How to read the ranking The club coefﬁcient rankings are based on the results of clubs competing in the ﬁve previous seasons of the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League. The rankings determine the seeding of each club in all UEFA competition draws. UEFA Champions League points system First qualifying round elimination – 0.5 points Second qualifying round elimination – 1 point Group stage participation – 4 points Group stage win – 2 points Group stage draw – 1 point Round of 16 participation – 4 points

UEFA Europa League points system First qualifying round elimination – 0.25 points Second qualifying round elimination – 0.5 points Third qualifying round elimination Play-off elimination Group stage win Group stage draw

– 1 point – 1.5 points – 2 points – 1 point

Since 2009/10, clubs have been guaranteed a minimum of two points if they reach the group stage and are awarded an additional point if they get to the quarter-finals, semifinals or final. *Penalty shoot-outs do not affect the calculation system.

Since 2009/10 clubs have been awarded an additional point if they reach the round of 16, quarter-finals, semifinals or final.

NB Points are not awarded for elimination in the third qualifying round or play-offs, since those clubs move to the UEFA Europa League and are awarded points for participation in that competition.

UEFA 2011.indd 8

Coefficient calculation Clubs’ coefficients are determined by the sum of all points won in the previous five years, plus 20% of the association coefficient over the same period (33% before 2009). These rankings will be updated after each round of UEFA club competition matches.

UEFA Champions League Anthem The UEFA Champions League Anthem, ofﬁcially titled simply as “Champions League”, was written by English composer Tony Britten. In 1992, UEFA commissioned Britten to arrange an anthem for the UEFA Champions League which commenced in August 1992, and he adapted George Frideric Handel’s “Zadok the Priest” from the Coronation Anthems, and the piece was performed by London’s Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and sung by the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields. The chorus is in the three ofﬁcial languages used by UEFA: English, German, and French. The anthem’s chorus is played before each UEFA Champions League game, as well as at the beginning and end of television broadcasts of the matches. The complete anthem is about three minutes long, and has two short verses and the chorus. The anthem has never been released commercially in its original version. However, the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields chorus can be heard singing the original “Zadok the Priest” on the 2002 album World Soccer Anthems. Lyrics Ce sont les meilleures équipes Sie sind die allerbesten Mannschaften The main event!

(Chorus) Die Meister Die Besten Les grandes Équipes The Champions! Une grande réunion Eine große sportliche Veranstaltung The main event! Ils sont les meilleurs Sie sind die Besten These are the champions!

(Chorus x2) Die Meister Die Besten Les grandes Équipes The Champions! Die Meister Die Besten Les grandes Équipes The Champions!

The UEFA Champions League Trophy “It may not be an artistic masterpiece,” said the maker of the UEFA Champions League Trophy, “but everybody in football is keen to get their hands on it.” The current UEFA Champions League Trophy, which stands 73.5cm tall and weighs 8.5kg, is the sixth overall and dates back to 2006. A rule introduced in the 1968/69 season allowed the cup to become the property of any club which won the competition five times or three years in a row. That means Real Madrid CF, AFC Ajax, FC Bayern München, AC Milan and, since 2005, Liverpool FC all have an original in their trophy rooms. Under new regulations, any club which wins the trophy three consecutive times or five times in total receives a special mark of recognition, with the club then starting a new cycle from zero. The trophy that the winning captain will lift at Wembley Stadium in London is the fifth version of the current design. After Real Madrid were allowed to keep the original in 1967, UEFA’s General Secretary, Hans Bangerter, decided to create a new design and called in a local specialist in Berne, Jürg Stadelmann. “My father Hans and I went along to Herr Bangerter’s office and covered the whole floor with the drawings,” recalled Stadelmann. “He made comments like, ‘The Bulgarians would like the bottom of that. The Spaniards would like that, but the Italians would prefer that and the Germans would go for this bit.’ We put the design together like a jigsaw puzzle. It was a design constituted of many parts yet I like it and I think everyone in football likes it as well. 10

Bayern Munich

History

Strange as it may seem to those more accustomed to the slick, successful Bayern of today, when the club was founded in 1900, it consisted of eleven students, shopkeepers and office workers from the bohemian Munich neighbourhood of Schwabing. Under ambitious long-term president Kurt Landauer, the club nonetheless clinched a surprise first national title in 1932. After the Second World War, Bayern slid into relative obscurity and were not even admitted to the inaugural Bundesliga of 1963/64. The club’s fortunes improved with the emergence of gifted youngsters Sepp Maier, Franz Beckenbauer and Gerd Müller, however, and German Cup wins were followed by an unexpected UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup triumph in 1966/67. Domestic dominance was soon established and continued into the 1970s, when a side bolstered by

the likes of Uli Hoeness and Paul Breitner stepped up another notch and claimed three consecutive European Champion Clubs’ Cups between 1974 and 1976. Bayern overcame Club Atlético de Madrid (4-0 in a replay after 1-1 draw), Leeds United AFC (2-0) and AS Saint-Etienne (1-0) in the finals.

