Spain's Champions League sides may have all been successful this week, but not so their Europa League teams. Only defending champions Atlético Madrid managed to win, and it took an injury time strike from Cristian "Cebolla" Rodríguez to give them a 1-0 victory over Viktoria Plsen. Earlier in the evening Athletic Bilbao were comfortably beaten 3-1 by Sparta Prague, leaving the Basques down at the bottom of their group. And Levante lost 2-1 at Hannover, despite taking the lead with an early Michel penalty and playing against ten men for most of the match. (04.10.12)
