Match background

A second successive victory for FC Internazionale Milano has enabled Roberto Mancini's side to recover from theirsurprise Matchday 1 defeat against Fenerbahçe SK and take control of Group G, though only two points separatesthe top three teams. With just one point gained so far, PFC CSKA Moskva must show their qualities in this returnagainst the Italian champions.

• Inter had gone behind in the first game between the sides two weeks ago as Jô fired in astutely. But the visitorsrallied in the second half, equalising through Hernán Crespo before Walter Samuel's first UEFA Champions Leaguegoal gave them a valuable victory.

• It enabled Mancini's team to take the leader's baton in Group G with a one-point advantage over Fenerbahçe andincreased their prospects of claiming a place in the knockout stages for the fifth time in six seasons.

• After their 1-0 loss at Fenerbahçe, the Nerazzurri got their seventh UEFA Champions League campaign on trackas Zlatan Ibrahimović struck two goals to condemn PSV Eindhoven to defeat at San Siro.

• The victory in Moscow then continued Inter's domination of Russian opponents. In eleven games they have wonseven and drawn three and are currently on a run of three back-to-back victories. Their only defeat came when FCLokomotiv Moskva got the better of them in Russia in the 2003/04 UEFA Champions League group stage. The 23October encounter was their first against CSKA.

• At home, Inter have a near-spotless record against Russian visitors, winning four (all by a single goal) and drawingthe other. That was the return game against Lokomotiv after the 3-0 away defeat, and it proved crucial with the teamstied on eight points at the end of the campaign. The Russian team went through on head-to-head results.

• CSKA, the back-markers in Group G with just a single point, will be looking for their first win in this year's edition atthe fourth attempt. Fenerbahçe's equaliser five minutes from time in the Lokomotiv Stadium was a blow on Matchday2 after Valeri Gazzaev's side had recovered from an early deficit to pull ahead through Miloš Krasić and Vágner Love'spenalty. With a 2-1 defeat by PSV in the Netherlands two weeks previously, CSKA knew at that stage they had atough task to improve on two successive third-place finishes in the group stage.

• They have previously met only two Italian sides in European competition and in three home-and-away meetingstheir away performances have held up well.

• In the 2004/05 UEFA Cup semi-final first leg CSKA drew 0-0 away to Parma FC, a result which paved the way forthem to reach the final thanks to a 3-0 win in the home leg, and what would prove Russia's first UEFA club competitiontrophy. Their only defeat in Italy also came with Parma in opposition, a 3-2 defeat in the 2002/03 UEFA Cup firstround.

• The other Group G encounter features the return between Fenerbahçe and PSV.

Match facts

Inter

• Luís Figo made his 100th appearance in the UEFA Champions League in Moscow. Only his former Real MadridCF team-mates Raúl González (111 appearances), Roberto Carlos (110) and David Beckham (103), plus PaoloMaldini (105) and Oliver Kahn (103) have also reached that landmark.

• Iván Córdoba's next appearance in UEFA club competition will be his 50th.

• Zlatan Ibrahimović has committed 14 fouls to date, the most in the competition.

• Cristian Chivu and David Suazo are available again after serving one-match bans following their red cards onMatchday 2 against PSV. Walter Samuel and Ibrahimović are within one booking of a suspension. Nicolás Burdissoserves the fourth of a six-match ban.

• Figo celebrated his 35th birthday on 4 November, the day before Suazo turned 28.

• Samuel scored his first UEFA Champions League goal in his 43rd appearance against CSKA, adding to his twoUEFA Cup goals for AS Roma in 2000/01. The defender said: "I was so happy that I did not even manage to celebrateproperly."