History

Founded by churchwardens as St Mark’s Church, West Gorton in an attempt to curb gang violence and alcoholism among men in East Manchester, the club were known as Gorton AFC and Ardwick AFC before settling on their current name in 1894 and initially won promotion to England’s top division in 1899. City won their first FA Cup in 1904, beating Bolton Wanderers FC 1-0 in the final, and moved from Hyde Road to Maine Road in 1923; a second FA Cup came in 1934 but their maiden league title in 1937 was followed by relegation the following season – the only time this has ever happened in England’s top flight. Another perhaps unrepeatable first came in the 1956 FA Cup final where City beat Birmingham City

Napoli

History

The modern Napoli side were founded with the merger of Naples Foot-Ball Club, formed in 1904 by English businessman William Poths and Italian engineer Emilio Anatra, and US Internazionale Napoli, a side set up under the initiative of a group of local workers in 1912. They were briefly FBC Internaples before settling on their current identity in 1926. A moderately successful side in their early years, Napoli nevertheless boasted a fine following, 80,000 watching them beat Juventus 2-1 in the ﬁrst game at their Stadio San Paolo in 1959; relegated from Serie A the following season, the Partenopei became the first Serie B side to win the Coppa Italia in 1962, beating Spal 1907 2-1 in Rome, and were promoted in the same campaign. President Corrado Ferlaino’s arrival in 1969 signalled the beginning of a significant period in the

Group A

club’s history; he was responsible for signing club legend Diego Maradona from FC Barcelona in June 1984 and under Ottavio Bianchi, Napoli were the first southern side to win Serie A as they claimed a domestic double in 1987.

Villarreal CF

History

Just three months after their formation the club began renting what became known as El Madrigal, playing their first friendly at the stadium in October 1923. Villarreal have spent much of their history in Spain’s regional divisions; it was not until the 1990s that the small-town club set about an ambitious and impressive rise to the top. In 1990/91 Villarreal made the step up to the third tier, won promotion the following campaign and in 1997/98, under club president Fernando Roig, coach José Antonio Irulegui’s team finished fourth and entered into a play-off with SD Compostela for a place in the Spanish top flight. Having only managed a 0-0 draw at El Madrigal the odds were against Villarreal, but in the return Alberto Saavedra’s goal earned a 1-1 draw and the Submarino Amarillo prevailed.

Group A

Villarreal were relegated after just one term in the Liga, but they bounced back immediately and this time cemented a place in Spain’s top flight. European success arrived with the 2003 UEFA Intertoto Cup triumph followed by a run to the UEFA Cup semi-finals the same season, losing out to local rivals Valencia CF 1-0 on aggregate.

Founded as OLLS (Obshestvo Lyubiteley Lyzhnogo Sporta – Amateur Society of Skiing Sports), the club went through five other names before, in 1960, becoming CSKA – Central Sports Club of the Army. By then they were already a force to be reckoned with. Having finished fourth in their debut Soviet Top League season in 1936, they won the USSR Cup in 1945 and followed that up with league success 12 months later. It was the first of five Soviet Top League titles in six years, winning the league and cup double in 1948 and 1951. CSKA claimed the championship again in 1970, earning them a first tilt at European competition. It started promisingly enough, overcoming Galatasaray A 4-1 on aggregate in the European Champion Clubs’ Cup first round, but R. Standard de Liège ended their ambitions in the next stage.

Group B

CSKA won the last Soviet Top League in 1991 but struggled after the collapse of the USSR – it was not until 2003, under Valeri Gazzaev, that they finally reined supreme in the Russian Premier-Liga.

FC Internazionale Milano

Inter were founded when members of Milan CFC – the forerunner for AC Milan – set up their own club. The name is a reference to their stated ambition of being open to players of all nationalities, and in 1909/10 Inter claimed their first Scudetto. Their name changed – briefly to AS Ambrosiana, then AS Ambrosiania-Inter – as did the club colours – to white from 1928 to 1946 – but the success continued with more or less a title a decade. An Inter side built around Giuseppe Meazza claimed their first Coppa Italia in 1938/39, and the club won back-to back titles in 1952/53 and 1953/54. The arrival of Angelo Moratti as president in 1955 ushered in the club’s golden era: ‘La Grande Inter’. Under Moratti, coach Helenio Herrera embraced Catenaccio and his disciplined unit won the Scudetto

Group B

in 1963, 1965 and 1966 and the European Champion Clubs’ Cup in 1964 and 1965, also losing the 1967 final. Between 1961/62 and the title-winning 1970/71 season an Inter side including Giacinto Facchetti did not finish outside the top two in Serie A.

