs, scoring 16 goals and conceding just two. Last Greek visit • The last occasion that Barcelona played host to a Greek club was in the second round of the 2003/04 UEFA Cup when a 2-0 win against Panionios NFC in the return leg set up a 5-0 aggregate win. Seven defeats in Spain • Panthinaikos have lost on each of their seven visits to Spain in UEFA competition, with all having come since 1999. The Greens scored four goals in that period while conceding 16, with all but two of the matches taking place in the UEFA Champions League.

Previous Spanish trip • Their most recent visit came in last season's UEFA Cup Round of 32. Having defeated Sevilla FC 1-0 in Athens, Panathanaikos fell to a 2-0 loss in Andalusia and were eliminated on aggregate. Their first trip to Spain had also come in the UEFA Cup, when Panathinaikos lost 4-2 at RC Deportivo La Coruña in the 1999/00 third round, rendering a 1-1 home draw irrelevant.
Team facts: Barcelona • Barça are competing in their eighth UEFA Champions League campaign in the past nine seasons. In the 2003/04 season the Catalan club were involved in the UEFA Cup until elimination in the fourth round. • Since their 4-0 defeat by AC Milan in the 1993/94 European Champion Clubs' Cup final, Barça have advanced to the semi-finals of the competition twice, namely during the 1999/00 and 2001/02 seasons, where they lost on both occasions to Spanish opponents. The former came against Valencia CF who defeated Barça 5-3 on aggregate, while the latter was against Madrid who won 2-0 in Barcelona before drawing 1-1 at home to advance to the final. • In total, Barça have appeared in four European Champion Clubs' Cup finals, winning the 1991/92 competition against UC Sampdoria thanks to a 112th-minute Ronald Koeman free-kick. Previously, Barça lost on penalties to CSA Steaua Bucuresti in the 1985/86 season and 3-2 to SL Benfica in the 1960/61 season. • Barça won the Spanish Primera División by four points from Real Madrid CF. Villarreal CF and Real Betis Balompié followed in third and fourth place, 19 and 22 points behind the champions respectively. • Entering the competition at the start of the group stage, the Catalan team opened their account with two wins from two outings. Barça tamed Bremen in Germany on the opening matchday with goals from Deco (13) and Ronaldinho (76pen). Then Udinese, fresh from a 3-0 win against Panathinaikos, felt the wrath of Ronaldinho who bagged a hat-trick (13, 32, 90pen) with Deco (41) also on the scoresheet in a sizzling 4-1 victory at the Camp Nou. A fitting outcome to Barça's 150th game in the European Champion Clubs' Cup in which they have won 83, drawn 33 and lost 34 with 288 goals scored and 167 goals conceded. • On Matchday 3, Panathinaikos blunted the three-man attack of Barcelona with, in the end, some comfort to secure a UEFA Champions League draw which will not harm either side's chances of reaching the next stage. Only occasionally were the two goalkeepers called into action, as Ronaldinho in particular had a night of increasing – and rare – frustration. • This will be Barça's 100th match in the UEFA Champions League. So far, they have won 52, drawn 24 and lost 23 with 188 goals scored and 120 conceded.

• Of the 32 teams competing in this season's UEFA Champions League, they are second only to Real Madrid CF in terms of total matches played in UEFA club competition with 323 games in which they have won 173, drawn 75 and lost 75 with 621 goals scored and 339 goals conceded.
