SCHALKE UEFA milestones None Match facts 0/0 UEFA Champions League statistics Five Schalke players have featured in all six UEFA Champions League games this season: Manuel Neuer, Heiko Westermann, Marcelo Bordon, Rafinha and Gerald Asamoah. Neuer, Westermann and Bordon have played all 0 minutes to date. Schalke scored only five goals in the group stage, with Celtic FC that was the lowest total of the sides in the first knockout round. Disciplinary information Jermaine Jones is available again having been suspended on Matchday while Bordon and Rafinha are both within a booking of a ban. Latest domestic information Friday February: Schalke VfL Wolfsburg (Vicente Sánchez ; Grafite ) Kevin Kuranyi returned from suspension, coming into the side in place of Halil Altıntop, but squandered a host of chances to seal the points for the home side before halftime and they were made to pay. Jones was banned after picking up five yellow cards so Peter Løvenkrands came in for his first Bundesliga start of the year. Christian Pander was not risked, despite returning to fitness. "We are very disappointed as we wasted so many chances," said coach Mirko Slomka. "This is a bitter home defeat but now we have to recover, and from Sunday our focus will be on the Porto match. In the Champions League you simply have to capitalise on chances like the ones we created tonight as you are unlikely to get too many." The result ended a run of three successive Bundesliga victories for Schalke, and a sequence of eight matches unbeaten in Gelsenkirchen in all competitions stretching back to the October defeat by Karlsruher SC. Despite the loss, Schalke have still won five of their last seven league fixtures. Schalke had gone into the German winter break on the back of a victory against. FC Nürnberg and picked up where they left off after the Bundesliga reconvened, beating VfB Stuttgart and Ruhr rivals BV Borussia Dortmund.

3 FC Schalke 0 FC Porto Tuesday February 0. CET The Dortmund win lifted Schalke back into the top three for the first time since October and prompted Asamoah to say: "Our goal has to be third place, but last season nobody thought Stuttgart would be champions. Maybe we can do the same." Schalke have only lost once on their travels in the Bundesliga, but of the eight other games, five ended in draws. Schalke are the Bundesliga's draw specialists, with they and Eintracht Frankfurt each recording eight onepoint hauls. Despite the draws, it is now more than a year since Schalke played out a goalless Bundesliga game, the last coming against Nürnberg on December 0. If matches were only minutes long then Schalke would be well on their way to the German title. However, over threequarters of the goals they have conceded ( out of ) have come after halftime. Neuer, Rafinha, Fabian Ernst, and Ivan Rakitić are all everpresent in the Bundesliga this season. Injury news Christian Pander out since 0 October (knee ligaments) Manuel Neuer out since February (knee) returned 0 February Zlatan Bajramović out since December (toe infection) Albert Streit out since October (knee) returned 0 February Kuranyi had pneumonia in early January, but was available for the Bundesliga resumption after the winter break.

"On and off the pitch, he epitomises the virtues that make Schalke a great club," said general manager Andreas Müller. Mladen Krstajić, Rakitić and Jones have been pardoned by the club after apologising for the visit to a nightclub that led to Schalke imposing a suspension on the trio on Matchday. Schalke's former Parkstadion home ( to 0) is to be demolished to make way for a hotel and medical centre.