Lille OSC

History

• Lille Olympique Sporting Club Lille Métropole was formed on 23 September 1944 as a result of a merger between professional clubs Olympique Lillois and SC Fives. Lillois had been in the process of negotiating with Fives as early as 1939. After failing to agree to a merger with Fives, Lillois merged with local club Iris Club Lillois to form Olympique Iris Club Lillois. However, due to World War II and the abolishing of professional football under the Vichy Regime, the club spent most of its existence playing in the amateur war leagues. In 1944, Fives finally agreed to a merger. However, the section of Olympique Iris Club Lillois officials who were representing Iris Club Lillois refused the merger as it meant the club would have to turn professional. The disagreement between Olympique Lillois and Iris Club led to the first merger dissolving. As a result, the original incarnation of Lillois merged with Fives.

Group B

The club was initially named Stade Lillois and played under the name in two friendly matches ahead of the 1944–45 war championship season. On 10 November 1944, after a directors’ meeting, the club changed its name to Lille Olympique Sporting Club.

Trabzonspor AS

History

Trabzonspor’s birth came in two stages. First, three local amateur sides – İdmangücü, Karadenizgücü and Martıspor – merged on 21 June 1966 to form the club with a red and white strip chosen as team’s colours. However, the new collaboration did not initially include İdmanocağı, one of the city’s leading sports clubs. Although the newly-formed entity competed in the second division in 1966/67, İdmanocağı were subsequently included and the club refounded on 2 August 1967, this time sporting a

Group B

claret and blue kit. They played in the Turkish second division until winning the league in 1974 and finished ninth in their first campaign in the top flight. Historic success followed in 1975/76 as Trabzonspor won the Turkish championship, the first time it had not been claimed by one of Istanbul’s big three: Galatasaray AŞ, Fenerbahçe SK and Beşiktaş JK. They also picked up the President’s Cup and Prime Minister’s Cup that same season. What followed was a period of unparalleled success under legendary coach Ahmet Suat Özyazıcı. Trabzonspor defended their league title and between 1979 and 1981 they sensationally won three successive championships, putting the Black Sea club among the top teams in the country. Having taken over in 1973, Özyazıcı oversaw the club’s promotion and all their national titles bar the last two, in 1981 and 1984. Those triumphs came under Özkan Sümer, who was Trabzonspor president between 2000 and 2003.

FC Basel 1893

History

Group C

On 12 November 1893, an advertisement appeared in the Basler newspaper looking for members for a local football club; the 11 men who responded, most of them athletes, met three days later in a local restaurant. The newly-formed Basel played their first game just 11 days later. It took 40 years for the club to win its first trophy, but Basel did so in some style, beating holders Grasshopper-Club 4-3 in the 1933 Swiss Cup final, reckoned to be one of the best in the competition’s history. Further cup successes followed in 1947 and 1963. Basel won their first league title under club legend René Bader in 1953, but their first golden age came under Helmut Benthaus, who between 1965 and 1982 – when he left for VfB Stuttgart – led the club to seven league titles and two more Swiss Cups, as well as European victories against the likes of FC Spartak Moskva and Club Brugge KV. Basel’s fortunes took a turn for the worse with relegation in 1988, and it took until 1994 for them to return to the top flight. Christian Gross took over as coach in the summer of 1999, and with the new StJakob Park opening in 2001, Basel began to hit top gear again, with titles in 2002, 2004, 2005 and 2008 as well as four more cups.

SL Benfica

History

On 28 February 1904, Sport Lisboa e Benfica – originally known as Grupo Sport Lisboa – was founded at a meeting in a Lisbon pharmacy, Farmácia Franco, involving 24 men led by Cosme Damião. After winning ten Lisbon regional championships, a first national title arrived at the 15,000-capacity Campo das Amoreiras in 1935/36. Benfica moved to Campo Grande, where on-the-pitch success continued, and then to the Estádio da Luz in 1954. Under Hungarian Béla Guttmann the Eagles ended Real Madrid CF’s monopoly of the European Champion Clubs’ Cup in 1960/61, beating FC Barcelona in the final. The next year they defeated Madrid to retain the trophy, aided by a new young signing from Mozambique: Eusébio. With Eusébio and a considerable number of Portuguese internationals in the squad, Benfica

Group C

monopolised the domestic game in the 1960s, reaching – but losing – another three European Cup finals, in 1963, 1965 and 1968. The Encarnados suffered further European Cup final disappointment in 1988 and 1990 following two more decades of dominance alongside Sporting Clube de Portugal and FC Porto.

Manchester United

History

United were formed in 1878 as Newton Heath L&YR FC, a railway works side which joined the English Football League in 1892. The club claimed a place in the First Division in 1906, and in 1907/08 they brought home their first championship before an inaugural FA Cup win in 1909. The next year United moved to Old Trafford and reclaimed the league trophy in their first season at the ground. A period of relative mediocrity followed, but the club were transformed forever by the appointment of Matt Busby as manager in 1945. The Scot developed a team of youngsters who went on to become English champions three times in the 1950s, yet the Busby Babes era ended prematurely with the Munich air disaster of 6 February 1958 which claimed the lives of 21 people, including eight players. Busby himself had to recover from serious injuries before rebuilding the squad. The FA Cup was

Group C

recaptured in 1963 after a 15-year gap, then the league in 1964/65 and 1966/67. Busby’s crowning glory came when a team featuring Bobby Charlton, George Best and Denis Law became the first English side to lift the European Champion Clubs’ Cup, although the injured Law missed the victory against SL Benfica in the 1968 Wembley final.

