For more detailed factual information, and indepth competition statistics, please refer to the matchweek press kit, which can be downloaded at: Match background The 3th and last edition of the UEFA Cup brings together FC Shakhtar Donetsk and Werder Bremen for the final in Istanbul, with the former looking for a first European trophy and the latter their second following their triumph in the 1991/92 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup. Shakhtar are aiming to become the first Ukrainian side to win the UEFA Cup. Should Bremen triumph, it would be a seventh success for German clubs, which would make the Bundesliga the second most successful league in UEFA Cup terms behind Serie A, who have provided nine winning teams. Not only are Shakhtar bidding for their first continental title, they are also playing in their first major European final. Prior to this season, their most substantial UEFA Cup achievements were in reaching the last 1 on three occasions, most recently losing out to eventual winners Sevilla FC in 2005/0. Bremen coach Thomas Schaaf was a member of the team which beat AS Monaco FC 20 to lift the 1991/92 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, the club's only final in one of the three major European competitions. They have reached the UEFA Cup semifinals on three previous occasions (19/, 199/90 and 200/0), although this is the first time they have managed to get to the final. Shakhtar's Romanian coach Mircea Lucescu was a UEFA Super Cup winner in 2000 while in charge of Galatasaray AŞ and knows all about Fenerbahçe SK's Şükrü Saraçoglu Stadium from his time as coach of Istanbul rivals Galatasaray and Beşiktaş JK. Shakhtar's record against German clubs: P9 W4 D2 L3 F10 A10 Bremen's record against Ukrainian clubs: P4 W2 D1 L1 F14 A The two finalists and their two coaches have never met in UEFA club competition. Shakhtar first came up against German opponents in the 19/ UEFA Cup first round, winning 30 at home and drawing 11 away against Berliner FC Dynamo from the former East Germany. They first faced opposition from the old West Germany in the 190/1 UEFA Cup first round, winning 10 at home against Eintracht Frankfurt but losing 30 away. In total Shakhtar have played four twolegged ties against German opponents, winning two and losing two. In 2005/0, they met VfB Stuttgart in the UEFA Cup group stage, earning an impressive 20 win in Germany. Last updated :55:49CET Match background 1

2 FC Shakhtar Donetsk Werder Bremen Wednesday 20 May CET (21.45 local time) Shakhtar are unbeaten in their last three games against German sides, all under Lucescu's leadership. The success at Stuttgart followed a meeting with FC Schalke 04 in the 2004/05 UEFA Cup Round of 32 which Shakhtar won 21 on aggregate following a 11 home draw and 10 away success. During his time as coach of Romania, Lucescu's side lost 21 against both West Germany and East Germany, the former game at the 194 UEFA European Championship and the latter in August 194. As a striker for FC Dinamo 194 Bucureşti, Lucescu also played in a twolegged 194/5 UEFA Cup tie against 1. FC Köln, with his side losing 32 in Cologne after a 11 draw in Romania. Bremen first met Ukrainian opponents in the first round of the 195/ UEFA Cup, losing 21 away against FC Chornomorets Odesa and winning 32 at home to bow out on away goals. Schaaf was in the starting lineup in both legs. With Schaaf installed as coach, Bremen's second taste of Ukrainian opposition came against Shakhtar's city rivals FC Metalurh Donetsk in the first round of the 2002/03 UEFA Cup, drawing 22 in Ukraine before an emphatic 0 victory in the return fixture. Disciplinary information Shakhtar: Olexandr Kucher returns from suspension but Tomáš Hübschmann misses the final following a booking in the semifinal second leg. Bremen: Diego and Hugo Almeida are serving onematch bans. Penalty shootout record Shakhtar: Shakhtar were beaten 41 on penalties at Club Brugge KV following a 22 aggregate draw in the third qualifying round of the 2002/03 UEFA Champions League. Bremen: Bremen have never been involved in a penalty shootout in UEFA club competition. Istanbul connections Both Shakhtar and Bremen are playing at the Şükrü Saraçoglu Stadium for the first time in competitive