Match backgroundAfter finally getting off the mark with a Matchday 4 win against AFC Ajax, AJ Auxerre will look to turn that change offortune into a full-scale revival when they welcome AC Milan to Stade Abbé-Deschamps.

• Only two points separate second-placed Milan from their hosts, who are bottom of Group G, meaning Auxerre wouldovertake the Rossoneri if they avenge their 2-0 defeat at San Siro in September. Yet equally Milan, held by RealMadrid CF last time out, would finish Matchday 5 with a ticket to the last 16 – and confirm Auxerre's elimination –should they win and Ajax lose to Madrid in the section's other fixture.

Previous meetings• The clubs first met in a UEFA Cup first round tie in 1985/86. Auxerre came from a goal down to win 3-1 in Franceas Paolo Maldini, then 17, made his European debut but the Rossoneri turned the contest around at San Siro with a3-0 triumph. Pietro Virdis sealed victory seven minutes from time with his third goal over the two games.

Match background• Auxerre have recorded two wins out of three at home in this season's UEFA Champions League, sandwiching adefeat by Real Madrid with victories against FC Zenit St. Petersburg – 2-0 in the play-offs – and Ajax.

• Auxerre's most recent home game against Serie A opposition brought a 1-0 reverse against AS Livorno Calcio inthe 2006/07 UEFA Cup group stage, a result which eliminated them from the competition.

• That was the third time the visit of an Italian team had precipitated their exit from Europe. Twice in the UEFA Cupquarter-finals they saw their hopes disappear at Stade Abbé-Deschamps: a 2-2 draw with an S.S. Lazio side includingAlessandro Nesta confirmed a 3-2 overall loss in 1997/98, while a 1-0 reverse against ACF Fiorentina knocked themout 2-0 on aggregate in 1989/90.

• Massimiliano Allegri's visitors are hoping to book their place in the last 16 for the ninth time in the last 11 seasons.They last fell at this stage of the competition in 1999/2000.

• Milan last visited France for a 2-1 win at Olympique de Marseille on Matchday 1 of last season's UEFA ChampionsLeague, Filippo Inzaghi scoring both their goals. Their overall record in France is W3 D3 L4.

Team ties• Auxerre coach Jean Fernandez was assistant to Raymond Goethals when he led Marseille to victory against Milanin the 1993 UEFA Champions League final. He was also part of OM's coaching team when they defeated Milan inthe quarter-finals in 1991 – the Rossoneri losing the second leg 1-0 at Stade Vélodrome on their first visit to France.

• Auxerre skipper Benoît Pedretti featured in Olympique Lyonnais' 2005/06 UEFA Champions League quarter-finaldefeat by Milan. He started the goalless first leg but was an unused substitute at San Siro where Lyon lost 3-1. Healso appeared in that stadium for FC Sochaux-Montbéliard in a goalless UEFA Cup last-16 draw at FC InternazionaleMilano in 2003/04, a result that eliminated his side on away goals.

• Anthony Le Tallec appeared in both legs of Liverpool FC's 2004/05 UEFA Champions League quarter-final againstJuventus but played no part in the final against Milan in Istanbul.

• Flavio Roma played 203 Ligue 1 games for AS Monaco FC between 2001 and 2009, appearing in the 2004 UEFAChampions League final.

• Milan's French international Mathieu Flamini has spent only one season in Ligue 1, with Marseille in 2003/04. He isa former Under-21 team-mate of Le Tallec.

• Ronaldinho played for Paris Saint-Germain FC from 2001 to 2003 and finished on the losing side against Auxerrein the 2003 French Cup final.

• Robinho made his UEFA Champions League debut for Real Madrid in September 2005 in a 3-0 defeat by a Lyonside including Jérémy Berthod.

Competition facts• UEFA Champions League: Group stage milestones

Holders FC Internazionale Milano are looking to avoid becoming the first defending champions to fail to get througha group stage since the UEFA Champions League began. (This record, like the others, includes the seasons between1999/2000 and 2002/03 that featured a second group stage).

In 1992/93, FC Barcelona were the reigning European Champion Clubs' Cup holders and were beaten 4-3 on aggregatein the second round by PFC CSKA Moskva.

S.S. Lazio goalkeeper Marco Ballotta became the oldest player to compete in the UEFA Champions League in 2007/08when he featured against Olympiacos FC on Matchday 1 at the age of 43 years and 168 days. The record waspreviously held by Alessandro Costacurta, the AC Milan defender who played against AEK Athens FC in 2006/07 atthe age of 40 years and 211 days. Ballotta was aged 43 years 252 days when he featured against Real Madrid CFon Matchday 6.

Javier Zanetti is the oldest player to score in the competition, aged 37 years and 72 days, having found the net forFC Internazionale Milano in their 4-3 defeat of Tottenham Hotspur FC on 20 October 2010.

Celestine Babayaro is the youngest player to have appeared in the UEFA Champions League. He was 16 years and87 days when he started for RSC Anderlecht against FC Steaua Bucureşti on 23 November 1994. He was then sentoff in the 37th minute.

Peter Ofori-Quaye is the youngest player to have scored in the UEFA Champions League, aged 17 years and 195days. He found the net in Olympiacos FC's 5-1 defeat at Rosenborg BK on 1 October 1997.

Barcelona and Manchester United have both finished as group winners on 11 occasions, one more than Milan andReal Madrid.

Four teams have recorded six successive victories in a UEFA Champions League group stage: Milan (1992/93), ParisSaint-Germain FC (1994/95), FC Spartak Moskva (1995/96) and Barcelona (2002/03, first group stage).

Ten teams have gone through a UEFA Champions League group stage without picking up a single point, includingMaccabi Haifa FC and Debreceni VSC in 2009/10. The other eight are: FC Dynamo Kyiv (2007/08), PFC Levski Sofia(2006/07), SK Rapid Wien (2005/06), RSC Anderlecht (2004/05), FC Spartak Moskva and Bayer 04 Leverkusen(2002/03, first and second group stage respectively), Fenerbahçe SK (2001/02, first group stage) and 1. FC Košice(1997/98).

Manchester United scored 20 goals in the 1998/99 group stage, more than any other side has managed. Barcelonascored 19 times in the 1999/2000 first group stage.

Debrecen conceded 19 goals in their six outings in 2009/10, equalling the record let in during a group stage set byDynamo Kyiv (2007/08) and Ferencvárosi TC in 1995/96.

No team has ever gone through a UEFA Champions League group stage without conceding a goal. Milan (1992/93),AFC Ajax (1995/96), Juventus (1996/97 and 2004/05), Chelsea FC (2005/06), Liverpool FC (2005/06) and VillarrealCF (2005/06) all let in just one.

Before their 3-1 win against Sporting Clube de Portugal on Matchday 6 of the 2006/07 campaign, FC Spartak Moskvawent 22 games without a victory in the competition, surpassing the unwanted record set by AEK Athens FC onMatchday 3 of the same campaign.

The lowest total for a team qualifying from the group stage is seven points. The first to do it, since three points for awin was introduced in 1995/96, were Legia Warszawa that same season before FC Dynamo Kyiv and Bayer Leverkusenmanaged it in 1999/2000 and Liverpool in 2001/02. FC Lokomotiv Moskva and eventual finalists Juventus bothprogressed with seven points in 2002/03, a feat achieved by Rangers FC and SV Werder Bremen in 2005/06.
