Lyon vs H. Tel-Aviv Live Stream

Watch Lyon vs H. Tel-Aviv live stream match direct from Stade de Gerland, Lyon (FRA) on December 7, 2010. Olympique Lyonnais have qualified from Group B despite consecutive away defeats and will be looking to get back to winning ways against Hapoel Tel-Aviv FC, who earned a famous win last time out.

Olympique Lyonnais are through to the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League yet again despite successive away defeats and the French side will look to build on their impressive home form as they conclude their Group B campaign against Hapoel Tel-Aviv FC, who are still in contention for a UEFA Europa League berth.

Lyon won their two previous home games without conceding a goal while Hapoel have lost their two away matches. The Israeli champions will be buoyed by their 3-0 defeat of SL Benfica on Matchday 5, however, their first win in the UEFA Champions League proper, and a second victory would secure third place should the Portuguese team fail to win at home to section leaders FC Schalke 04.

Lyon are a point behind Schalke and need to beat Hapoel to have a chance of finishing first; even three points would not be enough if the German club prevail in Lisbon.

Bremen vs Internazionale Live Stream

Watch Bremen vs Internazionale live stream match direct from Weserstadion, Bremen (GER) on December 7, 2010. SV Werder Bremen end their unhappy UEFA Champions League campaign at home to an FC Internazionale Milano side looking to scramble to the Group A summit on Matchday 6.

FC Internazionale Milano may have secured qualification for the knockout stages but they will not be short on motivation when they visit SV Werder Bremen for their final Group A game.

The UEFA Champions League holders booked their last-16 place by beating FC Twente last time out. However, they remain second behind Tottenham Hotspur FC, by virtue of their rivals' head-to-head superiority, and need to better the London club's result at Twente if they are to advance as group winners.

Bremen's defeat at Spurs on Matchday 5 consigned them to last place, meaning that for the first time since 2004 there will be no European football after Christmas for the Bundesliga club.

Watch Auxerre vs Milan Live Stream

Watch Auxerre vs Milan Live Stream on November 23, 2010. After getting their first win on Matchday 4, AJ Auxerre are looking to turn that change of fortune into a full-scale revival although second-placed AC Milan also have the last 16 in their sights.





After finally getting off the mark with a Matchday 4 win against AFC Ajax, AJ Auxerre will look to turn that change of fortune 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 would overtake the Rossoneri if they avenge their 2-0 defeat at San Siro in September. Yet equally Milan, held by Real Madrid 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.

Spartak Moskva vs Marseille Live Stream

Watch Spartak Moskva vs Marseille Live Stream on November 23, 2010. Having lost their last two games, FC Spartak Moskva are aiming to revive their Group F challenge against an Olympique de Marseille side who broke a UEFA Champions League record on Matchday 4.





FC Spartak Moskva started Group F with two victories but home and away defeats by section leaders Chelsea FC have dented their hopes of progressing – and now they face an Olympique de Marseille team who set a new UEFA Champions League record on Matchday 4.

• Spartak created a little bit of history in September as a late own goal by Marseille defender César Azpilicueta gave the Russian side their first win on French soil at the 11th attempt.

• Marseille then lost to Chelsea but kick-started their campaign with victory against MŠK Žilina on Matchday 3 and in the reverse fixture ran in seven goals without reply in Slovakia. The 7-0 margin was the biggest away victory in the UEFA Champions League; indeed only Manchester United FC, with a 6-2 triumph at Brøndby IF in 1998/99, had previously scored six goals away from home.

Previous meetings
• These sides met in the 1990/91 European Champion Clubs' Cup semi-finals when Marseille seized the initiative with a 3-1 win in Russia, subsequently recording a 2-1 home victory. Spartak coach Valeri Karpin played in both games for the Moscow club.

• Marseille beat Spartak in the 2007/08 UEFA Cup round of 32 despite a 2-0 second-leg reverse in Moscow. The French team's 3-0 home win – Benoît Cheyrou and Taye Taiwo both on target – took them through.

• The teams for the second leg in Moscow on 21 February 2008 were:
Spartak: Pletikosa, Stranzl, Kudryashov, Kováč, Maidana, Mozart, Pavlenko (Prudnikov 83), Parshivlyuk (Dedura 89), Pavlyuchenko, Titov (Bystrov 76), Welliton (Dzuba 72).
Marseille: Mandanda, Bonnart, Taiwo, Givet, Kaboré (Oruma 9), M'Bami, Cana, Nasri (Zenden 60), Valbuena, Cissé, Niang (Ziani 79).

• Marseille's hopes were ended in the next round by another Russian outfit, a 3-1 home win against FC Zenit St Petersburg undone by a 2-0 second-leg defeat. Zenit went on to lift the trophy.

• Marseille have lost only two of their six matches in Russia, winning two – the other was a 2-1 triumph at PFC CSKA Moskva in the 2005/06 UEFA Cup group stage.

• Spartak's 2007/08 win against Marseille was just their second home win against Ligue 1 opponents in their ninth fixture, four of which ended in defeat.

