Less than a week after Getafe's gut-wrenching defeat to Bayern Munich in the UEFA Cup quarterfinals--in which the Spanish Cinderella side were within a minute (give or take) of taking down the German giants not once, but TWICE--they had a chance at redemption in the Spanish domestic cup final (aka Copa del Rey).

Getafe faced Valencia with a UEFA Cup spot next season on the line. Sadly this was not to be Getafe's day either: they fell behind 2 early goals, though pulled one back with a penalty just before the half. But a late header by sub Fernando Morientes sealed it for Valencia, who secured the domestic cup and UEFA Cup birth with a 3-1 victory.

And how was Valencia coach Ronald Koeman rewarded for this impressive achievement? The team fired him a few days later! Granted Valencia's La Liga form left a lot to be desired, as the team currently stands 4 points above the relegation zone with 4 games to go. Koeman also did not make many friends in Spain by ostracizing several of Valencia's most popular players, David Albelda, Santiago Canizares, and Miguel Angel Angulo. Within the first few days of taking over, new appointee Salvador "Voro" Gonzalez reinstated all three. The soccer soap opera continues...

Meanwhile Getafe have yet another tough battle ahead, as they are also just 4 points removed from relegation. Here's hoping they can pull it together and salvage a season they should be very proud of. In the meantime, enjoy the Champs League and UEFA Cup semifinals this week!!

Scott and Bill relive all the drama (and there was a lot!) from the Getafe-Munich UEFA Cup quarterfinal, the Liverpool-Arsenal Champs League quarterfinal, and more.

Plus, how the semis shape up in both competitions. Will Liverpool have Chelsea's number again? How about the Rangers-Fiorentina UEFA Cup matchup?
