Zenit win the UEFA Cup ! | VIDEO
May 14, 2008
Zenit St. Petersburg is the new winner of the UEFA Cup. The Russians won the final against Glasgow Rangers 2-0 tonight and brought the cup back to Russia after 3 years. With the best striker of the competition suspended, the goals didn’t come as many as in theeir previous games, but Denisov 77′ and Zyrianov in the last minute made the difference in a game that was a bit one-sided. Rangers was the team with the best defence this year but the ambition of the Russians was too much for them
. Congratulations Zenit !
Bayern humiliated! Zenit - Bayern 4-0
May 1, 2008
Zenit St.Petersburg is in the UEFA Cup Final! The Russians humiliated Bayern Munich 4-0, and left the competition favorites in a state of disappointment. Zenit lost their top scorer Pogrebnyak, that scored two goals today, because of a yellow card received for a useless attack in the air against Lucio. They are now waiting for the other semi-final to end, so they could see who they will meet in the final, Fiorentina or Rangers. These are the highlights:
Rangers-Fiorentina 0-0 | VIDEO
April 25, 2008
Last night in Glasgow , Rangers and Fiorentina ended in a draw the Uefa Cup semi-final. It was a known fact that nobody scored there this season in the Uefa Cup, and although we were all expecting for Fiorentina to be the first, it looks like Rangers had a guardian angel as a goalkeeper
These are the few highlights :
Leverkusen didn’t make the miracle
April 10, 2008
Bayer Leverkusen won today in St.Petersburg 1-0 against the home team Zenit, but they leave the Uefa Cup
competition because of the 4-2 aggregate. Zenit hopes now to repeat the CSKA performance from 2005 when they won the competition. Leverkusen leaves Bayern Munich to be the only German team left in the European competitions who will have a tough match at Getafe
Zenit will play with the winner from the quarterfinal Getafe - Bayern (1-1 first leg on Allianz Arena).
First leg of the quarterfinals

Bayern - Getafe 1-1 (Toni 26′/ Contra 90′) -it looks like things aren’t so smooth for Bayern now
Fiorentina - PSV Eindhoven 1-1 (Mutu 56′/ Koevermans 63′ ) -a boring game in which the injury of Gomes was the notable thing
Glasgow Rangers - Sporting Lisbon 0-0 - Sporting starts favorite in their home game but anything is possible ![]()
