Match background
• #EQUALGAME
This week, football fans watching UEFA Champions League matches in stadiums, online and on TV will witness the
premiere of the new UEFA RESPECT TV ads, called #EqualGame. The adverts feature Ada Hegerberg, Lionel Messi,
Paul Pogba, Cristiano Ronaldo and amateur players and will run throughout the season to promote inclusion, diversity
and accessibility in European Football with the motto "Everyone has the right to enjoy football, no matter who you are,
where you're from, or how you play."
More information on the campaign and on the advertisements can be found in the accompanying media release and
on the campaign website: www.equalgame.com.
FC Barcelona begin the new UEFA Champions League season as they ended the old – with a visit from Juventus –
and will be hoping for a different outcome on the opening night of Group D.
• Barça's 2016/17 campaign was curtailed by Juventus, who held out for a goalless draw at the Camp Nou in the
quarter-final second leg, completing a 3-0 aggregate victory. Juve went all the way to the final but were unable to get
the better of Real Madrid CF, going down 4-1 in Cardiff.
• Barcelona have won their UEFA Champions League group on a record 18 occasions, and not since 2006/07 have
they failed to finish top of their section.
Previous meetings
• Juve laid the groundwork for last season's elimination of Barcelona in Turin, where goals from Paulo Dybala (7, 22)
were supplemented by Giorgio Chiellini's strike (55).
• The line-ups in the goalless second leg at the Camp Nou on 19 April were:
Barcelona: Ter Stegen, Sergi Roberto (Mascherano 78), Piqué, Umtiti, Alba, Busquets, Iniesta, Rakitić (Alcácer 58),
Messi, Suárez, Neymar.
Juventus: Buffon, Dani Alves, Bonucci, Chiellini, Alex Sandro, Khedira, Pjanić, Cuadrado (Lemina 84), Dybala
(Barzagli 75), Mandžukić, Higuaín (Asamoah 88).
• The teams had also met in the 2015 UEFA Champions League final in Berlin, where Barcelona triumphed 3-1 to take
the trophy for a fifth time. Ivan Rakitić gave Luis Enrique's side a fourth-minute lead and, though Álvaro Morata
levelled for Massimiliano Allegri's Juve ten minutes after half-time, Luis Suárez (68) and Neymar (90+7) sealed
Barça's fourth success in ten years.
• The line-ups at the Olympiastadion on 6 June 2015 were:
Juventus: Buffon, Lichtsteiner, Barzagli, Bonucci, Evra (Coman 89), Marchisio, Pirlo, Pogba, Vidal (Pereyra 79),
Morata (Llorente 85), Tévez.
Barcelona: Ter Stegen, Dani Alves, Piqué, Mascherano, Alba, Busquets, Rakitić (Mathieu 90+1), Iniesta (Xavi 78),
Messi, Suárez (Pedro 90+6), Neymar.
• That was Barça's third victory over Juve, and their first since 1991. Then, Johan Cruyff's charges beat a Juventus
side coached by Gigi Maifredi 3-1 at home in their European Cup Winners' Cup semi-final first leg with goals from
Hristo Stoichkov (56, 60) and Jon Andoni Goikoetxea (76). They overturned Pierluigi Casiraghi's 12th-minute opener
for Juve, who went out despite winning the second leg 1-0 with a 61st-minute Roberto Baggio strike.
• That was the clubs' second tie. The first came in the 1985/86 European Champion Clubs' Cup quarter-finals when
Barcelona again prevailed, Julio Alberto getting the only goal of the Camp Nou first leg. Barça struck first in the Turin
return too, through Steve Archibald, and advanced despite Michel Platini's 44th-minute equaliser.
• However, Juve ousted the Blaugrana in the 2002/03 UEFA Champions League quarter-finals. The first game in Turin
finished 1-1, Javier Saviola's 78th-minute effort equalising Paolo Montero's 16th-minute breakthrough for the hosts.