Team facts: Panathinaikos • Panathinaikos are competing in their fifth UEFA Champions League in the past six seasons having missed out on qualification for the 2002/03 season. Having finished in third place in each of the past two group stage campaigns, which resulted in a switch to the UEFA Cup, the Greek side will be looking to emulate their performance of the 2001/02 season when they reached the quarter-finals before losing 3-2 on aggregate to FC Barcelona. • With Hungarian legend Ferenc Puskás at the helm, Panathinaikos enjoyed their most successful UEFA club competition season during their 1970/71 campaign, advancing to the final of the European Champion Clubs' Cup final only to lose 2-0 to AFC Ajax. • Panathinaikos finished one point behind Olympiacos CFP in the Greek Ethniki Kategoria last season which provided them with a third qualifying round tie against Polish champions Wisla Kraków. The prospects of advancing to the group stage proper for the third successive season looked rather grim as Wisla raced to a 3-1 lead following the first leg. Panathinaikos's Polish international Emmanuel Olisadebe actually opened the scoring after four minutes, but Wisla hit back to claim a two-goal advantage. With the return leg scoreless at the interval, it looked good for the Polish side, but Panathinaikos were not finished as Nasief Morris (62), Olisadebe (65) and Dimitrios Papadopoulos (85) forced the match into extra time with Wisla's goal coming from Radoslaw Sobolewski (78). The Greek side then hit the winner five minutes from the end of extra time through Ilias Kotsios to break Polish hearts. • The Greek side failed to capitalise on such an emotional qualification in their opening match in the group stage, slumping to a 3-0 defeat away by debutants, Udinese Calcio. But they bounced back at home at Werder Bremen's expense on Matchday 2, running out 2-1 winners to keep in touch with early pacesetters, Barcelona. The Greek team got off to a fast start against their German opponents with Ezequiel González opening the scoring from the penalty spot after five minutes before Evagelos Mantzios added a second three minutes later. It took Bremen until four minutes before the break to dent Panathinaikos' lead as Miroslav Klose reduced the deficit, but the Greek side held on for the win as the German club were reduced to ten men following the dismissal of Ivan Klasnić. • On Matchday 3, Panathinaikos blunted the threeman attack of Barcelona with, in the end, some comfort to secure a UEFA Champions League draw which will not harm either side's chances of reaching the next stage. Only occasionally were the two goalkeepers called into action, as Ronaldinho in particular had a night of increasing – and rare – frustration. However, when Panathinaikos come to the Camp Nou for Barcelona's 100th UEFA Champions League game on Matchday 4, they will be hard

pressed to hold out in this style again. • To date, Panathinaikos have played 57 matches in the UEFA Champions League. They have recorded 20 wins, 14 draws and 23 defeats with 62 goals scored and 69 conceded. • In UEFA club competition, their record reads: played 190, won 67, drawn 47, lost 76 with 238 goals scored and 254 conceded.
Match facts: Barcelona v Panathinaikos • Barcelona’s Ronaldinho is the competition’s top scorer after three matchdays with four goals in 270 minutes played. The Brazilian international is closely followed by Fenerbahçe SK’s Alex with three goals from 266 minutes. Also on three goals is Udinese Calcio’s Vincenzo Iaquinta from 180 minutes played. In total, 14 players have scored two goals with special mention reserved for Arsenal FC’s Thierry Henry and AFC Ajax’s Yannis Anastasiou who netted on two occasions in the 75 and 82 minutes in which they have played respectively so far this season. • Four strikers share the title of being the player ruled offside on the most occasions after three matchdays, namely Nicolas Anelka (Fenerbahçe SK), Samuel Eto’o (Barcelona), Miroslav Slepička (AC Sparta Praha) and Sándor Torghelle (Panathinaikos FC). Each of the four players have been flagged on eight occasions. • AFC Ajax have enjoyed 111 minutes of ball possession during the opening three matchdays – a match average of 37 minutes, five minutes ahead of nearest pursuers Real Madrid CF (97 minutes) and Barcelona (96 minutes). At the other end of the scale, AC Sparta Praha have enjoyed the least ball possession with 67 total minutes, two behind Liverpool FC and Rosenborg BK. • His clean sheet in the 50 win against Real Sociedad de Fútbol means goalkeeper Víctor Valdés has now gone 364 minutes without conceding a single goal. • The last time Valdés was beaten was by RC Deportivo de la Coruña's Rubén Castro in the 33 draw on 15 October. • Carles Puyol's spectacular diving header against Real Sociedad de Fútbol on Sunday night was his first goal since the 2001/2 season, and his third in total for the Blaugranas. • Puyol and Valdés have clocked up the most minutes in the squad this term, having played 810 minutes in total. • Puyol is two matches away from 50 in the UEFA Champions League. • Excluding the goalless draw against Panathinaikos on Matchday 3, Barcelona have only gone one league game without finding the net the 00 draw against Deportivo Alavés SAD in the first game of the season on 27 August. • Barcelona are the side that have produced the most shots on goal in Spain's top flight.

