Match backgroundFC Shakhtar Donetsk and AS Roma have not enjoyed the best of times in the UEFA Champions League round of 16,but each have the opportunity to improve on that record when they meet in the first leg in Kharkiv.

• Shakhtar have lost two of their three last-16 ties – the sole exception their first appearance, a 6-2 aggregate winagainst Roma in the spring of 2011.

• Roma, who finished first in Group C this season, are in the round of 16 for the sixth time. However, they have notfeatured in the quarter-finals in a decade, and have lost their last three ties at this stage.

Previous meetings• Shakhtar recorded a comfortable victory against Roma when the teams met at this stage of the 2010/11 competition.First-half goals from Jádson (29), Douglas Costa (36) and Luiz Adriano (41) gave the Ukrainian side a 3-2 first-legvictory in Rome despite Razvan Raţ's own goal (28) and a Jérémy Ménez strike (61) for Roma.

• Mircea Lucescu's team completed the job back in Donetsk thanks to Willian's double (18, 58), either side of MarcoBorriello's 28th-minute penalty miss for the visitors, and a late Eduardo effort (87). Roma lost defender Philippe Mexèsto a second yellow card four minutes before half-time.

• The sides at the Donbass Arena on 8 March 2011 were:Shakhtar: Pyatov, Srna, Chygrynskiy, Rakitskiy, Raţ, Hübschman, Mkhitaryan (Alex Teixeira 67), Douglas Costa(Eduardo 60), Jádson, Willian, Luiz Adriano (Marcelo Moreno 75).Roma: Doni, Burdisso, Juan, Mexès, Riise, Taddei (Rosi 46), Pizarro, De Rossi, Perrotta (Caprari 86), Borriello,Vučinić (Brighi 65).

• Taras Stepanenko was an unused Shakhtar substitute in both legs.

• When the teams met in the 2006/07 UEFA Champions League group stage, Shakhtar won 1-0 at home thanks toCiprian Marica's 61st-minute goal.

• The teams in Donetsk on 22 November 2006 were:Shakhtar: Shust, Tymoshchuk, Kucher, Duljaj, Fernandinho (Gai 90), Brandão, Raţ, Chygrynskiy, Marica (Aghahowa75), Srna, Jádson (Elano 81).Roma: Doni, Panucci, Mancini (Vučinić 78), Cassetti, Mexès, De Rossi, Perrotta, Ferrari (Pizarro 69), Aquilani(Montella 78), Totti, Taddei.

• Roma were 4-0 victors in Italy, Rodrigo Taddei, Francesco Totti, Daniele De Rossi and David Pizarro all scoring inthe final 24 minutes.

Match backgroundShakhtar• Since that 2011 win against Roma, Shakhtar have lost on both their last-16 appearances: against BorussiaDortmund in 2012/13 (2-2 home, 0-3 away), FC Bayern München in 2014/15 (0-0 home, 0-7 away). The second-legloss to Bayern is their heaviest European defeat.

• The Ukrainian side are therefore unbeaten in their three home round of 16 games in the UEFA Champions League(W1 D2).

• The Donetsk side won all three of their home fixtures in Group G this season, beating SSC Napoli 2-1 on matchdayone and Feyenoord 3-1. Last time out they became the first side to beat section winners Manchester City FC thisseason, recording a 2-1 victory.

• Shakhtar's record at home to Italian clubs is W4 D0 L6.

• The Pitmen's record in two-legged knockout ties against Serie A clubs is W1 L3, with that 2010/11 defeat of Romatheir sole aggregate success.

• Shakhtar are playing their UEFA Champions League home games in Kharkiv this season due to the politicalsituation in Ukraine, and have won six of their last 14 home matches in the competition proper (D5 L3), group stage tofinal.

• Márcio Azevedo, Taison and Marlos all called the OSK Metalist Stadion home before joining Shakhtar from FCMetalist Kharkiv.

• In 2016/17, the Ukrainian team lost to BSC Young Boys in the third qualifying round (2-0 home, 0-2 away, 2-4 onpenalties). They eventually made it to the UEFA Europa League round of 32, going down to RC Celta de Vigo (1-0away, 0-2 home aet).

matches in Europe (W10 D2).

Roma• Roma's round of 16 record is W2 L3. They beat Olympique Lyonnais (2006/07) and Real Madrid CF (2007/08) intheir first two appearances, but have since lost to Arsenal FC (2008/09), Shakhtar (2010/11) and Madrid (2015/16).

His career really took off at Piacenza between 1995 and 1997, when he earned himself a move to Roma.Transformed into a midfielder by Zdeněk Zeman, he spent four seasons at the Stadio Olimpico, winning the 2000/01Scudetto although he played only five games that campaign.

• Having retired in 2005 after two more seasons at Piacenza and spells with Ancona and Perugia, Di Francesco – whowon 12 caps for Italy – spent a year as a Roma director but the lure of coaching proved strong; that new venturebegan in his native Abruzzo, first with a brief stint at Lanciano before two campaigns with Pescara.

• Was appointed Lecce coach ahead of 2011/12 for his first Serie A experience, though it proved brief as DiFrancesco was sacked after just 13 matches with his side bottom of the table.

• Dropped back into Serie B the following season; a huge Zeman fan, Di Francesco – named after Portuguese legendEusébio – had a brilliant start with Sassuolo using his mentor's 4-3-3 system and led the team from the Modena areainto Serie A for the first time.