• Inter maintained their unbeaten start to the season with a 1-1 draw at Juventus on Sunday although their advantageat the top of the Serie A table was cut to two points by ACF Fiorentina. Inter took the lead four minutes before half-timewhen Julio Cruz kept his cool to slot past Gianluigi Buffon after being sent clear by Júlio César. Ibrahimović andsecond-half substitute Suazo could have made it 2-0 but squandered chances and Juve secured a point 13 minutesfrom time when Mauro Camoranesi's deflected effort beat Júlio César.

• Júlio César was in the side after recovering from a back injury, though Dejan Stanković (ankle), Patrick Vieira(calf), Francesco Toldo (foot) and Marco Materazzi (thigh) were all ruled out, and only the latter is close to a return.Córdoba played in central defence, with Chivu preferred to Maxwell as left-back. Javier Zanetti andEsteban Cambiasso were partnered at the heart of the midfield with Figo and César Aparecido on the flanks, whileCruz and Ibrahimović led the attack.

• Roberto Mancini said: "It's a pity because we wasted a lot of opportunities to score the second goal. It is the lawof football: If you don't kill a game off you will be punished. We should have been more clinical, especially as we werefacing a team like Juventus who never give up. The result was not fair, though. We clearly deserved victory as weplayed very well."

• Figo lasted just past the hour before limping off with a calf knock and Mancini's injury worries grew four minutesfrom time when Maicon suffered a hip injury.

Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, MilanMATCH PRESS KIT

• A scan on Monday revealed Figo fractured his right fibula in a tackle with Juve's Pavel Nedvěd. The Inter wingerwill miss the rest of the group stage and underwent surgery on 6 November, although he is not expected to return toaction until early 2008.

• Alongside Fiorentina, Inter have the best defensive record in Serie having conceded seven goals.

• Vieira tore his right calf muscle early on in Moscow on Matchday 3 and scans ruled him out for two months, thoughMancini said: "I hope he will be back in 30-40 days."

• Four days after the CSKA game Serie A leaders Inter were held to a 0-0 draw at US Città di Palermo. Both sidescreated a good number of opportunities, with Inter going closest when Chivu hit the bar with a long-range free-kick.Former Inter goalkeeper Alberto Fontana also made a series of good saves for the home side.

• Mancini fielded Samuel and Córdoba in the centre of defence, with Maicon at right-back and Chivu preferred toMaxwell on the left.

• "It has been a positive week for us," Mancini said. "We had three away games and we had to do a lot of travelling.We controlled the game today and had lots of chances but unfortunately the ball wouldn't go in. And we also had afew problems during the match with the injuries to Stanković and Júlio César."

• Júlio César had to be substituted at half-time after succumbing to a back injury, making way for Paolo Orlandoni.The goalkeeper's regular understudy, Toldo, was unavailable for the game in Palermo having fractured the secondmetatarsal in his right foot during his third league appearance of the season at Reggina Calcio on 20 October andruled out for seven weeks.

• Stanković will be out of action for another week after twisting his ankle. The Serbian international was carried offthe field on a stretcher amid concerns that, in addition to ankle damage, he might have broken his leg. However, afterreturning to Milan for a scan, the 29-year-old was informed that his fibula was not fractured.

• The goalless draw at Palermo was the first Serie A game this season in which Inter had failed to score.

• Three days after the draw in Palermo, Inter continued their unbeaten start to the league with a 4-1 home win againstGenoa CFC. Córdoba opened the scoring after eight minutes from close range after a Hernán Crespo header hadhit the bar. Cambiasso opened his account for the season early in the second half from another rebound after Genoagoalkeeper Rubinho had only parried a free-kick by Chivu. Konko pulled one back in the 73rd minute but withinseconds Suazo was on target for his first Inter goal. The Honduran striker was then fouled inside the box and Cruzmade it four from the penalty spot.

• With Toldo and Júlio César unavailable, Orlandoni started in goal. Mancini rested Ibrahimović in attack anddeployed Cruz and Crespo, Suazo replacing the latter 20 minutes from time.

