Bayern's Daniel Van Buyten settled an evenlybalanced game in Romania against FC Steaua Bucureşti in favour of the Bundesliga champions with a thminute header. In their last two UEFA Champions League campaigns 00/0 and 00/0 Bayern started with three successive victories while in 00/0 they won their first two. Lyon were also the opponents the last time Bayern played host to French opponents in the UEFA Champions League, a 00/0 groupstage game which ended in a victory for the visitors. Former Bayern striker Giovane Elber made it a successful homecoming with a fierce leftfoot shot eight minutes into the second half to give Lyon the points after Roy Makaay () had cancelled out Juninho Pernambucano's sixthminute strike. The lineups that night were: Bayern: Oliver Kahn, Willy Sagnol (Mehmet Scholl), Bixente Lizarazu, Samuel Osei Kuffour, Robert Kovač, Martín Demichelis (Jens Jeremies), Roy Makaay, Zé Roberto, Michael Ballack, Claudio Pizarro (Roque Santa Cruz), Hasan Salihamidžić. Lyon: Grégory Coupet, Edmílson, Michael Essien (Sidney Govou), Mahamadou Diarra, Juninho Pernambucano (Eric Carrière), Giovane Elber (Claudio Caçapa), Florent Malouda, Anthony Réveillère, Péguy Luyindula, Patrick Müller, Jérémy Berthod.

2 FC Bayern München Olympique Lyonnais Tuesday 0 September CET Bayern's last home game in the competition resulted in a 0 defeat by AC Milan in the 00/0 quarterfinal second leg. It brought to an end an elevenmatch unbeaten run in Munich in the UEFA Champions League during which they had won eight and drawn three. Earlier in the 00/0 campaign, Bayern won their first home group game and followed that with two draws. They then beat Real Madrid CF at home in the first knockout round to secure an awaygoals victory. At home to Fiorentina on Matchday, Lyon were put on the back foot by the marksmanship of Alberto Gilardino who scored with headers at either end of the first half. Substitute Frédéric Piquionne's rdminute reply sparked a spirited fightback for the French doublewinners with Karim Benzema earning a point four minutes from time. Lyon extended their splendid recent record in Germany when they won 0 away at VfB Stuttgart on Matchday last season. It meant they had won on all their last four visits to that country. On their previous appearances either side of that 00/0 triumph in Munich they beat Bayer 0 Leverkusen in the 00/0 first group stage, and Werder Bremen 0 in the first knockout round in 00/0. Juninho also scored in that win at the Weserstadion. Before that sequence away to Bundesliga clubs Lyon had a poor record in Germany. They started with a draw at Hamburger SV and followed that with five straight defeats in which they failed to score a single goal. The last of those losses was Bayern's 0 victory in November 000. Lyon's first away game in last season's competition resulted in a 0 defeat at FC Barcelona but they then won twice on their travels against Stuttgart and Rangers FC, scoring five without reply over the two games to ensure they finished second in the group. In the first knockout round a 0 reverse at Manchester United FC confirmed their departure from the tournament, losing on aggregate. Lyon striker Fred has good memories of the Fußball Arena München having scored there within two minutes of coming on as a substitute for Brazil in the 00 FIFA World Cup game with Australia to seal a 0 win. Frenchman Sagnol and Franck Ribéry will come up against international teammates François Clerc, JeanAlain Boumsong, Benzema, Sidney Govou and Jérémy Toulalan.

Latest domestic information Saturday September: Hannover 0 FC Bayern München (Huszti ) Bayern suffered a second successive Bundesliga defeat as Szabolcs Huszti's firsthalf goal earned home side Hannover all three points. The Hungarian midfielder scored direct from a freekick after a Van Bommel foul on the edge of the box. Bayern coach Jürgen Klinsmann said: "We did not start too badly and controlled the game but we lost our rhythm after the goal. We simply failed to create meaningful chances for our strikers thereafter. There was a lot lacking when it came to turning the match on its head: creativity, intelligence and running off the ball for starters. This defeat was totally unnecessary; it hurts." Franck Ribéry replaced Tim Borowski at halftime to make his first Bundesliga appearance of the season, though Christian Lell lasted just minutes before limping off with a right thigh muscle strain.