fixtures. Shakhtar lost 21 in a friendly against Fenerbahçe at the stadium on 23 July 200, with Brandão scoring their only goal (4) after Semih Şentürk (4) and Daniel Güiza (5) had put the home side ahead. Bremen have played in Istanbul once before, with Schaaf in the team as they earned a 00 draw at Galatasaray in the quarterfinals of the 1991/92 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup en route to winning the competition. Shakhtar have never played in Istanbul. Shakhtar's Oleksandr Chyzhov has played at the stadium before having appeared in Ukraine's 20 defeat against Turkey on 14 October 200 in qualifying for the 2009 UEFA European Under21 championship. Goalkeeper Bohdan Shust was an unused substitute. Bremen goalkeeper Tim Wiese has appeared at the Şükrü Saraçoglu Stadium too, featuring in the Germany side that drew 11 with Turkey in a playoff to reach the 2004 U21 finals on 1 November Bremen's Jurica Vranješ has also played at the arena, coming on in the 90th minute of Bayer 04 Leverkusen's 21 win at Fenerbahçe SK in the 2001/02 UEFA Champions League first group stage on 23 October Lucescu famously coached both of Fenerbahçe's local rivals to title success, winning the 2001/02 Süper Lig with Galatasaray and then guiding Beşiktaş to the championship the following season. During his time in Turkey, Lucescu played a total of five games at the Şükrü Saraçoglu Stadium with his record reading W1 D1 L3. That sole victory was a 10 win for Beşiktaş on 2 February Bremen midfielder Mesut Özil was born in Gelsenkirchen to Turkish parents, although he has never before played in Turkey. Özil's father Mustafa and mother Gülizar are both from Zonguldak in Turkey, though Mustafa was just two when he moved to Germany and is now a German citizen, as is his son who made his senior international debut for Germany minutes into a 10 friendly defeat against Norway on 11 February Last updated :55:49CET Match background 2

3 FC Shakhtar Donetsk Werder Bremen Wednesday 20 May CET (21.45 local time) In a recent interview, Özil revealed that Fenerbahçe were his boyhood club, saying: "I am happy to be playing at the stadium of a team I supported as a child. I have lots of friends and family in Turkey who say they are going to be at the final. If I play I will be the only Turkish player on the pitch and I have no doubt that the Turkish fans will get behind me for what should be an entertaining game." Final pedigree This is the third UEFA Cup final featuring two teams who transferred into the competition through finishing third in their section in the UEFA Champions League, after 1999/00 (Galatasaray v Arsenal FC) and 2001/02 (Feyenoord v BV Borussia Dortmund). Bremen have won one major final, beating Monaco 20 in the 1991/92 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup final in Lisbon. They played FC Barcelona in the 1993 UEFA Super Cup as a result, going down 32 on aggregate losing 21 at the Camp Nou and drawing 11 at home. Coach Lucescu aside, only three members of the Shakhtar squad have experience of a European final. Andriy Pyatov and Dmytro Chygrynskiy were in the starting lineup as Ukraine lost 30 to the Netherlands in the 200 European U21 Championship, while Mykola Ischenko was an unused substitute. Bremen's Vranješ was an unused substitute for Bayer 04 Leverkusen as they lost 21 to Real Madrid CF in the 2001/02 UEFA Champions League final in Glasgow. Bremen's Duško Tošić was part of the Serbia team who lost 41 to the Netherlands in the 200 U21 final in Groningen. Team information Schaaf is the longest serving coach currently operating in the Bundesliga, having joined Bremen in May Before that, he spent 1 years as a defender with the club, appearing in 22 Bundesliga games and scoring 13 goals. Bremen's Serbian fullback Tošić came up against Shakhtar's Pyatov and Chygrynskiy in the semifinals of the 200 European U21 Championship in Portugal, with Ukraine beating Serbia and Montenegro 54 on penalties after a goalless draw. Another Shakhtar player, Ischenko, was an unused substitute. Bremen midfielder Vranješ and Shakhtar captain Dario Srna were both members of the Croatia squad at the 200 FIFA World Cup, although the former has not been capped since October 200. Bremen leftback Tošić and