UEFA cup - first round draw

The four Spanish sides now know their opponents for the first round of the UEFA cup after today's draw in Monaco. Intertoto cup winners Málaga start off their first ever European campaign with a tie against Bosnia's Zeljeznicar, who were knocked out of the Champions League by Newcastle. Celta Vigo have perhaps the most difficult draw, with a second leg trip to Denmark to play Odense. Alavés also have a tricky tie, against Turkish side Ankaragücü, and Betis should have no problems against Moldavia's FC Zimbru. (30.08.02)