4 FC Schalke 0 FC Porto Tuesday February 0. CET International news Jones and Westermann won their first caps for Germany in the 0 win against Austria on February, in a match that also featured Kuranyi. Rafinha had hopes of making it three international debutants for Schalke after receiving his maiden callup by Brazil, but did not appear in the Republic of Ireland. There was also disappointment for Levan Kenia as Georgia lost to Latvia, while Rakitić played the last minutes of Croatia's 0 defeat by the Netherlands. Halil Altıntop played the first half of Turkey's 00 draw against Sweden in Istanbul before being substituted. The day before, Benedikt Höwedes had helped the Germany Under national team beat a Belgium U side. TO UEFA milestones None 0/0 UEFA Champions League statistics Six Porto players have featured in all six UEFA Champions League games this season: Bruno Alves, Bosingwa, Paulo Assunção, Ricardo Quaresma, Raul Meireles and Lisandro López. Bruno Alves, Bosingwa and Quaresma have played all 0 minutes to date. Disciplinary information Quaresma and Milan Stepanov will incur a suspension with their next yellow cards. Latest domestic information Friday February: CS Marítimo 0 Porto (Lisandro López 0, Tarik Sektioui ) Jesualdo Ferreira's charges withstood early pressure to eventually cruise to victory, aided by the dismissal of the hosts' Djalma on the hour. Porto were almost back to full strength after several players returned having been rested for the Portuguese Cup win at Sertanense FC the previous week. Bosingwa was ruled out, however, so Fucile switched to rightback with Marek Čech coming in to the left side of defence. "It is always hard to play at Marítimo but we were aware just how important it was to get a result here," said coach Jesualdo Ferreira. "When Porto show the determination and courage they did tonight we are a very difficult team to handle. We have three more points and a timely morale boost ahead of the UEFA Champions League clash with Schalke. We have the best attack, the best defence and the best goalscorer in the league so we are in a good place at the moment." The 0 scoreline equalled Porto's biggest ever margin of victory against Marítimo in Madeira. López has scored five goals in his last four games and is the Liga's top scorer by some distance, taking his tally to on Friday. "To be the best scorer in the Portuguese Liga is not my main goal," López insisted. "My main aim is to win the championship. If I'm able to finish top scorer in the process then of course I will be very happy." Substitute Tarik Sektioui's goal came on his first league appearance since returning from African Cup of Nations duty. Porto have experienced a relative loss of form since rounding off their successful UEFA Champions League group stage campaign with a win on December. They suffered their first Portuguese Liga defeat of the season ten days later at the hands of CD Nacional (0) and though they bounced back with two wins following the winter break, Porto lost again on January, going down at Sporting Clube de Portugal.

8 FC Schalke 0 FC Porto Tuesday February 0. CET Head coach FC Schalke 0: Mirko Slomka Date of birth: September Nationality: German Coaching career: Hannover (youth coach), Tennis Borussia Berlin, Hannover (assistant coach), FC Schalke 0 One of only a handful of German coaches to succeed at the highest level despite never playing professionally, Mirko Slomka began his footballing career as a youthteam coach at Hannover between and where he helped nurture future Germany stars Gerald Asamoah, Sebastian Kehl, Per Mertesacker and Fabian Ernst. Subsequently appointed as assistant coach at third division Tennis Borussia Berlin, he enjoyed a fourmonth spell in sole command before leaving the club in 0 to become Ralf Rangnick's assistant at Hannover. He and Rangnick led the club to promotion to the Bundesliga in the 0/0 season but both were dismissed in March 0, and subsequently took charge at FC Schalke 0 that September. The duo helped Schalke challenge FC Bayern München for the title in their first season but Rangnick was dismissed in the winter of 0 with Slomka eventually being appointed as his successor on January 0. The appointment did not initially please supporters, with Slomka's men finishing fourth in 0/0. However, he impressed the following campaign when he took Schalke to the verge of the title before finishing second just two points behind champions VfB Stuttgart. In March 0, he signed a new contract committing him to the Gelsenkirchen club until 0. FC Porto: Jesualdo Ferreira Date of birth: June Nationality: Portuguese Coaching career: A. Académica de Coimbra, CF Estrela da Amadora, FAR Rabat, Portuguese Football Association (youth coach), FC Alverca, SL Benfica, SC Braga, Boavista FC, FC Porto Manuel Jesualdo Ferreira has come a long way prior to arriving at FC Porto in summer 0 at the age of 0. Despite a lowkey playing career, it gave him a valuable grounding and he was quick to put those lessons into practice as a coach at A. Académica de Coimbra and CF Estrela da Amadora. Ferreira's career took a step forward as assistant to António Oliveira at SL Benfica, and he was part of the coaching setup that brought the Portuguese title to the Lisbon club in /. He then moved abroad to take charge of Moroccan outfit FAR Rabat. Ferreira returned to his homeland within a year to work with the Portuguese Football Association between and 00, including an assistant role in the senior setup and responsibility for the Under side. He then had a brief spell at FC Alverca before returning to Benfica but failed to make an impact after taking full control of firstteam affairs and left in April 0. Success with SC Braga was just around the corner, however, whom he guided to fifth place in 0/0 and fourth in each of the following two seasons. He was naturally a coach in demand and in May 0 was given the reins at Boavista FC, only to leave without taking charge of a single competitive match. The vacancy at crosscity rivals Porto was too good to resist the following August and he did not hesitate in signing a oneyear contract with the 0 UEFA Champions League winners. He then earned a further year in signing an extension in November 0. Having taken unfashionable Braga into the UEFA Cup three seasons running, Ferreira followed that with the league title and UEFA Champions League qualification at the end of his first season with Porto.