FC Otelul Galati

History

Oţelul were founded in the largest seaport on the River Danube in 1964, with their name (literally ‘Steel’) a nod to the metal industry that helped to make Galati, in the eastern Romanian province of Moldova, one of the nation’s most important economic centres. The new club slowly worked their way up the league system, winning a first third division championship in 1967/68, but were to be the city’s second team for some time, with CSU Galaţi – founded in 1970 – featuring in Romania’s top division in the 1970s and losing the 1976/77 Romanian Cup final to FC Steaua Bucureşti. Oţelul came into their own in the following decade; they won a second third division title in 1981 and were promoted to the top division as champions in 1986. They then finished fourth in the league in 1987/88 to earn a first foray in European competition; they beat Juventus 1-0 at home in the 1988/89 UEFA Cup first round but lost the return fixture 5-0.

Group C

Having competed in the top division in every season since 1991/92, Oţelul were fourth in successive campaigns in the mid-1990s and reached the ﬁnal of the 2003/04 Romanian Cup, losing 2-0 to FC Dinamo Bucureşti in the capital.

AFC Ajax

History

Founded at the turn of last century, Amsterdamsche Football Club Ajax were soon promoted to the top flight under Irishman John Kirwan but lasted just three years before relegation. During that spell the club adopted red and white as their original black – the other shade on Amsterdam’s tricolour flag – clashed with Sparta Rotterdam. Englishman Jack Reynolds’ 32 years in charge from 1915 – punctuated briefly – brought eight league titles, but it was not until the 1960s that the club’s first golden era truly began. Fighting relegation midway through the 1964/65 campaign, Ajax appointed Rinus Michels, an astute tactician who deployed an adventurous 4-2-4 formation tailor-made for the emerging Johan Cruyff and the likes of Sjaak Swart and Piet Keizer.

Group D

It was, however, not until the emergence of ‘Total Football’ that the club truly made their mark. ‘Gloria Ajax’ claimed six Eredivisie championships between 1966 and 1973, an achievement eclipsed by three successive European Champion Clubs’ Cup wins from 1971, the latter two coming under Romanian Ştefan Kovács.

History

GNK Dinamo Zagreb were founded in 1911 as 1. HŠK Gra anski. They won five league titles before being disbanded by the Yugoslav Communist Party and reformed, in homage to FC Dinamo Moskva, as Dinamo Zagreb in June 1945. Dinamo finished runners-up in the Yugoslav First League in 1946/47 before claiming their first title under their new guise the following campaign. A first Yugoslav Cup was lifted in 1951 and two more titles ensued in 1954 and 1958. The first signs of progress in European competition came in the 1960s with a run to the 1961 UEFA European Cup Winners’ Cup semi-final and a 4-1 defeat by Valencia CF in the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup showpiece two years later. In 1967, Ivan Horvat’s side, boasting internationals including Slaven

Group D

Zambata and Rudolf Belin, became the first Yugoslavian team to win a European club trophy, the ‘Golden Generation’ securing the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup with a 2-0 aggregate victory against Leeds United AFC.

Olympique Lyonnais

History

Though they can trace their origins back to the end of the 19th century, Lyon in their current form were founded by a group of local enthusiasts as late as 1950. Local surgeon Albert Trillat suggested the team’s name and that the players wear the city’s colours of red and blue; a year later the club won the French second division. Lyon spent the bulk of the next 30 years in the top flight, winning the French Cup three times and revelling in the exploits of Jean Djorkaeff, Nestor Combin and the hero of the 1960s, Fleury Di Nallo. Until recent years, those cup exploits were Lyon’s only major honours, the club spending a long period in the shadows of local rivals AS Saint-Étienne. The gloom was lifted with the arrival of ambitious young software magnate Jean-Michel Aulas in 1987,

the new chairman promising to get Lyon into Europe within four years. They met that target too, after first securing promotion under Domenech in 1988/89, and with Florian Maurice and then Sonny Anderson grabbing the goals they started making headway in the UEFA Cup and UEFA Champions League.