• Suazo was delighted to open his account for the club, whom he joined from Cagliari Calcio in the summer. "I'm veryhappy about my first goal," he said. "I have always worked hard and given my all. The best thing was my team-mates'show of affection after the goal. All of them really wanted me to score; this shows how united we are."

• Mancini said: "I'm very pleased. We had a great game against a difficult team. The players moved well on the pitch.I'm happy about Suazo's goal. It's always important for a striker to score. I don't think this goal can change everything,but it will give him the confidence he deserves."

• Orlandoni made a second Serie A appearance in a season for the first time since joining Inter in 2005. He hadplayed once in 2005/06 and did not feature at all last term. "I'm very pleased and I thank Mancini," the keeper said."My team-mates also give me confidence and this has made it all easier for me. It's never easy to make yourselfready, but I'm pleased because it went well today."




• Inter have scored at least one goal in their last 44 home games in Serie A, totalling 102. The last blank was a 0-0draw against Reggina Calcio in 2004/05.

• Córdoba scored his second goal of the season, having failed to register in Serie A last term.

• Zanetti is the only Inter player to have appeared in all games so far this season.

• The Nerazzurri have not lost an away league game since April 2006, their only defeat of last term coming at hometo AS Roma.

• Vieira is on the 30-strong list of nominees for the 2007 FIFA World Player of the Year award. The prize is voted forby national team coaches and captains and the winner is announced on 17 December in Zurich. Two players havewon the award in the past in years in which they were on the books of Inter: Lothar Matthäus took the inauguralhonour in 1991 and Ronaldo won in 1997 and 2002, the years he joined and left the club.

CSKA

• Deividas Šemberas's next appearance in UEFA club competition will be his 50th.

• Miloš Krasić celebrated his 23rd birthday on 1 November.

• Jô has had eight shots wide to date, together with Fernandinho and Rui Costa the most in the competition.

• CSKA have no players suspended or within a yellow card of a ban.

• CSKA won 1-0 at FC Kuban Krasnodar on Saturday, the penultimate weekend of the Russian Premier-Liga season,to climb above FC Moskva and into third. The evenly-matched contest was decided when Evgeni Aldonin scoredthe only goal on 79 minutes after a ball from Yuri Zhirkov.

• CSKA coach Valeri Gazzaev said: "I am just very happy we won. It was difficult to play on such a soggy pitch butstill we managed to create many opportunities. We did not take them though and it could have ended badly for us.Any mistake by the defence or the keeper would have cost us points. So it was very important Igor Akinfeev produceda perfect performance."

• Akinfeev returned to the fray for the first time since May after recovering from his knee ligament injury whileAleksei Berezutski and Dudu also came into the side after spells on the sidelines.

• Vágner Love and Sergei Ignashevich were both out, however, with Ignashevich suffering a hairline fracture to hischeekbone in the Russian Cup win against FC Spartak Nalchik on 31 October. He will not feature against Inter, whileVágner Love is struggling with a thigh injury sustained on international duty.

• With Vágner Love out CSKA lined up in a 3-5-1-1 formation against Kuban with Jô acting as the lone striker.Dawid Janczyk came on for Dudu after 66 minutes and CSKA switched to 3-5-2. After taking the lead, Gazzaevreplaced Janczyk with Ivan Taranov.

• CSKA had returned to winning ways following the Matchday 3 defeat by Inter with a 4-2 home victory against FCKrylya Sovetov Samara on 28 October. Gazzaev's side were 3-0 up by half-time courtesy of two goals from Jô (31and 41) after Eduardo had opened the scoring on seven minutes. David Mujiri pulled a goal back six minutes intothe second half but Zhirkov restored CSKA's three-goal advantage on 57 minutes before Krzysztof Lagiewka madethe final score 4-2.




• CSKA were without Ignashevich and Vágner Love, while Aleksei Berezutski (shin), Dudu (ankle), and Šemberas(groin) were all sidelined. Aldonin swapped his usual midfield berth for a place in defence to fill the void left byBerezutski and Šemberas.