14 FC Schalke 0 FC Porto Tuesday February 0. CET UEFA information Antisocial behaviour General Secretary David Taylor has highlighted UEFA's plans to combat fan misconduct in the near future, telling uefa.com: "UEFA have been very strong in terms of their messages, the actions they are taking, and sanctioning activities which breach fundamental human rights. And we've seen situations where, in terms of hooliganism last year, a club was ejected from one of our major competitions. "Now we will not hesitate to take such action if the circumstances require, but each case must be treated on its merits. There are greater difficulties, of course, with incidents which happen outside football stadiums, further away from football grounds. This is where the police and civic authorities must work with football to deal with these matters. They are not primarily the responsibility of football it's a societal problem. UEFA will deal with matters within our capability and within our regulatory powers, but we must work with the civic authorities to have a stronger joint action against these things which have negative influences on our sport." Munich tribute Mr Taylor also spoke of the "unique bond" between Manchester United FC and European football's governing body on the 0th anniversary of the Munich air disaster. The tragedy on February cost people including eight United players their lives as the team returned from a European Champion Clubs' Cup quarterfinal against FK Crvena Zvezda in Belgrade. "On behalf of UEFA, the UEFA President Michel Platini, and the entire European football family, I am honoured to be here with you today to pay our respects to the victims of the Munich air disaster," said Mr Taylor at the memorial service in Manchester. "Manchester United are one of the great clubs in Europe. They have been pioneers in many areas. The tragedy of the Munich air disaster has, however, created a special bond between the club and the organisers of European football, a bond which remains strong to this day." Referees' course Respect and protection will be the watchwords for UEFA's leading referees when the European club competitions resume. That was the clear message from the th UEFA Advanced Course for Elite and Premier Referees in Limassol, Cyprus, between and February. The need for strict action to be taken to protect players from unfair play including dangerous tackles and holding in the penalty area and also to protect the image of the game, particularly in scenes of player confrontation, was also emphasised. Equally, the importance of maintaining respect was writ large, with match officials told not to hesitate over sanctioning players who undermine their authority. During a discussion session in Limassol, the referees unanimously declared themselves in favour of introducing goalline technology to assist them in eliminating any element of doubt in cases where it is uncertain whether or not the ball has crossed the line. However, the referees were opposed both to the use of video technology elsewhere on the pitch and to the presence of a monitor to aid the fourth official at pitchside. Trophy tour Football fans in Brazil are being given a unique opportunity to see the UEFA Champions League trophy as European football's most coveted club prize has begun a twomonth tour of four Latin American countries. A ceremony in Sao Paulo on Friday launched the UEFA Champions League Trophy Tour sponsored by Heineken and stopping in Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Mexico. Former Brazil international Bebeto, a FIFA World Cup winner in, is the Trophy Tour ambassador in Sao Paulo.