• In the second leg at the Camp Nou, Xavi Hernández's 66th-minute strike cancelled out Pavel Nedvěd's goal for Juve
13 minutes earlier and sent the tie to extra time, with Juve reduced to ten men by Edgar Davids's 79th-minute
dismissal. With penalties looming, Juve substitute Marcelo Zalayeta got the decisive goal (114) to take the ten men
into the last four.
• The two teams are exactly level in their nine encounters – three wins, three draws and three defeats apiece plus ten
goals for and against.
Match background
Barcelona
• This is Barcelona's record-equalling 22nd UEFA Champions League group stage campaign, and 14th in succession.
They last failed to reach the last 16 in 2000/01, although they did not take part in 2003/04.
9
• The Blaugrana last failed to progress beyond the round of 16 in 2006/07; their last two campaigns have been ended
in the quarter-finals, by Juve last season and Club Atlético de Madrid in 2015/16.
• That 0-0 draw with Juve last spring was the only time former Barcelona coach Luis Enrique failed to win a home
game in the UEFA Champions League, having previously mustered 15 straight victories.
• Barcelona are unbeaten in 21 matches at home in the competition, a run that started in September 2013 (W19 D2).
• Barcelona's record at home to Serie A clubs is W14 D6 L2. They are unbeaten in their last 11 home fixtures against
Italian visitors, winning eight, since that 2003 defeat by Juve.
Juventus
• This is an 18th UEFA Champions League group stage campaign for Juve, and a sixth in succession.
• The Italian outfit have reached the knockout rounds in their last three attempts, having finished third in their section
in 2013/14.
• The draw at Barcelona was the only one of Juve's six away games in last season's competition that they failed to
win, with five clean sheets and just one goal conceded to 12 scored.
• Juventus won 3-1 at Sevilla FC on matchday five last term; that is their only victory from their last six trips to Spain.
Their overall away record against Liga opposition is W4 D6 L15.
Coach and player links
• Allegri suffered UEFA Champions League elimination against Barça in back-to-back seasons as Milan coach, in the
2011/12 quarter-finals (1-3) and the 2012/13 round of 16 (2-4). His full record in ten games versus the Blaugrana is

Head coach
Ernesto Valverde
Date of birth: 9 February 1964
Nationality: Spanish
Playing career: Deportivo Alavés, RCD Espanyol, FC Barcelona, Athletic Club, RCD Mallorca
Coaching career: Athletic Club (twice), RCD Espanyol, Olympiacos FC (twice), Villarreal CF, Valencia CF, FC
Barcelona
• Known as 'Txingurri' – or worker ant – as a player, former striker Valverde scored 44 goals in 170 appearances over
a six-year stay with Athletic. Had previously helped Espanyol to a third-place Liga finish in 1987 and an appearance in
the following season's UEFA Cup final, which they lost on penalties to Bayer 04 Leverkusen.
• Began coaching career in Athletic's youth ranks before stepping up to handle first-team affairs with the Basque club
in 2003/04; guided the Leones to UEFA Cup qualification in his first term in charge.
• Valverde again found himself losing a UEFA Cup final on penalties in 2007 – this time as coach of Espanyol – with
Liga rivals Sevilla FC emerging victorious in Glasgow.
• In his first season outside Spain, steered Olympiacos to a Greek league and cup double in 2008/09 before signing a
one-year deal with Villarreal in June 2009. Was sacked the following January with the Yellow Submarine in tenth.
• Rejoined Olympiacos in August 2010, lifting another championship at the end of his first campaign. Added a second
domestic double the next year but then stood down, taking the Valencia helm in December 2012 on a deal until the
end of the season. Reappointed by Athletic in June 2013 and took them to fourth in the Liga in his first term back,
winning the 2015 Spanish Super Cup with a 5-1 defeat of Barcelona – where he succeeded Luis Enrique as head
coach in May 2017.
