League Europe 2011 will end in the windows of a Portuguese team. Porto and Sporting Braga in the final will be measured in the semis after beating Villarreal and Benfica respectively. Interestingly, both Porto and Sporting Braga Europeans have been the killers this season from another Spanish side, Sevilla FC.
First, in August, left the group Braga then coached by Antonio Álvarez no possibility to dispute the group stage of the Champions League, winning in the preliminary stage 5-3 on aggregate. Later, in February this year, got off to Oporto in Europe Nervión in diecieseisavos League final. Nothing helped Sevilla win the minimum lusos Do Dragao since made good the 1-2 they got in the first leg at the Sanchez-Pizjuan.
These two sets, therefore, will face off in the final of a tournament, the Europa League, which premiered name last year when it was placed in the hands of Atletico Madrid . It is the eighth time that two teams from the same country contesting the final of this competition, the UEFA Cup before. The UEFA website offers an overview of each : Wolverhampton, Tottenham (1972), Borussia Mönchengladbach, Eintracht Frankfurt (1980), Juventus-Fiorentina (1990), Inter-Roma (1991), Parma-Juventus (1995), Inter-Lazio (1998) and Sevilla-Espanyol (2007).
With regard to the semifinals, could not be for Villarreal, which drew a hefty defeat for Portuguese territory, in Porto, the team led by Villas-Boas endorsed him a tough 5-1 tie that left the more than difficult to Garrido . However, Villarreal tried and advanced past the quarter hour with a goal from Cani, but Hulk (with the unwitting collaboration of Mussachio) and Falcao Castellon ended the dream about a relaxing break, just before and after. Capdevila and Rossi went around the marker (3-2) and the yellow team, at least, could bring victory to their fans. Too bad you can not fight for the title.
In the other semi-final match Portugal. Benfica Braga visited with the intention of maintaining a low income achieved in the field (2-1). However, the group led by Patience scored the goal that was missing almost midway through the first half through Custodio. Rather that the team did not respond the 'Rabbit' Saviola, who had the clearest choices in their boots in front of goal but missed, and that leads to Braga in the first continental final in its history.