Match background
• Spartak were 3-0 home winners against Žilina on Matchday 2, Ari scoring twice. It was their first UEFA Champions League group stage win at the Luzhniki Stadion since a 4-1 defeat of Arsenal FC on 22 November 2000.

• They were unable to repeat the feat in their next game as Chelsea marked their return to the ground where they lost the 2008 final with a 2-0 win. Spartak then went down 4-1 in west London, although Nikita Bazhenov did have the consolation of scoring the first goal Chelsea had conceded in 956 minutes at Stamford Bridge.

• Marseille were beaten 2-0 at Chelsea on Matchday 2, before collecting their first points – and goal – when Souleymane Diawara's second-half winner saw off Žilina's challenge.

• The Stamford Bridge defeat meant OM had lost seven of their last nine away games in the UEFA Champions League proper before Matchday 4. Didier Deschamps' side improved their record in spectacular fashion, however, André-Pierre Gignac scoring three times and Lucho González twice in that record-breaking victory at Žilina.

Team ties
• The opposing coaches were both involved when France and Russia were drawn in the same qualifying group for UEFA EURO 2000. The away team won both games 3-2, Karpin scoring the winning goal in Paris on 5 June 1999. Deschamps and Karpin were in the starting lineups for those matches, Russia's home fixture taking place in Moscow on 10 October 1998.

• Deschamps and Karpin both had one-year spells with Valencia CF, the latter in 1996/97 and Deschamps in 2000/01.

• Deschamps' first European game came for FC Nantes against Spartak in the 1985/86 UEFA Cup third round.

• OM goalkeeper Elinton Andrade and Spartak midfielder Ibson both played for CR Flamengo in 2003. Watch Here:

UEFA technician holds up Spanish example

The new-look UEFA technician has a Spanish flavour with the latest issue of UEFA's coaching publication looking at that country's success in fusing technical and positive human qualities.

UEFA's regular newsletter for coaches is back – with a new look and a new identity as part of UEFA's official monthly publication UEFA•direct.

Previously known as The Technician, issue 47 of the coaching newsletter appears as a 12-page supplement, the UEFA•technician, within the larger publication. The focus, as ever, is on technical developments in European club and national-team football.

In his editorial column, UEFA technical director Andy Roxburgh comments on the human qualities that have underpinned this successful generation of Spanish footballers. Spain not only served up technically superb football in winning the last FIFA World Cup, they also offered a valuable lesson in humility – based on the down-to-earth attitude and work ethics of players and management.

This emphasis on striking a balance between technical achievement and positive behaviour is typical of the work being done at the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), the technical director writes. "Of course players need an ego, a determination to be the best they can be, but this must not be confused with the negative face of egotism."

The Iberian theme continues with a four-page interview with Spain coach Vicente del Bosque, who in July added the world title to the two European crowns he won in charge of Real Madrid CF. In the interview Del Bosque speaks in depth about the Spaniards' South African campaign, while also citing his own professional influences, the value he places on man-management and the differences between club and national-team coaching.

Del Bosque even opens the door to the Spanish dressing room when he says: "Good harmony and team spirit isn't just about winning games – it has to be something that remains independent of results. My squad in South Africa was a group of 23 excellent players and excellent people who made the 50 days together a very pleasant experience."

Given Spain's current hegemony it was appropriate that their federation hosted the latest UEFA Conference for European National Team Coaches, staged in Madrid between Monday 20 and Wednesday 23 September. The UEFA•technician carries a four-page report on the conference, which brought together technical staff from all 53 UEFA member associations and provided a platform for notable practitioners like the Netherlands' Bert van Marwijk and Germany's Joachim Löw.

Naturally many of the talking points came from the World Cup, and again due reference was made to the human qualities that helped Spain fulfil their footballing potential. It fell to RFEF sports director Fernando Hierro and technical director Ginés Meléndez to divulge the philosophy and principles behind the Spanish success story. More importantly though the conference was an occasion for examining the playing and coaching trends that emerged at the World Cup.

Similar discussions had taken place at the UEFA Elite Club Coaches Forum in Nyon on 1 and 2 September, where 17 top coaches gathered to talk football and exchange views with UEFA's president Michel Platini, general secretary Gianni Infantino, competitions director Giorgio Marchetti, and Andy Roxburgh.

The aim of the annual forum, the UEFA•technician inform us, was to review the past season in the UEFA club competitions while analysing developments in the game as observed in the standard-setting UEFA Champions League and at the subsequent World Cup. As well as being an opportunity to appraise shifting patterns in the way elite football is played, the forum was a chance for leading club coaches to broach such varied topics as the away-goals rule, playing surfaces, the international calendar and the experiment with two additional assistant referees.

The UEFA•technician also pays tribute to each of the coaches who guided their teams to finals in the UEFA and FIFA tournaments that were concluded during the spring and summer – from the World Cup and UEFA Champions League to the UEFA European Under-17 Championships for boys and girls. A true roll of honour.
