UEFA  Press information:

• The match is a 36,500 sell out and there is huge media interest.  No fewer than 23 TV stations have sent staff to Elland Road in order to provide live commentary from the stadium.

• Leeds United have never been beaten at Elland Road by Spanish opposition.  Howeverthree of their five matches have ended as 1-1 draws - in fact United have conceded one goal in each and every game.

• Although Real Madrid have met six differant English sides, this is the first direct confrontation between the two clubs.

• Leeds United are without Olivier Dacourt for this match.  His yellow card in Milan two weeks ago - the only one of the match - was his third during the current campaign and earned him a one-match ban.

• Eirik Bakke and Danny Mills are within one yellow card of an automatic one-match suspension.

• With Bridges, Kewell and Batty amongst the long-term injuries - along with Martyn and Duberry, and with Dacourt suspended , the midfield department is short- staffed.

• It means that Jason Wilcox who played a game for the reserve team last week, could be set to make his first UEFA Champions League appearance.

• The Leeds squad arranged to train behind closed doors at Elland Road on Tuesday morning and David O'Leary's pre-match press conferance is at 13:00 in the stadium.

• The financial rewards for success in the second group phase are the same as during the first group phase.  In other words, 500,000 Swiss francs per victory and 250,000 for a draw.