Real Madrid

History

Following four consecutive Copa del Rey triumphs between 1905 and 1908, Madrid were given their royal title in 1920 and became one of the founding members of the Liga on its 1929 inception. A team including legendary goalkeeper Ricardo Zamora were champions in 1931/32 and 1932/33. With the Chamartin Stadium in ruins following the Spanish Civil War, board member Santiago Bernabéu led construction of the venue that now bears his name, opening in 1947. The club then pulled the masterstroke of signing Alfredo di Stéfano, and with Francisco Gento and Miguel Muñoz, Madrid set about dominating European football. Los Merengues won the first five instalments of the European Champion Clubs’ Cup, and completed the quintet in memorable fashion in 1960. Spearheaded by Di Stéfano and Hungary’s Ferénc Puskas,

Madrid beat Eintracht Frankfurt 7-3 in the Hampden Park final. Winger Gento went on to play in the European Cup victory of 1966, with new stars such as Amancio and Pirri.

Chelsea

History

Chelsea are the only side in England who were admitted into the Football League without kicking a ball following their creation. Despite that auspicious start it was not until the 1950s, under former Arsenal FC man Ted Drake, that the west London outfit began collecting silverware. Celebrating their golden jubilee, the newly-nicknamed Blues – they have always worn the colour, though sported a lighter shade until 1912 – claimed the 1954/55 league title with one of the lowest points tallies in English football history. The club underwent a transformation in the 1960s as London became the music and fashion capital of the world. They became known as the country’s glamour club, while on the pitch Tommy Docherty’s young team claimed the League Cup in 1964/65 and finished runners-up in the FA Cup two years later.

Group E

Docherty’s replacement Dave Sexton masterminded further successes, beating Leeds United AFC in the 1970 FA Cup final and lifting the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup against Real Madrid CF in another replayed showpiece the following season.

History

The new club was named K.R.C. Genk and as it kept the Winterslag ranking, it began in the first division but finished last. The next year Genk managed to win the final round in 2nd division and then played 4 seasons in the first division. In 1995 the club hired Aimé Anthuenis a coach and Racing finished second and skipped the final round as two first division teams merged (Seraing and Standard Liège). After an eighth place in 1997, the club had a good 1997–98 season with a cup win and a second place in the championship. In its first European season, Racing Genk eliminated successively Apolonia and MSV Duisburg but it lost to RCD Mallorca in the round of 16 after two draws (1–1 on aggregate) in the last Cup Winners’ Cup ever. The season was ended well as Genk won its first Belgian championship in May, with manager Aimé Anthuenis then moving to Anderlecht.

Group E

Genk played in the UEFA Champions League in 1999–2000 but lost in the second qualifying round to NK Maribor. The season was salvaged by winning the Belgian Cup again, this time to Standard, but Genk ended the championship in 9th place.

Bayer 04 Leverkusen

History

In 1903, 170 workers at the Bayer chemical plant signed a petition requesting the foundation of a company sports club; the management acceded to their request the following year and the football division opened in 1907, though they achieved little of note in its early decades. Leverkusen were still playing in the second tier of the Regionalliga West when the Bundesliga was founded in 1963 and while they remained an unremarkable side for the next 15 years, they made a siginiﬁcant breakthrough when they won promotion to the top division for the 1979/80 season; they have not been relegated since. Leverkusen’s first Bundesliga seasons were a struggle, but coach Erich Ribbeck’s arrival in the mid1980s led to improved results; they competed in the UEFA Cup for the ﬁrst time in 1986/87 and won

Valencia CF

History

On 5 March 1919 a group of footballers gathered in a bar on Calle Barcelona with the aim of creating a football team to replace the long defunct Club Valencia. Valencia CF was born, initially calling a field in Algiros home. Regional success brought admission into the Copa del Rey in 1923, the year Valencia moved to Mestalla, and by the end of the 1920s Los Blanquinegros had won promotion to Spain’s second tier. By 1931 they were in the Liga, and though Real Madrid CF proved too strong in the 1934 Copa del Rey final, Valencia did not have to wait long for their time. Under charismatic club president Luis Casanova, the 1940s was a golden era for Valencia. Spearheaded following damage during the Spanish Civil War – with three Liga titles (1942, 1944, 1947) and two Spanish Cups (1941, 1949).

Arsenal

History

Arsenal began life as a team of munitions workers from the Royal Arsenal munitions factory in Woolwich, south-east London – hence their nickname, the Gunners. In 1913 the club’s owner, entrepreneur Henry Norris, took the club across the Thames to Highbury and a wider supporter catchment area. There the team adopted its current name having previously been called Dial Square FC, Royal Arsenal FC and Woolwich Arsenal FC. Their pedigree was established in the 1920s under the great moderniser Herbert Chapman, and although he died suddenly in 1934, Arsenal continued to enjoy success. Between 1930 and 1938, the Gunners claimed five league titles and two FA Cups. Consistent success deserted them until the late 1960s, when former club physiotherapist Bertie Mee built a team capable of winning the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup in 1970 and the domestic league and cup

