Schalke gave no option in 2005-06. The adventure led Espanyol to Teplice, Lokomotiv, Palermo, Brondby and Maccabi Petah Tikva.

If normally a participation in the UEFA Cup tasted like glory, this one of the 2005-06 season contained a bittersweet taste at first, as Espanyol had remained a poorly annulled goal of entering the Champions League. But, in the end, the trip was pleasant, pleasant, until the parakeets ran into another German ogre, as in 1988.

The adventure began in Teplice, Czech Republic, with a 1-1 (Luis García), which began to be fixed from the entrance, at the time of the game, of De la Peña. In the return, the protagonist was Gorka Iraizoz, who kept the goal to zero until Fredson and Jofre, in the 80 'and 91' established the final 2-0 with which to access the group of groups.

I was expecting a trip to Russia first, to the Moscow Lokomotiv, on Tamudo's birthday, October 19. And he logically scored the 0-1. He visited Montjuïc in Palermo, against whom Moisés Hurtado saved the furniture in the 91st minute (1-1). Identical result in Denmark against the Brondby of Laudrup, with so many of Tamudo and again of Moses, but in own goal. And 1-0 at home, goal of Pochettino, against the Maccabi Petah Tikva Israeli, before only 5,510 spectators.

And the sixteenth round came, in which the opponent everyone wanted to avoid played, a Schalke 04 that already won at home 2-1 (Luis García for Espanyol) and that would not give any option of comeback in the Olympic Stadium, with a result, in addition to dramatic blue and white memory: 0-3. It was to be saved in LaLiga. And conquer the Cup.
