* Real striker Raul is in position to equal or beat German forward Gerd Mueller's 32-year-old record of 66 goals in the three main European club competitions - the European Cup/Champions League, Cup Winners Cup and UEFA Cup/Fairs Cup. Raul's goal in the 5-2 win over Zurich two weeks ago brought his tally to 65, all in the Champions League.
* Surprisingly, Real have lost three of their last five CL home games and failed to win in Madrid in either of their last two games against French clubs, drawing twice with Lyon in the group stage in the 2005-06 and 2006-07 seasons.
* Marseille have lost their last three European games and eight of their last 10 Champions League matches.
* Marseille have lost on both of their previous visits to Madrid, going down 2-1 to Atletico in last season's group stage and 4-2 to Real six years ago.