• Frank Rijkaard's team also forced the greatest number of saves in a single game this season 19, from Málaga CF keeper and former Barça stopper Francesc Arnau. • Ronaldinho's goal tally to date stands at six in the league and four in Champions League half of those goals came from the penalty spot. • Deco, Samuel Eto'o, Ronaldinho, Mark van Bommel and Xaxi Hernández are among the 50 players nominated for the European Footballer of the Year award. The winner of the Ballon d'Or will be announced on 28 November. • FC Internazionale Milano’s Julio Cruz has been fouled on 16 occasions during the 245 minutes that he has played the competition thus far during the competition, the highest of all players. Not far behind are Panathinaikos’ Evagelos Mantzios (15 fouls in 162 minutes) and FC Schalke 04’s Levan Kobiashvili (14 fouls in 270 minutes). • Liverpool FC players have been adjudged to have strayed off only three times in the opening three matchdays of the competition, one behind SK Rapid Wien, FC Artmedia and Villarreal CF. Topping the rankings are FC Internazionale Milano (18) and Panathinaikos (17). • Panathinaikos recorded their fourth home victory over PAOK Thessaloniki in the Greek League in the last four years. • So far Panathinaikos, with three, have received more red cards than any team in the Greek league. They are second from last in the yellow cards' list (16). • The weekend victory against PAOK is the club's second 10 victory in the league this season (the other being against Akratitos a fortnight ago). On both occasions, Evagelos Mantzios has been the scorer, both times with an early goal and, on both occasions, a match against Barcelona was next on the menu. • Mantzios is also Panathinaikos’ top scorer so far, with four goals (three in the league and one in the UEFA Champions League), while Ezequiel González has 3 goals (2 in the league and 1 in the UEFA Champions League). • Goalkeeper Mario Galinović is the only Panathinaikos' player who has not missed a minute of the club's eleven official matches in all competitions. Ezequiel González has also played some part in all eleven matches, but had fewer minutes (901). • So far, newly signed Igor Bišćan is yet to appear on the winning side in a league match for Panathinaikos. • Captain Ioannis Goumas is the only Panathinaikos player who has played more than 200 matches in the Greek top flight (214 matches). • Barcelona are the only side not to have scored against Panathinaikos in Greece in the UEFA Champions League since April 2002. Curiously enough, the last time that Panathinaikos did not concede a home goal in the competition was against the same

side. On 3 April 2002, they defeated Barcelona 10 with a solitary penalty by Angelos Basinas.