Borussia Dortmund

History

While many German teams were founded as gymnastics clubs, Dortmund were created solely as a football entity in 1909. They enjoyed some good results in the 1930s and 1940s but were unable to escape the shadow cast by arch-rivals FC Schalke 04. In 1947, a memorable 3-2 win in the Westphalia Championship final marked the first time the Black-Yellows had overcome the Royal Blues. In 1956, a crowd of 75,000 watched Dortmund win their first German title with a 4-2 defeat of Karlsruher SC in Berlin’s Olympiastadion. BVB defended their crown the following year with a 4-1 defeat of Hamburger SV with exactly the same team as the previous year, a feat never accomplished before or since. Dortmund had to wait for continental success, however, having been knocked out of the European Champion Clubs’ Cup by Manchester United FC in 1956 and AC Milan the following

Olympique de Marseille

The only French side to have won the European Champion Clubs’ Cup, Marseille were slow burners. Formed in 1899, OM began to make their mark with three French Cup triumphs in four years (1924, 1926, 1927). They turned professional in 1932 and, after winning the cup again in 1935, claimed a first championship title in 1937. Another French Cup triumph followed in 1943 and a second title five years later, but the club’s fortunes were in decline despite the presence of all-time leading scorer Gunnar Andersson. Marseille were relegated in 1958/59 and only in 1965, when Marcel Leclerc became club president, did things improve. OM returned to the top flight in 1966 and, with Yugoslavia striker Josip Skoblar setting the Stade Vélodrome alight, took French football by storm. They won successive titles in 1970/71 and 1971/72,

Olympiacos FC

History

With a name inspired by the noted aviator Notis Kamperos, Olympiacos were formed by the five-man Andrianopoulos brothers in the small port of Piraeus in Athens on 10 March 1925, and those same siblings went on to form the potent forward line which dominated the fledgling Greek championship in the 1930s. The club secured six league titles before the Second World War and enjoyed even better times afterwards, taking seven championship crowns and seven Greek Cups in the 1950s, including three consecutive domestic doubles between 1957 and 1959. A comparatively lean period in the 1960s was reversed by ambitious club president Nikos Goulandris, who brought in star names to knock Panathinaikos FC off their perch in 1973, with the first of three straight titles. The second of those crowns was attained thanks to a stunning 102 goals in 34 league

Apole FC

History

The club was founded at a confectionery shop in November 1926, born out of a desire to create a side representing Nicosia’s Greek-Cypriot population. Initially named POEL, they added an A two years later with the creation of a track and field athletics division. Within a decade they were Cypriot champions, announcing themselves with a title in the second edition of the top flight, then underlining their early dominance with a further four in a row. APOEL collected another four championships in eight seasons after the Second World War. The emergence of AEL Limassol FC, Anorthosis Famagusta FC and especially AC Omonia ended APOEL’s hegemony. The Thrylos added only three more titles over the next 31 seasons and though they became the first Cypriot club to win a European tie in 1963, any kudos vanished when they lost

History

Despite first coming into existence in 1893 as a club “dedicated to the practice of the eccentric English game of football”, Porto did not play a competitive match until 1906, when they began their now long-established rivalry with neighbours Boavista FC. They were nonetheless pioneers, winning the inaugural Campeonato de Portugal – a forerunner of the modern Portuguese Cup – in 1922 and the first league campaign of 1934/35. Porto moved into the Estádio das Antas in 1952 and two more titles followed that decade, but they nearly went bankrupt in the 1960s. It was only after José Maria Pedroto took over as coach that fortunes changed, the former player overseeing back-to-back league wins in 1978 and 1979. Spearheaded by the prolific Fernando Gomes, the Dragons reached the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup final

Shakhtar Donetsk

History

Founded by coal miners in the Donbass region of Ukraine, then part of the Soviet Union, the club were called Stakhanovets Stalino before switching to FC Shakhtar Donetsk in 1946. The 1960s brought a turnaround in the club’s fortunes as Shakhtar stormed to a surprise victory against an all-star FC Torpedo Moskva side in the 1961 Soviet Cup final, retaining the trophy 12 months later. Over the next decade they established themselves as one of the strongest teams in the Soviet Top League. Two more Soviet Cups, two silver and bronze medals came in 1980s before the 1991 establishment of an independent football league in Ukraine. Relegated for the only time in their history in 1971, they bounced back up and finished 1975 as Soviet runners-up. It brought Shakhtar’s debut in European club competition in the 1976/77 UEFA Cup,

History

While football has been played in St Petersburg since the 19th century, the city’s main team were not founded until 1925, originally for workers from a local metal plant; the club initially played in local leagues, moving up to the Soviet second tier as Stalinets for a few years and playing in the top division for the first time in 1938. Stalinets reached the Soviet Cup final in 1939 but changed their name to Zenit in time for the following season having become part of the national Zenit sports organisation, which traditionally represented munitions workers; they beat PFC CSKA Moskva to win the 1944 Soviet Cup before going into decline. Zenit began to regain some momentum in the 1950s and with classical composer Dmitri Shostakovich 1981/82 UEFA Cup, having finished third in the league in 1980, but lost to FC Dynamo Dresden in their maiden European fixture.

