재밌는 AFC 챔피언스리그 사실들...

AFC 홈페이지에서 심심파적 삼아 준결 2차전 미디어 키트 보고 있는데 재밌는 얘기들이 많네요.    Al Ittihad of Saudi Arabia are the only team to have won two AFC Champions League titles so far. They claimed the 2004 crown after a 6-3 aggregate victory against Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma of Korea Republic and retained the title with a 5-3 aggregate victory against Al Ain the following year.   알이티하드가 유일하게 두번 우승한 팀이라는 걸 알려주면서 성남을 6-3으로 물리쳤다는 참혹한(?) 사실을 알려주는군요.    Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors of Korea Republic were crowned champions of Asia in 2006 despite having never previously won their domestic league title.   전북은 2006년에 리그 챔피언 한번 하지 못한 상태로 아시아 챔피언이 되었다고~ (대단한 success~) 물론 지금은 아니지만요.    Urawa Reds of Japan took the title in 2007, beating Iranian side Sepahan 3-1 on aggregate in the final. The J.League side did not lose a game during their run to their title, winning five matches and drawing the other seven.  Gamba Osaka were also unbeaten when they claimed the AFC Champions League title in 2008. The Japanese club won nine of 12 games, including all six of their away matches, and thumped Adelaide United of Australia 5-0 on aggregate in the final. They also enjoyed a record 19-match unbeaten run in the competition that was ended by a 2-1 defeat to FC Seoul in the group stage in 2009.   우라와 레즈와 감바 오사카는 각각 2007, 2008 시즌 ACL 우승하면서 무패로 우승했다네요. 감바는 다음해인 2009시즌까지 19경기 무패 행진을 이어갔지만 FC서울에 덜미가 잡혔다고..ㅋ (서울 굿 잡~~yo!)    Pohang Steelers became the first team to win both the AFC Champions League and Asian Club Championship with a 2-1 victory over Al Ittihad in the 2009 final in Tokyo. Having won back-to-back Asian Club Championships in 1997 and 1998, they are also the first side to be crowned Asian club champions on three occasions.   포항 스틸러스는 아시아클럽챔피언십과 챔피언스리그를 모두 우승해본 첫번째 팀이라고 하네용. 글고 최초로 아시아 클럽대회 3회 우승을 기록한 팀이기도 하구요.    Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma became the second team after Pohang to win both the Asian Club Championship and AFC Champions League when they beat Zobahan of Iran 3-1 in Tokyo to win the 2010 tournament. They won the 1995 Asian Club Championship and 1996 Asian Super Cup when the club was known as Ilhwa Chunma.   성남은 포항에 이어 두 대회를 우승해본 두번째 팀이네요.    Seongnam coach Shin Tae-yong became the first person to win Asia’s top club prize as both a player and a coach. He captained the 1995 side, which beat Saudi Arabia’s Al Nassr 1-0 in the final in Riyadh.   성남의 신태용 감독은 최초로 선수와 감독으로 아시아 챔피언을 경험한 사람이라고,,,    Korea Republic are the most successful country in the AFC Champions League with three champions – Jeonbuk Motors (2006), Pohang Steelers (2009) and Seongnam Chunma (2010). Japan (Urawa Reds 2007 and Gamba Osaka 2008) and Saudi Arabia (Al Ittihad 2004 and 2005) have each won the competition twice and the United Arab Emirates (Al Ain 2003) are the only other country to have produced a champion.   한국이 ACL 3회 우승으로 최다 우승국이라고 합니다. (K리그 팬으로서 자부심 돋는,,,)    The AFC Champions League final has never gone to extra-time or penalties. However, it nearly happened in 2006 when Jeonbuk Motors and Al Karama were tied 2-2 on aggregate before Jeonbuk striker Ze Carlos netted the winning goal for the Korean side four minutes from time in the second leg.   오랜만에 보는 제칼로의 이름도 볼 수 있네요.    Seongnam’s loss to Jeonbuk Motors in the 2010 K-League Championship play-offs meant that they failed to qualify for the 2011 AFC Champions League. They are the first reigning champions not to qualify for the tournament the following season.   성남이 작년 플옵에서 전북에 패하면서 전년도 우승팀이 ACL에 최초로 출전하지 못한 팀이 되었다는 영광아닌 영광을....