Competition facts UEFA Champions League: Did you know? • Only Group A in the 2005/06 UEFA Champions League group stage contains four domestic league champions from their respective 2004/05 domestic seasons. SK Rapid Wien won the Austrian Bundesliga by a point from Grazer AK. Club Brugge KV won the Belgian first division by three points from RSC Anderlecht. FC Bayern München won the German Bundesliga by 14 points from FC Schalke 04, while Juventus won the Italian Serie A championship by seven points from AC Milan, with FC Internazionale Milano and Udinese Calcio a further seven and 17 points behind. • This season Manchester United FC have extended their consecutive participation in the UEFA Champions League to ten, a record in the competition. Bayern, PSV Eindhoven, Olympiacos CFP and Real Madrid CF are making their ninth consecutive appearance, one ahead of Arsenal FC. • In addition, Manchester United have qualified for the knockout stages of the competition for the each of the past nine seasons, winning the European Champion Clubs' Cup at the end of the 1998/99 campaign. The English club have also advanced as far as the semifinals twice, the quarterfinals four times and the first knockout round twice in the other eight seasons. • Of all 32 clubs competing in this season's UEFA Champions League, only Real Betis Balompié did not participate in a UEFA club competition during the 2004/05 season. • Six clubs competing in the 2005/06 UEFA Champions League were involved in the competition when it started during the 1992/93 season with two rounds preceding the group stage. AC Milan were beaten finalists (to Olympique de Marseille), while Club Brugge, PSV, Rangers FC and FC Porto all participated in the group stage. FC Barcelona were knocked out in the second round, the last hurdle to enter the group stage. • Defending champions Liverpool FC entered the competition at the first qualifying round stage having not secured one of the automatic qualification slots available for finishing in the top four places in last season's English Premiership, but they are not the only club to have played six matches to advance to the group stage a feat shared by FC Artmedia. Three clubs also made it from the second qualifying round: Rapid Wien, Anderlecht and FC Thun. • Both Arsenal and Schalke remain the only two clubs among this season's participants never to have played a UEFA Champions League qualifyinground match. At the start of the 2005/06 UEFA Champions League all of Arsenal's 68 matches were restricted to the group stage and beyond while Schalke's six matches had come in the first group stage of the 2001/02 season, their sole previous participation before this campaign.

Head coach profiles
Frank Rijkaard If Frank Rijkaard's second season at FC Barcelona was anything to go by – a Spanish title and some memorable performances in the UEFA Champions League – there is no reason why he cannot steer one of Europe's grandest clubs to even greater glory. Perhaps it is no coincidence that his mentor as a youngster was Johan Cruyff. The Dutch legend groomed Rijkaard at AFC Ajax in 1979 where the defender progressed so quickly that he was pulling on the Netherlands shirt aged just 19. In 1987, Rijkaard left the Amsterdam club and had brief spells in Portugal and Spain before committing the key years of his career to AC Milan with whom he twice won the European Champion Clubs' Cup. Highly versatile, Rijkaard played in midfield for Milan but in central defence for his country as they lifted the 1988 UEFA European Championship. He returned to Ajax in 1993 and helped them, ironically, defeat Milan in the 1995 UEFA Champions League final in Vienna. When he eventually hung up his boots, heads turned as Rijkaard was appointed coach of his country before UEFA EURO 2000™. A semi-final place followed but Rijkaard left his post to pursue a career in club management. His first stint ended poorly, as he resigned from Sparta Rotterdam in May 2002 when they were relegated from the Dutch Eredivisie for the first time, although Barça were not put off and have since seen their faith repaid handsomely.
Alberto Malesani Organisation has always been the hallmark of Alberto Malesani's teams. A disciplinarian hailing from the Sir Alex Ferguson school of thinking, Malesani loves his sides to play the good, flowing brand of football which helped him achieve so much with AC Chievo Verona. He steered them up the Italian football ladder in the 1990s after a low profile playing career in the lower leagues. His next stop saw him take the step up to Serie A in 1997 with ACF Fiorentina where he revived their flagging fortunes by guiding them to UEFA Cup qualification. The following year he was appointed coach at Parma FC, where he won the UEFA Cup and the Coppa Italia in 1999. A car accident forced him to give up his post early and, when he finally recovered the following summer, he returned to his home town to coach HellasVerona FC. Despite an exceptional start to the campaign which saw Verona fighting for a place in the UEFA Cup, the team started a spectacular slump which ended in relegation. After failing to get his career back on track in Italy with Modena FC, he was named as Panathinaikos FC's third coach of the season in February 2005. A 2-1 win at OFI Crete FC on the final day of the campaign subsequently secured UEFA Champions League football once again even though the Greens relinquished their Greek title to Olympiacos CFP.

