The draw for the next two rounds of the UEFA cup was made today, with a posibility of two all-Spanish quarter finals in the offing. Barcelona and Celta could meet if they both beat their next rivals, AEK Athens and Stuttgart respectively in their last 16 matches. Both play the first leg away. In the bottom half of the draw, Alavés got the most difficult pairing, playing their first leg match at home against Inter Milan, and Rayo Vallecano also start at home against Girondins Bordeaux. The winners of those two ties will meet in the quarter finals as well. (13.12.00)