History

Swiss businessman Hans Gamper founded FC Barcelona after placing an advert in a local sports magazine following his arrival in the city. Several football enthusiasts responded to Gamper’s notice looking for players and the club held its first official meeting on 29 November 1899. Barça lost their first game 1-0 to a team of English expatriates. The 1950s brought a surge in popularity – not to mention Liga titles Nos5, 6 and 7 – thanks to the likes of Ladislau Kubala, Estanislao Basora and César Rodríguez. In September 1957 Barça moved to what is now known as the Camp Nou but it was the arrival of Johan Cruyff in 1973 that heralded a new beginning for the club. Along with star turns Carles Rexach, Juan Manuel Asensi and Hugo Sotil, Cruyff immediately won the Liga title.

History

Borisov’s most significant footballing export started life as the team of the BATE factory in 1973 – the initials stand for Borisov Automobile and Tractor Electronics – playing in the eastern second division of the Soviet-era Belarusian second division, and earning promotion to the top flight in their first season. They went on to win the Belarusian top division title at the first attempt too, that 1974 success followed by further titles in 1976 and 1979 as well as the 1976 Soviet Belarus Cup. However the team was disbanded in 1981, with the likes of FC Berezina, FC Avtomobilist, FC Iskra and FC Fomalgaout representing the city in the following years. New sponsors revived the club in March 1996 under the leadership of president Anatoliy Kapsky and they swiftly rose from the third division in post-independence Belarus, finishing second when they

History

The Milan Football and Cricket Club was founded on 16 December 1899 by a group of English businessmen led by Alfred Edwards. Tyre magnate and club president Piero Pirelli oversaw the construction of San Siro in 1926, but it was not until the 1950s that the Rossoneri began producing results to match that famous stage. In 1945 the club changed its name to Associazione Calcio Milan and it brought good luck, the Rossoneri celebrating their first Scudetto in 44 years in 1950/51 with a team led by the ‘Grenoli’ forward line comprising Swedes Gunnar Gren, Gunnar Nordahl and Nils Liedholm. Five years after a 3-2 extra-time defeat by Real Madrid CF in their first European Champion Clubs’ Cup final, the Rossoneri lifted the continental title after a 2-1 victory against SL Benfica at Wembley in 1963.

With Gianni Rivera at the fulcrum Milan continued to pick up silverware, including a second European Cup in 1969, and he was still there when they claimed a tenth Italian title a decade later.

History

Viktoria were founded on 27 August 1911, losing 7-3 against local rivals FC Olympia Plze in their first ﬁxture; they remained an amateur side until 1929, but after turning professional, made their debut in the top division in Czechoslovakia two years later. A fourth-place finish in the 1935 season earned Plze the chance to compete in the Central European International Cup, where they took on a Juventus team featuring a number of FIFA World Cup winners: they drew 3-3 at home but lost 5-1 in Turin. The city famous for its Pilsener beer had to wait over 30 years for another chance to impress in Europe, having beaten FC Spartak Trnava to earn their ﬁrst major honour, the 1970/71 Czechoslovakian Cup; FC Bayern München proved too hot to handle in the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup, with Viktoria losing 7-1

Lionel Andrés “Leo” Messi (born 24 June 1987 in Rosario, Argentina) is a football player who currently plays for FC Barcelona and the Argentina national team as a striker or winger. Considered one of the best football players of his generation, Messi received several Ballon d’Or and FIFA World Player of the Year nominations by the age of 21, and won in 2009 and 2010. His playing style and ability have drawn comparisons to Diego Maradona, who himself declared Messi as his “successor”. Messi began playing football at a young age and his potential was quickly identified by Barcelona. He left Rosario-based Newell’s Old Boys’s youth team in 2000 and moved with his family to Europe, as Barcelona offered treatment for his growth hormone deficiency. Making his debut in the 2004–05 season, he broke his team record for the youngest footballer to score a league goal. Major honours soon followed as Barcelona won La Liga in Messi’s debut season, and won a double of the league and Champions League in 2006. His breakthrough season was in the 2006–07 season; he became a first team regular, scoring a hat-trick in El Clásico and finishing with 14 goals in 26 league games. Messi then had the most successful season of his playing career, the 2008–09 season, in which he scored 38 goals to play an integral part in a treble-winning campaign. This recordbreaking season was then eclipsed in the following 2009–10 campaign, where Messi scored 47 goals in all competitions, equalling Ronaldo’s record total for Barcelona. He surpassed this record again in the 2010–11 season with 53 goals in all competitions. Messi was the top scorer of the 2005 FIFA World Youth Championship with six goals, including two in the final game. Shortly thereafter, he became an established member of Argentina’s senior international team. In 2006, he became the youngest Argentine to play in the FIFA World Cup and he won a runners-up medal at the Copa América tournament the following year. In 2008, in Beijing, he won his first international honour, an Olympic gold medal, with the Argentina Olympic football team.