Some referees can impose their authority with their physical presence: at 2.03m tall, the giant Dutchman René Temmink is one such match official Temmink was born on 24 June 1960 and raised in Deventer, the city he still calls home. His height advantage proved a major advantage in helping him make his mark and in January 1995 he earned his FIFA badge. Temmink proved his versatility in Futsal qualifying matches and gained invaluable experience at the 1996 UEFA European Under-18 Championship - taking charge of a final which saw a France team including Thierry Henry, William Gallas and David Trezeguet overcome a Spanish side featuring David Albelda. Henry scored the only goal, incidentally. His displays in Besançon gave a considerable boost to Temmink’s career both at home and in Europe, and assignments continued to come thick and fast for the Dutchman. During the 2003/04 season, he refereed two UEFA Champions League and two UEFA Cup matches, and was also called up for duty in a Ligue 1 game between AS Monaco FC and Olympique Lyonnais while France’s referees attended their winter course. Temmink's star shone even brighter in 2004/05 as he presided over five UEFA Champions League matches - including Chelsea FC's quarter-final first-leg defeat of FC Bayern München. He was also in the middle when Liverpool FC saw off PFC CSKA Moskva in the 2005 UEFA Super Cup in Monaco.

Barça lead victory parade (Sunday, 30 October 2005)
FC Barcelona were in searing form on Sunday, defeating Real Sociedad de Fútbol 5-0 to claim their fifth straight league victory. There were also wins for Panathinaikos FC and Werder Bremen, but Udinese Calcio had to settle for a point. FC Barcelona 5-0 Real Sociedad de Fútbol Barcelona recorded their biggest win since February 2004, defeating Real Sociedad by an emphatic 5-0 scoreline with two goals from Ronaldinho on Sunday. The victory came on the back of a 2-0 win against Málaga CF on Wednesday and brought up the Catalan side's fifth consecutive triumph to place them second in the table. The win came despite Frank Rijkaard being without injured duo Deco (groin) and Juliano Belletti (knee). Rafael Márquez was also granted leave on personal grounds but there was better news for the Barcelona coach in the shape of Gabri García being given the all-clear to return to the fold after his ankle injury. Mark van Bommel fired in the opener on 18 minutes then set up Ronaldinho to drive in the second ten minutes before half-time. The Brazilian added a third from a free-kick on the hour, before the visitors were reduced to ten men when Gari Uranga was sent off midway through the second half. Carles Puyol and Henrik Larsson rounded off the victory with headers on 74 and 85 minutes respectively. "My players offered a great image of Barcelona tonight," Rijkaard said. "We played well and the result is pleasing but we will not fall into the trap of believing that we are the same side as last season. Overall this was a comprehensive win - [striker Samuel] Eto'o was unlucky but in time the goals will come for him." Udinese Calcio 0-0 US Città di Palermo Udinese drew at home against UEFA Cup contenders Palermo on Sunday. It was the second draw in four days after Vidigal's late goal had saved a point for Serse Cosmi's team at Ascoli Calcio 1898 on Wednesday. Against Palermo, Cosmi adopted a rotation system, resting full-backs Damiano Zenoni and Vincent Candela. The Udinese coach fielded Marco Motta on the right and Stefano Mauri on the left. Striker Vincenzo Iaquinta started from the bench and took the field seven minutes into the second half. Christian Obodo returned to the starting lineup after missing the last two games due to suspension. Defender Cesare Natali and forward Paulo Barreto are still out with ankle and thigh injuries respectively. Neither side created many chances, although Udinese had the better of the second half and went close through Vidigal and Iaquinta. A minute from time goalkeeper Morgan De Sanctis ensured the draw with a superb save from Paul Codrea's free-kick. Udinese defender Nestor Sensini said: "We are not in a very good period. We are