Shakhtar midfielder Igor Duljaj play together in the Serbia national team. FC Shakhtar Donetsk Match facts Honours Domestic: 4 Ukrainian titles, Ukrainian Cups, 4 USSR Cups Trivia Founded in 193 as FC Stakhanovets, the Donbass side took on their current name in 194. Shakhtar's name literally means 'Miner'. Their nicknames, Hirnyky (the Pitmen) and Kroty (the Moles), also refer to their colliery roots. Shakhtar won four USSR Cups in the days of the Soviet Union and twice finished second in the league, in 195 and 199. In the latter season, Vitaliy Starukhin scored 2 goals and was named the Soviet Union's Player of the Year. Famous Shakhtar youth academy products include former Manchester United FC player Andrei Kanchelskis, onetime Russia captain Viktor Onopko and Serhiy Rebrov, while Shakhtar old boy Anatoliy Konkov was a member of the USSR squad that came second at the 192 UEFA European Championship. Route to the final Ukrainian champions Shakhtar finished third in UEFA Champions League Group C to reach the UEFA Cup Round of 32, where they beat Tottenham Hotspur FC 20 at home before drawing the return 11 in London. They lost 10 at PFC CSKA Moskva in the first leg of their Round of 1 tie but progressed after a 20 home success. The Pitmen faced French opposition in the quarterfinals, beating Olympique de Marseille 20 in Donetsk and 21 at the Stade Vélodrome. Then they ousted Ukrainian rivals FC Dynamo Kyiv in the semifinals, drawing 11 in Kiev but winning 21 at home. Last updated :55:49CET Match background 3

4 FC Shakhtar Donetsk Werder Bremen Wednesday 20 May CET (21.45 local time) Latest domestic information Saturday 1 May: FC Zorya Luhansk 03 FC Shakhtar Donetsk (Seleznov 4, Willian 0) Shakhtar guaranteed the runnersup spot in Ukraine with two matches remaining after a comfortable away success at Zorya despite fielding almost an entire second XI. Yevgen Seleznov sent the visitors on their way with a goal in either half, and Brazilian forward Willian sealed the win with a precise effort. Coach Lucescu said: "I'm happy with the players who haven't had that much playing time in the league this season. It was clear the squad have made progress this year. We decided to leave some of our top players at home to give them extra rest and we'll start to prepare for the final on Sunday." Lucescu utilised his favourite 442 strategy in Luhansk with just Mykola Ischenko starting from the side that won against Dynamo in their semifinal second leg. Tomáš Hübschman, who is suspended for the UEFA Cup final, came off the bench in the second half. After a terrible start and a quiet autumn in the Ukrainian Premier League, Shakhtar finally spluttered into gear after the winter break, but not in time to defend their title, with Dynamo confirmed as champions with three games to go. Lucescu's side avenged that defeat by beating Dynamo in the Ukrainian Cup semifinals, as well as in the same stage of the UEFA Cup. Shakhtar meet FC Vorskla Poltava in the Ukrainian Cup final on 31 May. Having conceded just 15 goals all season, Shakhtar's defence marshalled by Ukraine goalkeeper Andriy Pyatov is the tightest in the Premier League, and they have conceded just twice in their last ten league games. Obdurate in defence, Shakhtar have been a little less effective going forward with just 45 goals in their league games. Yevgen Seleznov is their top league scorer with seven goals. Having earlier announced that he would leave the club at the end of the current season, Lucescu has agreed to sign a new twoyear contract at Shakhtar, with the club eager to reward his efforts in Europe. Injury news Shakhtar have a fully fit squad to choose from. Werder Bremen Honours UEFA Cup Winners' Cup: 1991/92 UEFA Intertoto Cup: 199 Domestic: 4 German titles, 5 German Cups. Trivia Bremen have spent only one season outside the Bundesliga since it began in 193/4. That solitary secondtier campaign came in 190/1, with the team winning promotion straight back into the top flight. The club was founded in February 199 as FV Werder, with 'werder' being an obscure German word for a river island, like the Peterswerder upon which the Weserstadion stands. They became Werder Bremen in January 1920 and two years later were the first German team to hire a professional coach. Bremen are famous for their European miracles on home soil, with at least four games being remembered for a 'Wunder von der Weser': in the 19/ UEFA Cup they won 2 at home against FC Spartak Moskva after extra time, having lost the first leg 41. in the 19/9 European Champion Clubs' Cup they lost 30 at BFC Dynamo Berlin but prevailed with a 50 home success. In the 1993/94 campaign they came from 30 down in a UEFA Champions League group match against RSC Anderlecht to win 53. In the 1999/00 UEFA Cup third round they lost 30 at Olympique Lyonnais, but won 40 in the home leg. Last updated :55:49CET Match background 4

