FC BATE Borisov - Real Madrid CF MATCH PRESS KIT • BATE hoped the maiden UEFA Champions League success would come in the home game with Zenit two weeks later but instead it was the visitors who reached that landmark. Pavel Pogrebnyak ended his goal drought to put the visitors on their way and although they lost Sébastien Puygrenier to a red card midway through the second half, Danny sealed the 2-0 win four minutes into stoppage time. • Before the game on 17 September, the Madrid club had never previously faced opposition from Belarus in a competitive fixture, while BATE had met a Spanish team just once previously. That came in last season's UEFA Cup first round when they took on Villarreal CF, losing 2-0 at home having already gone down 4-1 in the away leg. • On Matchday 2 Madrid won 2-1 at Zenit after an own goal by Tomáš Hubočan put them in front. After Danny had levelled, the nine-time European champions got their noses in front again as Van Nistelrooy took advantage of more defensive uncertainty to secure the points. • They followed that with the away game against Juventus when Del Piero was on the scoresheet again. Amauri made it 2-0 and while Van Nistelrooy's 66th-minute header cut the arrears that was as good as it got for Bernd Schuster's team. BATE Match facts UEFA milestones • Sergei Kryvets's goal against Juventus on Matchday 2 was BATE's first in the UEFA Champions League proper. UEFA Champions League statistics • Five BATE players have appeared in all ten games, including qualifying: Vladimir Rzhevski, Aleksandr Yurevich, Dmitri Likhtarovich, Kryvets and Pavel Nekhaychik. • Gennadi Bliznyuk's goal in the second qualifying round second leg against RSC Anderlecht was his tenth in UEFA club competition, equalling the record of Georgi Kondratyev for the most European goals scored by a Belarussian. It was Bliznyuk's seventh goal in UEFA Champions League qualifying as well – also a national record. • Likhtarovich has now played 44 matches in UEFA competition for Belarussian clubs, another record. BATE assistant coaches Vadim Skripchenko (30 games) and Aleksandr Fedorovich (28) are third and fourth on the list respectively. FC Barcelona's Aleksandr Hleb is the Belarussian with most appearances in UEFA club competition having featured 65 times. • BATE have been caught offside only five times, fewer than any other team. Disciplinary information • BATE have no players suspended or within a booking of a ban. Latest domestic information • Thursday 20 November: FC Minsk 1-4 FC BATE Borisov (agg: 4-4, BATE won 4-3 on penalties) (Khachaturyan 87; Rodionov 45, Kryvets 72, 75, Bliznyuk 90) BATE overturned a 3-0 first-leg deficit in thrilling fashion to progress to the Belarussian Cup quarter-finals. Vitali Rodionov set the visitors on their way in Minsk and they had levelled the aggregate scoreline with 15 minutes left thanks to two Kryvets goals. Anri Khagush's 85th-minute dismissal for two bookable offences turned the tide, however, and Andrei Khachaturyan quickly made matters worse for BATE. Yet a last-gasp Bliznyuk free-kick forced extra time and then penalties, where Aleksandr Gutor came to the fore, saving two of Minsk's spot-kicks to secure victory. • "I'm obviously happy with the outcome," said BATE coach Viktor Goncharenko. "We can use this positive result as a platform for our match against Real Madrid." • Following their 2-0 home defeat by FC Zenit St. Petersburg on Matchday 4, BATE suffered more disappointment on their return to domestic action as their 27-match unbeaten league run ended with a 2-1 reverse at FC Dinamo Minsk on 9 November. Once Sergei Gigevich (6) and Aleksandr Lebedev (43) put the hosts in charge, there was no way back for newly crowned Vysshaya Liga champions BATE, with Rodionov's 90th-minute header merely a consolation. • BATE's club-record sequence of 27 league games without defeat consisted of 18 wins and stretched back to the final day of the 2007 campaign when Minsk triumphed 2-1 in Borisov.

FC BATE Borisov - Real Madrid CF MATCH PRESS KIT • There was some good news for BATE, as captain Aleksandr Ermakovich came on after the interval for his first competitive appearance since September when he aggravated a knee injury. • "I probably should have made more changes to the starting XI," said Goncharenko. "The players looked tired and it was hard to watch at times. However, we do not have adequate replacements for all positions. Of course, it is a pity to lose our unbeaten run. Dinamo are our main rivals in Belarus but we still lacked motivation." • BATE picked themselves up three days later as Mikhail Sivakov's 36th-minute penalty earned an experimental side three Vysshaya Liga points at FC Savit Mogilev. With Nekhaychik the sole survivor from the starting XI that lost to Zenit, Valentin Radevich hit the post after only 28 seconds before Sivakov struck following a foul on Vitali Kazantsev. • The Vysshaya Liga drew to a close on 16 November with BATE signing off with a 1-1 draw at home to FC Vitebsk. Rodionov's header (67) was cancelled out by Ruslan Usov deep into added time. • "We have had a fine season," said Goncharenko. "I have nothing to complain about. We won all the key fixtures when we had to win. I am worried about the number of late goals we are conceding though – in added time today, and before that in the game against Zenit." • Rodionov and Bliznyuk topped the Vysshaya Liga scoring chart with 16 goals apiece. Bliznyuk fell two short of his 2007 haul while Rodionov surpassed his by a solitary strike. • Maksim Zhavnerchik has not appeared for the Belarussian titleholders since their first-night defeat by Real Madrid CF and was removed from the squad prior to the draw with Juventus on 30 September. "I consider him one of BATE's most promising players," said Goncharenko. "Unfortunately, he doesn't have the desire to develop his game. If someone does not work properly, and does that over a long period of time, I have to make radical decisions." Injury news • Vladimir Rzhevski – out since 5 November (ankle) • Aleksandr Ermakovich – out 9 August to 9 November (knee) • Rzhevski will not play again until 2009 after breaking his ankle against Zenit. International news • Belarus coach Bernd Stange decided to omit all BATE players from his squad ahead of the 2-1 friendly defeat in Cyprus on 19 November to give the champions more time to prepare for their fixtures against Madrid and Juventus. Miscellaneous • BATE have turned down the chance to take part in the Commonwealth Cup, an indoor friendly tournament staged in Moscow every January between the leading clubs of the former Soviet republics. Dinamo Minsk also declined so third-placed FC MTZ-RIPO Minsk will represent Belarus. • Igor Stasevich and Khagush recently participated in a charity project called Hurry To Make Good, visiting a mother of nine adopted children to present her with a television, a newspaper subscription and BATE souvenirs all paid for out of their own pockets. • Although Goncharenko's date of birth is widely quoted as 10 September 1977, he was born on 10 June 1977. The confusion arose after he lost his passport and, in the replacement, the official mistakenly entered 09 (September) as the month of his birth instead of 06 (June). • BATE play their home group games at the Dinamo Stadium in Minsk, 65km away from Borisov, as their usual home ground has a capacity of only 5,000. Real Madrid UEFA milestones • Mahamadou Diarra's next appearance in the UEFA Champions League will be his 50th. UEFA Champions League statistics • Madrid have had 39 shots wide so far, the joint highest total in the competition along with Manchester United FC. Disciplinary information • The injured Ruud van Nistelrooy will incur a suspension with his next yellow card.
