"Stone strikes again, Espanyol advance to the round of 32 of the League Cup", the Daily Sports newspaper reported on the Spaniards with this as the headline.

'Espanyol have carried their league form to the UEFA Cup, where they managed to reach the last 32 of the UEFA Cup one round early, but they need to continue to win in the final round to secure top of the group.

"It was another STONE victory, both Valverde and Ruby found the key to unlock the victory, and as long as Stone was on the pitch, he was the guarantee of victory. Although Stone was not involved in the first two goals, it was from set-pieces that he caused, and he scored the third himself. ”

Over the next two weeks, Rubi again led his team to two consecutive away games, winning 2-1 against Elche and 3-1 over Córdoba. Points are once again close to the Champions League zone.

It seems that the Spaniards have come out of the previous slump.

However, both teams are ranked first and second from the bottom, which does not mean anything.

In the final round of the UEFA Cup, Espanyol host Paris Saint-Germain in a game that will test them.

Valverde naturally attacked with all the team, and the team won 2-0 to win the group as desired, Manchester City was pressed second, and Paris Saint-Germain was third.

This is the end of the group stage of the UEFA Cup, with Espanyol and Valencia continuing their progress in the UEFA Cup for Spain.

After the top 32 comes out, the fight will start in February next year, and the real test has just begun.

At 12 o'clock on Friday, the draw for the round of 32 of the UEFA Cup took place in Nyon, Switzerland. Valverde travelled to Nyon, Switzerland, to take part in the draw, and he didn't have to direct the team for league games at the weekend......

The first is the draw of the Champions League teams, and everyone's eyes are basically on the Champions League, with Spain's four teams participating in the Champions League all entering the knockout rounds, namely Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and Villarreal. Occupying a quarter of the round of 16, La Liga teams are too strong.

On the other hand, in the League Cup, Deportivo La Coruna and Sevilla have all dropped the chain.

Except for Real Madrid, which was more miserable and drew Liverpool, the other three teams had good luck, Barcelona drew the declining Lyon, Atletico Madrid drew Porto, and Villarreal drew Panathinaikos.

After the Champions League group draw ceremony, UEFA quickly moved on to the next stage, which was the draw for the UEFA Cup.

According to the rules, the top 3 teams from the 8 groups in the group stage and the 3rd place teams from the 8 groups in the Champions League will compete in the knockout stage of the UEFA Cup. Among them, the first of the 8 UEFA Cup groups will be the third head of the 8 UEFA Cup groups, while the second of the 8 UEFA Cup groups will be the third head of the 8 groups of the Champions League. The knockout rounds will be played over two legs, home and away, with the first and second teams in the UEFA Cup group favourable fixtures on a favourable schedule.

The top 32 teams in the UEFA Cup are still very strong, especially the teams that have come down from the third place in the Champions League, which is a new round of impact on the original team.

As soon as the draw began, the drama of Mars hitting the Earth was immediately staged.

The first match is Milan vs Bremen. Milan, with Kaka, Pato and Ronaldinho, are the favourites to win the title, while Bremen have also been so strong over the years that such a collision is naturally very happy.

Then the last Confederations Cup champion Zenit was drawn to Stuttgart, and it was also a passionate matchup.

The matchup between Fiorentina, another strong team in Serie A, and Ajax, a Dutch giant, is also very eye-catching, and Wu Sanshi's old club is likely to not win against Fiorentina.

In the same group, Paris Saint-Germain and Bundesliga powerhouse Wolfsburg were drawn together.

In contrast, several teams in the Premier League have not faced very strong opponents, with Manchester City facing Denmark's FC Copenhagen, Aston Villa taking on Russia's CSKA Moscow and Tottenham facing Shakhtar Donetsk.

The name of the Spaniard has not yet come out, but it is clear that the opponent is getting weaker. With so many strong opponents missing, Valverde's face became more and more relaxed.

It shouldn't be so unlucky, right? Valverde feels his side is going to run out of luck.

Outcome......

"Espanyol vs Marseille."

My day!

Valverde almost scolded the street on the spot.

How did you get Marseille? Who is bad to smoke? Drawn to Marseille? What the hell is this luck......

Espanyol fans sitting in front of the TV also wondered if there was really no one to be lucky.

A disappointed Valverde was then interviewed by a reporter from the newspaper Asa at the gate.

"I drew a lot of unsatisfactory signings, but I don't have anything to complain about when you think Valencia drew Dynamo Kyiv, after all, our goal is clear."

"What is the team's goal?"

'Of course, the further we go, the better, we have had good luck in this cup, we have reached the final before, so we believe we can do it this year, too.'

"You want to win, don't you?"

"Why not?"

Valverde thought more, and when he thought of losing in the final that year, he was unwilling. He's not a manager who aims to lead the team to relegation, he wants to lead the team to more things. He is a young marshal and he wants to learn from Mourinho, who has become famous.

Of course, you have to have this life, and now you are playing Marseille. If you are not careful, you will go home, Marseille is not weak, and the Spaniards dare not say that they will be able to win Marseille.

But so what, if you want to win the championship, you have to cross it even if you meet Milan......

Wu Sanshi and Calekhon watched the lottery ceremony together in front of the TV, Callejon had already gotten out of bed and walked, and began physical recovery treatment, Wu Sanshi promised him.

The moment he drew Marseille, Callejon said: "God, this luck ......"

"You've got more than two months to go, you can catch up with the League Cup, we need you, I need you by my side."

"I've got to lose weight, lose weight, lose weight!"

"I've got to catch the League Cup, I've got to come back before this game!"

"First away and then home, we have to play away first, and that's an advantage for us."