5 FC Shakhtar Donetsk Werder Bremen Wednesday 20 May CET (21.45 local time) Route to the final Bundesliga runnersup last season, Bremen earned their Round of 1 place by finishing third in UEFA Champions League Group B. They then overcame AC Milan on away goals in the Round of 32, drawing 11 at home and 22 at San Siro. They won 10 at home and drew 22 away against AS SaintEtienne to make it to the quarterfinals, where they met Udinese Calcio. After winning the home leg 31, Schaaf's men drew in Italy. Finally, they beat north German rivals Hamburger SV on away goals in the semis, losing 10 at home but triumphing 32 in Hamburg. Latest domestic information Saturday 1 May: Werder Bremen 13 Karslruher SC (Almeida 3; Stindl 39, Iashvili 55) An understrength Bremen went down to a surprise home defeat by bottom side Karlsruhe. The game got off to a turbulent start as Tim Wiese saved a Marco Engelhardt penalty in the third minute. The visitors took the lead just before halfhour mark when Lars Stindl headed in and the same player then volleyed in a second before the break. Slack defending allowed Alexander Iashvili to make it three and although Hugo Almeida suspended for the final got one back late on, it was too little, too late for the hosts. "Maybe the closer you get to a final, the more careful you become, not wanting to pick up an injury ahead of the big game," said Bremen coach Thomas Schaaf. "But we cannot allow ourselves to play like this. I was not pleased with the performance of my team. You simply cannot be satisfied with such a showing. We do more harm to ourselves like this than good." Clemens Fritz, Mesut Özil, Sebastian Boenisch and Peter Niemeyer were rested ahead of Wednesday's final, although the latter came on for Torsten Frings at halftime. Schaaf made a double substitution in the 59th minute, Fritz replacing Frank Baumann and Özil taking Jurica Vranješ's place. On Wednesday 13 May, Bremen ended a 12game wait for a Bundesliga away win, thrashing tenman Eintracht Frankfurt 50 (Frings 51pen 5, Tziolis 0, Pizarro 2, Almeida ). They had not won an away game in the league since beating FC Bayern München 52 on 20 September 200. Claudio Pizarro remains Bremen's top scorer in the league with 1 goals, ahead of elevengoal Diego, who is suspended for the UEFA Cup final. Mesut Özil has proved their most adept playmaker, with 15 assists to date. Saturday's result aside, the disparity between Bremen's reasonable home form and their indifferent away form has been their main problem in the league this season. They have picked up 34 points at the Weserstadion, but just eleven on the road. Bremen will end the season with one of their worst rankings in recent memory. Champions in 2003/04, they have not finished outside the top three in the last four seasons. With one game to go, they are now certain to finish in tenth place. Bremen will play Bayer 04 Leverkusen in the German Cup final on 30 May. They overcame the same opponents in both the UEFA Cup and domestic cup semifinals, Hamburg going down on penalties in the latter competition. Shakhtar also defeated the same team, Dynamo, in the last four at home and in Europe. Injury news Aaron Hunt out since 20 April (ankle) Daniel Jensen out since 1 April (achilles and groin) Per Mertesacker out since May (ankle) Naldo out since 11 May (groin) Petri Pasanen out 20 April to 11 May (toe operation) Claudio Pizarro out since 13 May (foot) Markus Rosenberg out since 13 May (ankle) Christian Vander out 29 April to 11 May (knee) Schaaf withdrew both Pizarro and Rosenberg from his squad to play Karlsruhe after both picked up injuries in the win over Eintracht.

