As is the case in UEFA Champions League where three English teams namely Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United are in the semi final, UEFA Cup can also see three Spanish teams in the semi final if result goes their way. All the three Spanish teams, Sevilla, Osasuna and Espanyol are leading in their first leg and all they need to do is to draw the game and they are through to the UEFA Cup semi final.

Champion Sevilla is leading 2-1 against Tottenham Hotspur at present but they will face a gruelling task against the spirited Spurs side playing at home. Likes of Berbatov, Defoe and Keane can make Sevilla sweat in their quest for victory. On the other hand, Osasuna has a much easier task against Bayer Leverkusen who is 3 goals behind after the first leg. Espanyol is also leading by one goal against Portuguese side Lisbon but have to play some brilliant football in Portugal to attain the semi final spot.