Massimiliano Allegri
Date of birth: 11 August 1967
Nationality: Italian
Playing career: UC Cuoiopelli, AS Livorno Calcio (twice), Pisa Calcio, AC Pavia, Pescara Calcio (twice), Cagliari
Calcio, AC Perugia, Calcio Padova, SSC Napoli, AC Pistoiese, Aglianese Calcio 1923
Coaching career: Aglianese Calcio 1923, SPAL 1907, US Grosseto FC, US Sassuolo Calcio, Cagliari Calcio, AC
Milan, Juventus
• A creative attacking midfielder, Allegri started out in his native Tuscany with Cuoiopelli and then Livorno, his
hometown club. First appeared in Serie A for Pisa against Milan in 1988/89 but played only twice that season
before heading back to Livorno.
• Returned to Serie A after helping Pescara win promotion in 1992. The following term he scored 12 goals under
Giovanni Galeone, the coach Allegri still considers his mentor. After leaving Pescara in 1993, had spells at Cagliari,
Perugia, Padova and Napoli before hanging up his boots back in Tuscany with fourth division Aglianese in 2003.
• Moved straight into coaching at Aglianese, prior to taking charge at SPAL and Grosseto. In November 2008 he won
the Panchina d'Oro (golden bench) as the third division's best coach having led Sassuolo to promotion.
• Had earlier been appointed by Cagliari whom he led to ninth place in 2009, winning the Panchina d'Oro again, this
time as Serie A's best coach. A bad run of results the following season prompted Allegri's dismissal on 13 April 2010 –
although he had already done enough to earn a two-year contract at Milan.
• Allegri's first season at San Siro ended with his new club winning the Scudetto for the first time since 2004.
Dismissed in January 2014 with Milan 11th in Serie A, that summer he was appointed to succeed Antonio Conte at
Juventus. Allegri won the Scudetto and the Coppa Italia with Juventus in his first season, also taking his side to the
final of the UEFA Champions League, and added further domestic doubles in both 2015/16 and 2016/17, when they
again reached the UEFA Champions League final.

Competition facts
UEFA Champions League: Did you know?
• In 2012/13, Chelsea became the first defending champions to fail to get through a group stage since the UEFA
Champions League began. (This record, like the others, includes the seasons between 1999/2000 and 2002/03 that
featured a second group stage). In 1992/93, Barcelona were the reigning European Champion Clubs' Cup holders and
lost 4-3 on aggregate in the second round to CSKA Moskva.
• In 2016/17 Real Madrid became the first team to successfully defended the UEFA Champions League trophy, with
Milan (1989, 1990) the previous club to win consecutive European Cups. Milan (1994, 1995), Ajax (1995, 1996),
Juventus (1996, 1997) and Manchester United (2008, 2009) have all returned to the UEFA Champions League final
as holders only to lose.
• Lazio goalkeeper Marco Ballotta is the oldest player to compete in the UEFA Champions League having featured
against Real Madrid on matchday six in 2007/08 aged 43 years and 252 days. Alessandro Costacurta is the oldest
outfield player; the Milan defender was 40 years and 211 days when he played against AEK Athens in 2006/07.
• Francesco Totti is the oldest player to score in the competition, aged 38 years and 59 days, in Roma's 1-1 draw at
CSKA Moskva on 25 November 2014. Ryan Giggs (37 years 290 days) was the previous record holder.
• Celestine Babayaro is the youngest player to have appeared; he was 16 years and 87 days when he started for
Anderlecht against Steaua Bucureşti on 23 November 1994. He was sent off in the 37th minute.
• Peter Ofori-Quaye is the youngest player to have scored in the UEFA Champions League, aged 17 years and 195
days. He found the net in Olympiacos's 5-1 defeat at Rosenborg on 1 October 1997.
• Lionel Messi became the first player to score five goals in a match in Barcelona's 7-1 win against Bayer Leverkusen
on 7 March 2012, a feat matched by Shakhtar Donetsk's Luiz Adriano at BATE Borisov on 21 October 2014. Eleven
more players, also including Messi, have scored four times in a game, most recently Cristiano Ronaldo for Real
Madrid CF on matchday six in 2015/16.
• Cristiano Ronaldo set a new record for a UEFA Champions League stage with 11 goals in 2015/16, eclipsing his
own mark of nine goals in 2013/14, which Luiz Adriano matched in 2014/15. Lionel Messi got ten goals in 2016/17;
Zlatan Ibrahimović (2013/14), Ruud van Nistelrooy (2004/05), Filippo Inzaghi and Hernán Crespo (both 2002/03)
managed eight.