• Despite the victory, results in the other matches mean CSKA cannot finish second and will thus miss out on UEFAChampions League football next season. CSKA last finished outside the top two in 2001, when they ended the seasonin seventh position.

• Evgeni Pomazan, a UEFA European Under-17 Championship winner with Russia in 2006, made his debut againstKrylya Sovetov. Pomazan is on loan from Kuban.

• "I had to play Aldonin in defence because there was no other option," said Gazzaev. "We were without three leadingdefenders – Šemberas, Berezutski and Ignashevich – but we have tried Aldonin in this position before during friendlygames and he was OK. Let's hope we have now unearthed another good centre-back for the team. I do hope all theinjured players will be back [soon]."

• On 31 October CSKA advanced to the semi-finals of the Russian Cup by defeating Spartak Nalchik 2-1 at the LuzhnikiStadium. Nazir Kazharov's early goal put Nalchik in front, before second-half strikes from Jô and Daniel Carvalhoturned the match in CSKA's favour.

• Jô's goal was his fourth in three different competitions inside a week following his earlier efforts against Inter andKrylya Sovetov.

• Veniamin Mandrykin returned in place of Pomazan in goal, while Ignashevich also started. Vágner Love, Dudu,Šemberas and Berezutski again sat out the match.

• Ignashevich was substituted in the second half after being struck by Nalchik's Miodrag Džudovic, who was sent offfor a second bookable offence.

• "We conceded a quick goal against a very well-organised team who can defend well and are also good on thecounterattack," said Gazzaev. "The goal changed the course of the match as we started rushing which led to moremistakes. We played our third match in a week, so everyone was a bit tired. In the second half, a fresh Dawid Janczykcame on and he strengthened the team. We switched to two out-and-out strikers and created enough chances."

• Vágner Love has been called up by Brazil for the forthcoming 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Peru on 18November and Uruguay three days later.

Head coach

FC Internazionale Milano: Roberto ManciniDate of birth: 27 November 1964Nationality: ItalianPlaying career: Bologna FC, UC Sampdoria, S.S. Lazio, Leicester City FCCoaching career: ACF Fiorentina, S.S. Lazio, FC Internazionale Milano

Roberto Mancini became FC Internazionale Milano's eleventh coach since 1995 on 7 July 2004, replacing AlbertoZaccheroni one day after terminating his contract with S.S. Lazio, and is now considered one of the most stylish andpromising trainers in Italy. As a player Mancini made his Serie A debut on 13 September 1981 for Bologna FC, goingon to play for Sampdoria UC, S.S. Lazio and Leicester City FC.

He won two Serie A titles (one each with Sampdoria and Lazio) six Coppa Italias (four with Sampdoria, two with Lazio)and two UEFA Cup Winners' Cups (one with Sampdoria, one with Lazio). For the Italian national team, Mancini won36 caps and scored four goals. He then started his coaching career as assistant to future England manager Sven-GöranEriksson at Lazio before replacing Fatih Terim at ACF Fiorentina in spring 2001. After leading Fiorentina to the CoppaItalia, he returned to Lazio and repeated that feat as well as steering the Roman club into the UEFA ChampionsLeague and the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup.

Inter saw him as the man to end a Serie A title drought stretching back to the 1988/89 season and for the secondtime, having done so when appointed at Lazio, Mancini replaced Zaccheroni. He immediately led the Nerazzurri toCoppa Italia glory, Inter's first domestic honour since that 1989 Scudetto. Then, after Juventus were stripped of their2005/06 title and AC Milan suffered a points penalty, Inter were finally crowned champions of Italy again. Mancinirepeated that success in 2006/07 although he has yet to make a major impact in the UEFA Champions League. PFC CSKA Moskva: Valeri GazzaevDate of birth: 7 August 1954Nationality: RussianPlaying career: FC Spartak Ordzhonikidze, SKA Rostov-Na-Donu, FC Lokomotiv Moskva, FC Dinamo Moskva, FCDinamo TbilisiCoaching career: FC Dinamo Moskva, FC Alania Vladikavkaz, PFC CSKA Moskva (twice), Russia

Valeri Gazzaev enjoyed the greatest achievement of his colourful career in May 2005 when he led PFC CSKA Moskvato UEFA Cup glory. In addition, the former Russia coach has won four domestic titles with three of these comingduring his reign at CSKA, including the 2006 championship.