3 FC Bayern München Olympique Lyonnais Tuesday 0 September CET Bayern suffered their biggest Bundesliga defeat for almost three decades as they were beaten by Werder Bremen on 0 September. Bremen opened up a fivegoal lead at the Fußball Arena München before former Werder midfielder Borowski on as a substitute gave the scoreline more respectability in the closing stages. Klinsmann said: "Games like these give coaches a chance to learn a lot. We have to live with the result, put it behind us. When you are on the ground, you have to get up again and we will get up." The loss was Bayern's worst in the Bundesliga since DSC Arminia Bielefeld's 0 victory in March, while not since and a 0 reverse to FC Schalke 0, have they suffered a heavier home defeat. It also marked the first time Michael Rensing had been on the losing side in Bundesliga matches for Bayern. Bayern bounced back by booking their place in the last of the German Cup thanks to a 0 win against. FC Nürnberg on September thanks to goals from Miroslav Klose and Borowski. Klose returned to the Bayern side having sat out the Bremen match with a thigh injury, and was replaced by Ribéry midway through the second half. It was the France international's first appearance since June when he tore ankle ligaments in the 0 loss to Italy at UEFA EURO 00. He had been expected to feature against Bremen but suffered a minor thigh muscle strain. Before going to Hannover, Bayern had scored in each of their last eleven games in domestic competition, a run stretching back to the goalless draw with VfL Wolfsburg on May. Rensing and Philipp Lahm have played every minute of Bayern's six Bundesliga matches to date. Lell, Borowski and Lukas Podolski have also featured in every game. Injury news Christian Lell out since September (right thigh) Willy Sagnol out since August (achilles) Hamit Altıntop out since August (metatarsal) Franck Ribéry out June to September (ankle ligaments, thigh muscle) Miroslav Klose out September (thigh muscle) Sagnol is expected to be out of action for "a long time" after undergoing surgery on an achilles tendon on August.

The yearold broke a bone in his right foot during Turkey's draw in Belarus and was sidelined for two months before returning for UEFA EURO 00. However, Altıntop felt pain in his foot during the cup game at FC RotWeiss Erfurt on 0 August and although he then lasted minutes of the draw with BV Borussia Dortmund, he has been advised by club medics to rest the foot.

"Mark was predestined for the role," said Klinsmann. "He's been an outstanding leader of the team since preseason training started in June, and commands admiration and respect from young and old alike. He's a positivethinking character, radiates passion and isn't afraid to voice criticisms when he feels it necessary." Borowski played his th Bundesliga game against Hannover.

The interior features 0 leather seats, satellite TV, a DVD system and a kitchen area with ceramic cooking plates and an icemaker. Lyon UEFA milestones The Fiorentina match was Lyon's th game in the European Champion Clubs' Cup. Karim Benzema's strike on Matchday was Lyon's 0th goal in UEFA club competition. Anthony Réveillère's next match in UEFA club competition will be his 0th. UEFA Champions League statistics None Disciplinary information Lyon have no players suspended or within a booking of a ban. Latest domestic information Saturday September: Olympique Lyonnais AS NancyLorraine (Benzema, Fred ; Berenguer ) Lyon claimed a fifth Ligue win in succession to consolidate their place at the top of the table. Anthony Mounier's surge down the left ended with him cutting the ball back for Benzema to put the hosts ahead just after the halfhour and Lyon were soon celebrating again. Celebrating his st birthday, Mounier was once more the provider, teeing up Fred for his first goal of the season. Nancy halved the deficit almost immediately through Pascal Berenguer, but Lyon reassumed control in the second half and could have won by more. Coach Claude Puel said: "We were a bit naïve after our second goal and conceded it put them back on track. It was a pity because we deserved more in the first half. In the second half we were braver and showed that we can close out the game but we should be more ruthless and put that sort of game beyond doubt earlier." Sidney Govou was suspended for the visit of Nancy, so Puel opted to revert to a formation. Benzema took his Ligue tally for the season to six but his and Lyon's joy was tempered by him limping off with a knee injury on minutes, with Miralem Pjanic replacing him. Eight of Lyon's league goals have come from setpieces. Lyon are matches unbeaten in all competitions, a sequence stretching back to the Ligue loss at Olympique de Marseille on April, although they did lose on penalties to FC Girondins de Bordeaux in the French Super Cup on August. They have not been defeated at home since the corresponding fixture against OM last term on November, a run of games. Ederson's penalty his first goal for the club proved enough to beat Le Havre AC 0 on 0 September. Govou was sent off for two bookable offences midway through the second half but Lyon held on. It was Govou's second red card in games spanning ten seasons in Ligue. Lyon's tally of points after seven games equalled their best ever start to a season, set in 00/0. Lyon have conceded just three goals in their first seven league games, four less than at the same stage last season. Mathieu Bodmer, Hugo Lloris and Jean II Makoun have played every minute of Lyon's seven Ligue matches. Réveillère, Benzema, Frédéric Piquionne and Ederson have featured in all the games. Injury news Fabio Grosso out since September (rib) François Clerc out since 0 August (knee) Kader Keita out since July (forearm) Joan Hartock out since August (ribs) Clément Grenier out since July (knee) Fábio Santos out since July (cheekbone) Juninho Pernambucano out since September (groin strain) Kader Keita and Fábio Santos returned to action as Lyon's reserves drew 00 with ASF Andrézieux on September.