• Di Francesco, whose son Federico plays as a winger for Bologna, coached Sassuolo in Serie A for four consecutivecampaigns, although the first featured a short interruption as he was replaced for five games by Alberto Malesani, onlyto return and help the side avoid relegation. Known for his entertaining attacking football, Di Francesco steeredSassuolo to a first UEFA Europa League qualification by finishing sixth in Serie A in 2015/16 before replacing LucianoSpalletti as Roma coach in June 2017.

Competition factsUEFA Champions League knockout stage: Did you know?• Teams have overturned a first-leg deficit to go through 40 times, including FC Barcelona, Borussia Dortmund,Leicester City FC and AS Monaco FC in the 2016/17 round of 16. Only twice – AFC Ajax's defeat of Panathinaikos FCin the 1995/96 semi-finals and FC Internazionale Milano's victory against FC Bayern München in the 2010/11 round of16 – has a side progressed after a home first-leg loss.

• The biggest losing margin a side has overhauled was achieved by FC Barcelona against Paris Saint-Germain in the2016/17 last 16, when they lost 4-0 away but progressed thanks to a 6-1 home success. That eclipsed the previousrecord held by RC Deportivo La Coruña in the 2003/04 quarter-finals, when they went down 4-1 at AC Milan but won4-0 at home.

• Twenty-eight ties have been decided on away goals, including nine where the triumphant team lost the first leg.

• In all, 28 ties have required extra time. Twelve have been settled by extra time alone: five round of 16 encounters,five quarter-finals including Real Madrid CF-FC Bayern München in 2016/17, the 2007/08 semi-final between Chelseaand Liverpool FC, and the 2013/14 final.

• Sixteen ties have gone to penalties, including seven finals – 1996, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2008, 2012 and 2016. The firsttwo-legged tie decided on spot kicks was PSV Eindhoven's 4-2 victory over Olympique Lyonnais on 13 April 2005after a 2-2 aggregate draw, still the only quarter-final to go to penalties.

• The 2015/16 round of 16 tie between Club Atlético de Madrid and PSV was the first to finish goalless after two legs.Thirteen have finished 1-0 on aggregate, most recently Real Madrid CF's defeat of Manchester City FC in the 2015/16semi-finals.

• Liverpool FC won 5-0 at FC Porto in the 2017/18 round of 16, equalling the knockout phase record for the biggestfirst-leg lead – Real Madrid's 6-1 victory at FC Schalke 04 in 2013/14 and Bayern's 5-0 success at Sporting Clube dePortugal in 2008/09, both also in the round of 16. Bayern eventually went through 12-1 after a 7-1 stroll in the homesecond leg; that tie also featured more goals (13) over its two legs than any UEFA Champions League knockout tie.

• Bayern hold the record for the largest margin of victory in a UEFA Champions League knockout match havingbeaten both FC Basel 1893 (2011/12) and FC Shakhtar Donetsk (2014/15) 7-0 in the round of 16 second leg.

• Clarence Seedorf is the only player to lift the European Cup with three clubs (Ajax 1995, Real Madrid 1998, Milan2003, 2007). Bob Paisley (Liverpool 1977, 1978, 1981) was the first coach to win three times, a feat Carlo Ancelotti(Milan 2003, 2007, Real Madrid 2014) replicated.

• In 2014 Ancelotti also became the fifth coach to win the trophy with two clubs; Ottmar Hitzfeld (Borussia Dortmund1997, Bayern 2001), Ernst Happel (Feyenoord 1970, Hamburger SV 1983), José Mourinho (FC Porto 2004,Internazionale 2010) and Jupp Heynckes (Real Madrid 1998, Bayern 2013) had previously achieved the feat.

• In 2016/17 Real Madrid became the first team to successfully defend the UEFA Champions League trophy, withMilan (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 finalas holders only to lose.

• Only two sides have ever won the UEFA Champions League on home soil: Dortmund (1997, final in Munich) andJuventus (1996, final in Rome). Manchester United lost the 2011 final in London and 12 months later Bayern werebeaten in the showpiece in their own stadium, the Fußball Arena München.

UEFA Champions League: Did you know?• Lionel Messi became the first player to score five goals in a match in FC Barcelona's 7-1 triumph against Bayer 04Leverkusen on 7 March 2012, a feat reproduced by FC Shakhtar Donetsk's Luiz Adriano at FC BATE Borisov on 21October 2014. Eleven more players, also including Messi, have scored four times in a game, most recently CristianoRonaldo for Real Madrid on matchday six in 2015/16.

• Cristiano Ronaldo set a new record for a UEFA Champions League group stage with 11 goals in 2015/16, eclipsinghis own mark of nine goals in 2013/14, which Luiz Adriano matched in 2014/15 and Ronaldo himself equalled in2017/18. Lionel Messi got ten goals in 2016/17; Zlatan Ibrahimović (2013/14), Ruud van Nistelrooy (2004/05), FilippoInzaghi and Hernán Crespo (both 2002/03) managed eight.

• Messi's hat-trick against Manchester City FC on matchday three of the 2016/17 competition was his seventh in thecompetition, a record Ronaldo matched against Club Atlético de Madrid in the 2016/17 semi-finals.

• SS Lazio goalkeeper Marco Ballotta is the oldest player to compete at this level, having been aged 43 years and 252

18


days when he figured against Madrid on matchday six of the 2007/08 edition.
