UEFA Cup approaching group stage
https://www.ipn.md/en/uefa-cup-approaching-group-stage-7967_971878.html
The return leg of the last UEFA Cup qualification round took place on Thursday, October 2, sending 40 clubs like AC Milan, Valencia and Aston Villa into the next stage.
All the Romanian teams that qualified for the UEFA Cup were eliminated from the competition. Ukraine's Metalist Harkov, the current club of Moldovan Vitalie Bordian, offered a big surprise easing past Besiktas Istanbul on an aggregate 5:2.
Borussia Dortmund, the 1997 Champions League winner, was eliminated by Udinese 4-3 on penalty kicks, but Hamburg, Stuttgart, Schalke and Wolfsburg will form a strong German representation.
Four Spanish teams - 2006 and '07 champion Sevilla, league leader Valencia, Real Santander and Deportivo La Coruna - also marched into the next phase.
England and Italy will each have three teams among the 40 in Tuesday's draw.