Lionel Messi Early life Messi was born in Rosario, Santa Fe, to parents Jorge Horacio Messi, a factory steel Cuccittini, a part-time cleaner. His paternal family originates from the Italian city of ancestor, Angelo Messi, emigrated to Argentina in 1883. He has two older brothers Matías as well as a sister named María Sol. At the age of ﬁve, Messi started playing a local club coached by his father Jorge. In 1995, Messi switched to Newell’s were based in his home city Rosario. At the age of 11, he was diagnosed with a deﬁciency. The traditional River Plate showed interest in Messi’s progress, but did money to pay for treatment for his condition which cost $900 a month. Carles sporting director of FC Barcelona, had been made aware of his talent as Messi in Lleida, Catalonia, and Messi and his father were able to arrange a trial. with no other paper at hand, offered Messi a contract written on a paper Barcelona offered to pay for Messi’s medical bills if he was willing to move to Messi and his father moved to Barcelona where Messi enrolled in the club’s academy.

Outside football Personal life Messi was at one stage romantically linked to Macarena Lemos, also from his hometown of Rosario. He is said to have been introduced to her by the girl’s father when he returned to Rosario to recover from his injury a few days before the start of the 2006 World Cup. He has in the past also been linked to the Argentine glamour model Luciana Salazar. In January 2009 he told “Hat Trick Barça”, a programme on Canal 33: “I have a girlfriend and she is living in Argentina. I am relaxed and happy”. He was seen with the girl, Antonella Roccuzzo, at a carnival in Sitges after the Barcelona-Espanyol derby. Roccuzzo is a fellow native of Rosario. Messi has two cousins also involved in football: Maxi, a winger for Club Olimpia of Paraguay, and Emanuel Biancucchi, who plays as a midﬁelder for Spain’s Girona FC.

Charity In 2007 Messi established the Leo Messi Foundation, a charity supporting access to education and health care for vulnerable children. In an fansite interview, Messi said: “Being a bit famous now gives me the opportunity to help people who really need it, especially children.” In response to Messi’s own childhood medical difﬁculties, the Leo Messi Foundation supports Argentine children diagnosed with medical conditions by offering treatment in Spain and covering the transport, hospital and recuperation costs. Messi’s foundation is supported by his own fundraising activity with additional assistance from Herbalife. On 11 March 2010 Messi was announced as a goodwill ambassador for UNICEF. Messi’s UNICEF ambassador activities are aimed at supporting children’s rights. Messi is supported in this by FC Barcelona, who also have a strong association with UNICEF.

Media He is featured on the front covers of the video games Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 and Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 and is also involved in promotional campaigns for the games. Messi, along with Fernando Torres, is the face of Pro Evolution Soccer 2010, and was also involved in the motion capturing and the trailer. Messi is sponsored by the German sportswear company Adidas and features in their television advertisements. In June 2010, Messi also signed a three–year contract with Herbalife which further supports the Leo Messi Foundation.

HowÊtoÊreadÊtheÊrankingÊ The club coefﬁcient rankings are based on the results of clubs competing in the ﬁve previous seasons of the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League. The rankings determine the seeding of each club in all UEFA competition draws. UEFAÊChampionsÊLeagueÊpointsÊsystemÊ First qualifying round elimination – 0.5 points Second qualifying round elimination – 1 point Group stage participation – 4 points Group stage win – 2 points Group stage draw – 1 point Round of 16 participation – 4 points

UEFAÊEuropaÊLeagueÊpointsÊsystemÊ First qualifying round elimination – 0.25 points Second qualifying round elimination – 0.5 points Third qualifying round elimination Play-off elimination Group stage win Group stage draw

– 1 point – 1.5 points – 2 points – 1 point

Since 2009/10 clubs have been awarded an additional point if they reach the round of 16, quarter-finals, semifinals or final.

NB Points are not awarded for elimination in the third qualifying round or play-offs, since those clubs move to the UEFA Europa League and are awarded points for participation in that competition.

Real Madrid History Following four consecutive Copa del Rey triumphs between 1905 and 1908, Madrid were given their royal title in 1920 and became one of the founding members of the Liga on its 1929 inception. A team including legendary goalkeeper Ricardo Zamora were champions in 1931/32 and 1932/33. With the Chamartin Stadium in ruins following the Spanish Civil War, board member Santiago Bernabéu led construction of the venue that now bears his name, opening in 1947. The club then pulled the masterstroke of signing Alfredo di Stéfano, and with Francisco Gento and Miguel Muñoz, Madrid set about dominating European football. Los Merengues won the first five instalments of the European Champion Clubs’ Cup, and completed the quintet in memorable fashion in 1960. Spearheaded by Di Stéfano and Hungary’s Ferénc Puskas,

Group D

Madrid beat Eintracht Frankfurt 7-3 in the Hampden Park final. Winger Gento went on to play in the European Cup victory of 1966, with new stars such as Amancio and Pirri.