He joined Dinamo Bucureşti in 193, making his topflight debut the following year. After spending two seasons in the second division with Stiinta Bucureşti, Lucescu returned to Dinamo and stayed another decade, winning five championships and the Romanian Cup. Lucescu represented his country 0 times, scoring nine goals and appearing at the 190 FIFA World Cup. He was appointed playercoach of Corvinul Hunedoara in 19 before hanging up his boots after 32 first division appearances and goals. As a coach his style has involved rebuilding teams, improving players who appeared to be the finished article, and he took over as coach of Romania in 191, becoming their technical director a year later. In 19, he returned to Dinamo as coach and guided them to a league title and cup win as well as the 199/90 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup semifinals. A workaholic who speaks six foreign languages, Lucescu then had spells in charge of Italian sides Pisa, Brescia, Reggiana and Inter. After returning to Romania and leading Rapid Bucureşti to their first title for 32 years in 1999, he moved to Turkey's Galatasaray, where he was a league winner and also got his hands on the UEFA Super Cup in After another title with Beşiktaş he took charge of Shakhtar in 2004 and has since guided the club to championships in 2005, 200 and 200, adding the Ukrainian Cup last year. Signed a new twoyear contract in April. Werder Bremen: Thomas Schaaf Date of birth: 30 April 191 Nationality: German Playing career: Werder Bremen Coaching career: Werder Bremen Oneclub man Thomas Schaaf is among the most unflappable coaches on the European circuit and, through a combination of tactical acumen and shrewd work in the transfer market, he has turned Bremen into one of Germany's most impressive teams in recent years. As a defender, Schaaf enjoyed a terrific 1season stay at Bremen and played 23 Bundesliga matches for the club after breaking through in 19. In the process he formed close ties which led to him joining the coaching setup at the Weserstadion at the end of his playing days. He served his apprenticeship with the Under1s and the reserves before taking control of the first team alongside former teammate Klaus Allofs in May 1999, successfully helping Bremen avoid the drop. Schaaf has matured into a patient, thoughtful and diligent coach, working with general manager Allofs to assemble a fine team. Schaaf enjoyed spectacular success in 2003/04 when he guided Bremen to the Bundesliga and German Cup double, clinching the title with a defeat of runnersup FC Bayern München. Although Bremen failed to hit those heights in 2004/05, they did enjoy a promising UEFA Champions League campaign before being ambushed 102 on aggregate by Olympique Lyonnais. They reached the first knockout round again in 2005/0, going out on the awaygoals rule to Juventus. The next season, Bremen again played in the UEFA Champions League group stage before transferring to the UEFA Cup and reaching the semifinals. Despite looking favourites to win the 200/0 German title at times, they ulitmately finished third, earning another UEFA Champions League place something they repeated with their secondplace finish in 200/0.

19 FC Shakhtar Donetsk Werder Bremen Wednesday 20 May CET (21.45 local time) FC Shakhtar Donetsk Team facts UEFA club competition milestones Shakhtar did not make their debut in qualifying for European club football's premier competition until 2000/01 but their first season ranks as their equal best effort as they reached the group stage. There they defeated Arsenal FC 30, a result that was not enough to secure qualification but ranks as one of the club's best. UEFA Cup milestones Two appearances in the Round of 1 represented the highwater marks of Shakhtar's UEFA Cup history until this season. They lost home and away against AZ Alkmaar in the 2004/05 edition, and narrowly missed out to eventual winners Sevilla FC in 200/0, drawing 22 in Spain but losing 32 at home in the return fixture.