8 FC Bayern München Olympique Lyonnais Tuesday 0 September CET Head coach FC Bayern München: Jürgen Klinsmann Date of birth: 0 July Nationality: German Playing career: SV Stuttgarter Kickers, VfB Stuttgart, FC Internazionale Milano, AS Monaco FC, Tottenham Hotspur FC, FC Bayern München, UC Sampdoria Coaching career: Germany, FC Bayern München One of the finest strikers in the world in the late 0s and early 0s, Jürgen Klinsmann is looking to prove just as inspirational on the bench as he was on the pitch, helping West Germany to triumph at the 0 FIFA World Cup and then winning EURO ' with a reunited Germany team. He retired from international football with goals in 0 appearances, making him the second mostcapped player in German history. Working under the likes of Arsène Wenger and Giovanni Trapattoni during a club career which took in spells at VfB Stuttgart, FC Internazionale Milano, AS Monaco FC, Tottenham Hotspur FC and FC Bayern München, Klinsmann has worked with plenty of great coaches. Scoring well over 00 league goals, Klinsmann was an exceptional talent, even though he was to end his club career with only two major trophies the 0/ UEFA Cup won with Inter and the / edition won at Bayern. Initially it seemed that Klinsmann had turned his back on football after hanging up his boots in, moving to the United States to work in sports marketing. However, he made several appearances for Orange County Blue Star in California under the pseudonym Jay Goppingen a reference to his home town in 00 to keep his eye in, before accepting the job of Germany coach in July 00. Hired to lead the national team as hosts at the 00 FIFA World Cup finals in tandem with his assistant and eventual successor Joachim Löw, Klinsmann's young side shone on the way to taking bronze. Stepping down despite clamour for him to stay on, Klinsmann said he yearned for normal family life but he was eventually tempted back to football by his old side, Bayern, replacing Ottmar Hitzfeld in July 00. Olympique Lyonnais: Claude Puel Date of birth: September Nationality: French Playing career: AS Monaco FC Coaching career: AS Monaco FC, LOSC Lille Métropole, Olympique Lyonnais Olympique Lyonnais coach Claude Puel is no stranger to big European nights, having spent years as player and coach at AS Monaco FC and then led LOSC Lille Métropole into the UEFA Champions League. Puel amassed league games as Monaco's midfield anchorman, winning two French titles ( and ) and the French Cup in addition to reaching the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup final and the UEFA Champions League semifinals two years later. When appointed Lille coach in the summer of 00, Puel focused on the longterm, laying down the foundations for a fiveyear plan; his ambitions came to fruition well ahead of schedule as he steered his team into Europe's premier club competition in less than four years thanks to a secondplaced finish in Ligue in 00/0. Although Lille failed to progress from the UEFA Champions League group stage the next season, the club went on to the UEFA Cup Round of losing to eventual winners Sevilla FC. Puel's coaching philosophy is simple: assemble a team with high fitness levels, stamina and speed in abundance and a miserly defence and with a bit of luck any team is beatable. Such virtues helped Monaco to the French title in 000 and earned Lille a UEFA Intertoto Cup victory in 00 before the northern club secured second place in Ligue in 00 their best finish for 0 years. They earned another tilt at the UEFA Champions League after finishing third in the French top flight in 00 and defeating F.Y.R. Macedonia's FK Rabotnicki in the third qualifying round that August, with Puel having signed a new contract earlier in the year. This time they reached the first knockout round, thanks to a memorable groupstage win at AC Milan, only for Manchester United FC to prove too strong. After two midtable finishes in Ligue, Puel joined Lyon in the summer of 00. Last updated.0.00 ::CET Head coach

