Los Che find themselves in a tough situation against Los Rojiblancos but still have a glimmer of hope to reach UEFA Europa League final.
Unai Emery’s men had their worst match of the 2011/12 campaign against Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Europa League semi-final first leg. The Northern club will have to give an assured display at the Mestalla to claim a final berth at the expense of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Diego-c11058 Pablo
Simeone’s charges.

the 4-2 score line.
Reflecting on the situation, assured gloves man, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vicente-Guaita-c36003, admitted that Los Che have a daunting task on their hands after suffering an unexpected result in Madrid.
However, the shot-stopper claimed Valencia still have a fighting chance of progressing to the final of the second tier club competition and believes the players will give their all on the pitch to realize the dream.
Guaita added that the hope of the Valencian Community lies on their shoulders and his colleagues are well aware of what is asked of them at this stage.
“We know it is going to be hard because we did not expect this result in the first leg," Guaita said.
"But we have a chance to go through, there are 90 minutes left and we will leave our souls on the pitch to reach the final.”
"We are very eager to play the game on Thursday. We know that we will have a lot of fans in the stands who will be supporting us until the very last minute, and we will try to go through because entering a final is the best thing there is."
Europa League remains the only competition where salvation lies for Unai Emery’s charges after being dumped out of the Copa del Rey by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 at the same stage. Win for Valencia will come as a boost after seeing a remarkable loss of form in the 2012 calendar
year.