struggling to create opportunities to score but I think it's only because we are playing twice every week and we are not in perfect physical condition. Palermo, however, are a very good side." Werder Bremen 4-1 Eintracht Frankfurt Bremen achieved a resounding win against Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday, having been taken to a penalty shoot-out by VfL Wolfsburg on Tuesday, which they won to progress to the German Cup third round. Bremen appeared to be suffering the aftereffects of that cup win after falling behind to a 19th-minute Ioannis Amanatidis goal. However, Bremen rallied courtesy of strikes from Torsten Frings, Tim Borowski, who scored twice, and Miroslav Klose to stay second and two points behind Bundesliga leaders FC Bayern München. Bremen coach Thomas Schaaf went into the match with a long list of absentees. Frank Fahrenhorst was suspended following his dismissal against Hannover 96 last week, Petri Pasanen was still not match fit, while Jelle Van Damme and Daniel Jensen were both sidelined with groin injuries. Ümit Davala (hip) and Tim Wiese (cruciate ligament) remain long-term problems, though Johan Micoud and Christian Schulz shook off minor knocks to return, after missing the cup win. "We had to chase the game after falling behind but my players kept their cool and stuck to our game plan," said Schaaf. "Therefore I am extremely happy with our performance and with the result." Panathinaikos FC 1-0 PAOK FC A solitary goal by Evagelos Mantzios gave Panathinaikos a hard-fought victory against PAOK at Athens' Olympic Stadium on Sunday. Alberto Malesani's side are now fourth in the Alpha Ethniki with 14 points from eight matches, five points behind leaders Xanthi FC. On 14 minutes, Ezequiel González played a clever through-ball for Mantzios, whose left-footed shot sealed all three points. Panathinaikos then sat back on their lead, playing defensively and never seeing their advantage seriously threatened. Malesani was without the injured Ioannis Goumas, while substitute goalkeeper Pierre Owono Ebede was sidelined with a groin injury. Igor Bišćan and Sotirios Leontiou were rested. Goalscorer Mantzios suffered ankle trouble and, not wanting to risk a recurrence of his recent injury, Malesani replaced him with Emmanuel Olisadebe at halftime. "I believe we deserved to win," said Malesani. "However, this victory was hard to achieve because PAOK are an excellent side. We have discovered our best tactics and style of play, we've got a specific role for each player, are in good physical condition and relations between the players are excellent. What we lack is continuity in our performances, but we can improve on that."

UEFA information
The week in UEFA • Record sales levels The UEFA Champions League remains not only a top-notch sporting competition, but also a high-quality commercial attraction. The next three seasons between 2006 and 2009 will produce record sales levels from a buoyant market and will also introduce new partners. The sales process, conducted on UEFA's behalf by its partners TEAM Marketing, has already seen the awarding of the broadcast rights in all the major European markets, with the full lineup of six top level sponsorship partners to be confirmed shortly. "This successful picture underlines the attractiveness of the UEFA Champions League in its current 13-matchweek format," said UEFA. "The financial return to UEFA and the participating clubs for the 2006-09 period will comfortably outstrip the previous record of over CHF1bn per season, which was achieved when the previous 17-matchweek format was in place." UEFA revamped the Champions League format for the 2003/04 season, introducing one group stage and a 16-team knockout phase to bring added excitement. The mainstream broadcaster partners for the 2006-09 period in the major European markets are: UK: ITV and BSkyB / ESP: Antena 3 and Canal+ ITA: RAI (free-to-air), Mediaset (DTT) and Sky Italia (DTH) FRA: TF1 and Canal+ / GER: Premiere (free-to-air and pay TV) NED: NOS and UPC / Scandinavia: TV3 and Viasat GRE: ERT and Supersport. • Media hotel in Paris Fifty years after the first European Champion Clubs' Cup final was played at the old Parc des Princes, the final of Europe's leading club competition is returning to Paris. It will be played on Wednesday 17 May, kicking off at 20.45 at the Stade de France in Paris Saint-Denis. Press kits on Matchday 4 include the link to the hotel booking form for this season's UEFA Champions League final. The fact we are highlighting this so early in the campaign is a clear indication of how difficult it might be to obtain accommodation in Paris next May, bearing in mind that the city is a prime tourist destination. The Holiday Inn La Villette has provisionally reserved rooms for media representatives who intend to cover the final. The hotel has 182 rooms with full facilities (including direct-dial telephones) plus fitness and business centres and a private garage. If you wish to make a booking you are urged to take action in good time. The deadline for reserving rooms at the Holiday Inn La Villette is Thursday 15 December.