14 FC Bayern München Olympique Lyonnais Tuesday 0 September CET UEFA information UEFA statement on EURO 0 UEFA has reaffirmed its commitment to staging UEFA EURO 0 in Poland and Ukraine. The UEFA Executive Committee reached this decision at its meeting in Bordeaux, France, on September. The committee has set a number of conditions which the 0 cohosts must meet to move forward the organisation of the tournament in four summers' time, with UEFA deciding in particular on the number of stadiums to be used a maximum of eight and a minimum of six. The completion of stadiums in the two capitals, Warsaw (Poland) and Kiev (Ukraine), is seen as crucial to the 0 project. The UEFA Executive Committee stressed a number of conditions which must be met in order to bring the whole project forward, including: Both host countries must continue to make the necessary efforts as any slackening could put in doubt the organisation of this tournament in these countries; UEFA will decide how many and which stadiums (and therefore cities) will be used as venues for the competition, with a minimum of six and a maximum of eight, taking into account that contracts have been signed with eight stadiums, cities and airports; There will not necessarily be the same number of venues (cities) per country; The completion of the Kiev and Warsaw stadiums remains an essential element of the whole project; The governments of both countries must support their national associations and fulfil the commitments they gave to UEFA in the scope of the project, notably concerning accommodation and transport infrastructures. EURO expansion Also in Bordeaux, the UEFA Executive Committee approved the expansion of the final tournament of the UEFA European Championship from to teams, as from the 0 edition. The format of the final tournament will consist of six groups of four teams, followed by a round of, quarterfinals, semifinals and the final. The top two from each group would qualify in addition to the four best thirdranked sides. This format would generate a total of games, compared with now, to be played over a period of to days depending on the match schedule. The traditional qualifying structure, with groups of six and five teams, will remain in place. UEFA Cup to become UEFA Europa League The UEFA Executive Committee also endorsed the change of name for the UEFA Cup to the UEFA Europa League from 00/0. The new name heralds major changes to the competition, which will have a new team group stage with centralised marketing of broadcast rights, a presenting sponsor and an official matchball in addition to centralised sponsorship from the knockout stage and a new logo and visual identity. UEFA President Michel Platini said: "These changes will improve this historic competition, which is very important for UEFA and for European football as it gives more fans, players and clubs the thrill of European club football. I am convinced the new format will give the UEFA Europa League a successful new impetus." Investigative unit UEFA's efforts to help protect the integrity of football have been strengthened by a decision by the UEFA Executive Committee, which agreed to reinforce UEFA's disciplinary services by improving the current UEFA earlywarning system on issues involving possible corruption or betting irregularities. Two additional fulltime staff and four additional disciplinary inspectors, with specific experience in criminal investigation and good police contacts, will be recruited to work full time for UEFA. "The integrity of football is fundamental to the success of the sport," said UEFA General Secretary David Taylor. "Uncertainty of outcome is what makes sport interesting. If matches are manipulated, it is the biggest and most serious danger to our game." Zero tolerance for racism and discrimination UEFA begins the latest UEFA Champions League and UEFA Cup seasons determined to step up its fight to eliminate the evil of racism and intolerance from football. The message is clear there will be zero tolerance of any racism or discrimination, on or off the field, at UEFA matches during the 00/0 campaign. Furthermore, UEFA's match delegates and officials are being urged to play a full role in catching the perpetrators. The UEFA President called on match delegates to do everything within their power to help the European body and the Football Against Racism in Europe network (FARE) to fight racism effectively.
