David Villa is about as happy with his Europa League draw as I am with the Champions League draw - Bayern vs. Man U, Arsenal vs. Barcelona in the quarterfinals come one and two French Ligue 1 teams playing each other - complete joke.Anyway Villa and his Valencia boys have to play fellow La Liga club Atletico Madrid in their Europa quarterfinal match. The other games that will take place on April 1 and April 8, Fulham v. Wolfsburg, Hamburg v. Standard Liege, and Benefica v. Liverpool.
The semifinals will pit the winners of Hamburg/Standard Liege v. Fulham/Wolfsburg and Valencia/Atletico Madrid v. Benefica/Liverpool. Some big clubs and big players are out there, and perhaps now that Clint Dempsey is healthy he can help Fulham continue their dream run in European action - they face a tough test in Grafite's Wolfsburg team, who won the Bundesliga just a season ago.