Gazzaev played for a number of clubs in a successful career as a forward, winning the Soviet Cup with FC DinamoMoskva in 1984 and he also appeared eight times for the Soviet national team, scoring four goals. He began hiseventful coaching career with Dinamo before spells with FC Alania Vladikavkaz and CSKA, making his coaching nameas he led unfashionable Alania to the title in 1995. He also enjoyed success in his first spell at CSKA, winning theRussian Cup in 2002, when his team lost a Russian Premier League title play-off against FC Lokomotiv Moskva.However, CSKA led from start to finish the following season to claim their first Russian title.

The spell at CSKA overlapped with a short-lived stint as Russia coach. Gazzaev started off brightly in the UEFA EURO2004™ qualifiers but resigned following defeats by Albania and Georgia. He then returned to CSKA where he won asecond title in three years in November 2005, completing a wonderful treble. The Russian Cup had been secured inMay and that month CSKA became the first Russian side to win a European trophy as they overcame Sporting Clubede Portugal at their home ground to win the UEFA Cup.

UEFA information

FARE Action WeekThe eighth annual Football Against Racism in Europe (FARE) network Action Week closes with organisers delightedat the pan-European drive to emphasise the message that racism, intolerance and violence have no place in football.The FARE Action Week is co-ordinated by the FARE network in co-operation with UEFA. Activities have been designedto raise awareness of the issues and underline football's determination to tackle them. Initiatives have been led by –among others – campaigning non-governmental organisations, fan groups, clubs, national associations, ethnicminorities, youth groups and schools.

Every high-profile platform has been used by the football community to highlight the fight against racism. From UEFAChampions League and UEFA EURO 2008™ matches to domestic league games across the continent, the signal tothe racists has been clear – get out of our game. UEFA's flagship club competition, the UEFA Champions League,showcased the FARE/UEFA activities on Matchday 3, with all 32 teams displaying their opposition to racism as partof UEFA's contribution to the FARE Action Week.

Europe's leading leagues have also been making a stand against racism. All professional clubs in England andScotland regularly participate and the German Bundesliga expanded its engagement over two weekends so all sidesin the top two divisions had the chance to take part in the anti-racist activity at a home match. The leagues were alsoactive in Austria, the Republic of Ireland, F.Y.R. Macedonia, Portugal, Serbia and Slovenia. For the first time, Israelhas joined in the Action Week, together with Greece, Sweden and Switzerland as much-valued newcomers. Anti-racistactivities have been organised by fan clubs at league fixtures in Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, France,England, Germany, Greece, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Scotland, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerlandand Ukraine.

FARE matchUEFA gave further support to the FARE Action Week by staging a match in Nyon, Switzerland, on 29 October. Ateam composed of UEFA staff members played against footballers from the Organisation Sportive Africa-Suisse atthe Colovray Stadium opposite UEFA's headquarters. Before the game, the visitors were shown around UEFA'sHouse of European Football and viewed the many European trophies on display, before emerging as 3-1 winners onthe pitch.

"We want to see the 'beautiful game' played without the cancer of racism," says FARE. "Football is the biggest sportin the world and belongs to us all. It should be the right of every person to play, watch and discuss it freely, withoutfear. Unfortunately, at all levels of the game, from amateur to international, there are incidents of racism. Be it fromfans, players, clubs or other football bodies, FARE believes that such behaviour, on and off the field, is unacceptableand unwanted by the majority of fans and players."

