Europa League, round of 32, second leg

Defending champions Atlético Madrid are out of the competition! Simeone's side put up a brave fight against Rubin Kazan in a freezing Moscow, running out 0-1 winners on the night thanks to a late strike from Falcao. However they will be ruing more than ever the silly goal they gave away in the last minute of the first leg which in the end cost them the tie. Levante will be relieved though at Atlético's demise, as otherwise they would have had to meet them in the next round. They will still be facing a long trip to play Rubin though after they knocked out Michel's Olympiacos 4-0 on aggregate. Martins got the only goal in tonight's 0-1 victory in Greece to at least keep the flag flying for Spain. (21.02.13)