• Messi's hat-trick on matchday three of the 2016/17 competition was his seventh in the competition, a record Ronaldo
matched against Club Atlético de Madrid in the 2016/17 semi-finals.
• Barcelona have finished as group winners on 18 occasions, three more than Real Madrid and four more than
Manchester United and FC Bayern München.
• Bayern München (2 April 2013 to 27 November 2013) and Real Madrid (23 April 2014 to 18 February 2015) jointly
hold the record for successive wins in the UEFA Champions League proper with ten. Bayern surpassed the previous
mark of nine, set by Barcelona between 18 September 2002 and 18 February 2003.
• Six teams have recorded six successive victories in a UEFA Champions League group stage: Milan (1992/93), Paris
Saint-Germain (1994/95), Spartak Moskva (1995/96), Barcelona (2002/03, first group stage) and Real Madrid
(2011/12 and 2014/15).
• Nineteen teams have gone through a UEFA Champions League group stage without picking up a single point, most
recently Club Brugge KV and GNK Dinamo Zagreb in 2016/17.
• Borussia Dortmund set a new group stage record by scoring 21 goals in 2016/17, eclipsing the old mark of 20 by
Manchester United (1998/99), Barcelona (2011/12, 2016/17) and Real Madrid (2013/14).
• Only Deportivo La Coruña (2004/05), Maccabi Haifa (2009/10) and Dinamo Zagreb (2016/17) have failed to score in
a group stage.
• BATE Borisov conceded 24 goals in 2014/15, a new record which was matched by Legia Warszawa in 2016/17. The
previous mark, 22, was held by Dinamo Zagreb (2011/12) and Nordsjælland (2012/13); Malmö FF shipped 21 in
2015/16.
• No team has ever gone through a UEFA Champions League group stage without conceding a goal. Milan (1992/93),
Ajax (1995/96), Juventus (1996/97 and 2004/05), Chelsea (2005/06), Liverpool (2005/06), Villarreal (2005/06),
Manchester United (2010/11), Monaco (2014/15) and Paris Saint-Germain (2015/16) all let in just one.
• Before their 3-1 win against Sporting Clube de Portugal on matchday six of the 2006/07 campaign, Spartak Moskva
went 22 games without a victory in the competition, a mark Steaua Bucureşti surpassed on matchday six in 2013/14.
23
• RSC Anderlecht hold the unwanted record for successive defeats in the competition, group stage to final, having lost
12 in a row between December 2003 and November 2005. GNK Dinamo Zagreb are next with 11 consecutive losses
on two occasions, from September 2011 to December 2012 and again from 29 September 2015 onwards.
• The lowest total for a team qualifying from the group stage is six points: Zenit in 2013/14 and AS Roma in 2015/16.
Since three points for a win was introduced in 1995/96, eight teams have made it through with seven points: Legia
Warszawa (1995/96), Dynamo Kyiv (1999/2000), Liverpool (2001/02), Lokomotiv Moskva and eventual finalists
Juventus (both 2002/03), Rangers and Werder Bremen (2005/06) and Basel 1893 (2014/15).
• Napoli failed to qualify from their group with 12 points in 2013/14, the highest total of any team not to reach the next
stage when the top two in each section progressed. Dynamo Kyiv (1999/2000), Borussia Dortmund (2002/03 – both
second group stage), PSV Eindhoven (2003/04), Olympiacos and Dynamo Kyiv (both 2004/05), Werder Bremen
(2006/07), Manchester City (2011/12), Chelsea and CFR 1907 Cluj (both 2012/13), Benfica (2013/14) and FC Porto
(2015/16) all missed out with ten points.
• Only two teams have ever won the UEFA Champions League on home soil: Borussia Dortmund (1997, final in
Munich) and Juventus (1996, final in Rome), while Manchester United lost the 2011 final in London and 12 months
later Bayern were beaten in the showpiece in their own stadium, the Fußball Arena München.