Cerebral Palsy finalsThe Cerebral Palsy International Sports and Recreation Association (CPISRA) – which received UEFA's annualCHF1m charity cheque in 2007 – has held the draw for the CPISRA Football Seven-a-Side World Championship tobe held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in mid-November with 16 teams divided into four groups of four. Founded in 1978,CPISRA is an international governing sports body for athletes with cerebral palsy or traumatic brain injury, stroke andother related conditions. CPISRA has its own version of football, a modified seven-a-side game that has been playedby athletes with cerebral palsy for many years.

Competition information

UEFA's most prestigious club competition was originally created as the European Champion Clubs' Cup for the1955/56 season, before its revamping as the UEFA Champions League in 1992.

• Format: The UEFA Champions League group stage draw in Monaco on 31 August saw the 32 teams divided intoeight groups of four. Clubs from the same association could not be drawn into the same group. Each club plays onehome and one away match against each other club in its group. Three points are awarded for a win, one point for adraw and no points for a defeat. If two or more teams are equal on points on completion of the group matches, thefollowing criteria are applied to determine the rankings.a) higher number of points obtained in the group matches played among the teams in question;b) superior goal difference from the group matches played among the teams in question;c) higher number of goals scored away from home in the group matches played among the teams in question;d) superior goal difference from all group matches played;e) higher number of goals scored;f) higher number of coefficient points accumulated by the club in question as well as its association, over the previousfive seasons.The eight group-winners and eight runners-up of the group stage qualify for the first knockout round, to be playedover two legs on 19/20 February and 4/5 March 2007. The clubs that finish this stage in third position in their groupmove into the Round of 32 of the UEFA Cup. The clubs that finish this stage in fourth position in their group areeliminated from UEFA club competition for the season. This year's UEFA Champions League final is in Moscow on21 May 2008.

• Disciplinary information: As a rule, a player who is sent off the field of play is suspended for the next match in aUEFA club competition. The Control and Disciplinary Body is entitled to augment this punishment. In the case ofrepeated cautions, a player is suspended for one match after three cautions in three different matches, as well asfollowing any subsequent odd-numbered caution (fifth, seventh, ninth, etc). Single yellow cards and pending suspensionsare always carried forward either to the next stage of the competition or to another club competition in the currentseason.

• Locally-trained players rule: In February 2005, UEFA announced the 'A' list that teams submit for UEFA clubcompetitions will continue to be limited to 25 players, and from season 2007/08, at least six places will be reservedfor players trained by the club's own football academy of which half can be players trained by other clubs from withinthe same association of the said club. The 'B' list will also continue to exist - involving an unlimited number of Under-21players who have been at the club for two seasons. In 2006/07, the number of locally-trained players required beganat four but the current six will rise to eight in 2008/09, with up to half of each figure allowed to be association trained.A club-trained player is defined as a player who has been registered for a minimum of three seasons with the clubbetween the age of 15 and 21, whereas an association-trained player is one who has been registered for at leastthree seasons by the club or by other clubs affiliated to the same association between the age of 15 and 21.

• Player registration: UEFA regulations state that for all UEFA Champions League matches from the start of the firstknockout round, a club may register a maximum of three new eligible players within their squad of 25 for the remainingmatches in the current competition. Such registration must be completed by 1 February at the latest. One player fromthe above quota of three who has played UEFA club competition matches for another competing club in the currentseason may exceptionally be registered, provided that the player has not been fielded by another club in the UEFAChampions League this season.

• Financial information: UEFA says the estimated gross income for the 2007/08 UEFA Champions League is €824.5m– slightly higher than the 2006/07 campaign revenue. Under the competition regulations, 75 per cent of the totalrevenue received from television and commercial contracts concluded by UEFA, up to a maximum of €530m will goto the 32 teams taking part in the group stage of Europe's premier club competition.
