Deportivo were La Liga champions in Spain and midfielder Victor was clearly pleased with the quarter final draw.  He said: "I suppose you have to give them some credit for putting out Barcelona and qualifying alongside Madrid, but we were very pleased when we heard Leeds would be our next opponents.  They are the weakest team in the competition and when you compare them to the other sides we've got the easiest draw." Leeds United’s Norwegian international Eirik Bakke was annoyed at the outburst and hit back saying: "Victor can say what he likes. We know we are not the weakest team left in the competition.  He is only saying what Lazio, AC Milan and all those teams said about us, and look where they are now - out of the tournament.  I have seen Deportivo on television a couple of times and they are very strong, but we have beaten better teams than them earlier in the competition.  They won the Spanish League last season but we know we can beat them over two legs, that's for sure.”

Following previous results in the competition with wins over the likes of AC Milan and Lazio, Leeds midfielder David Batty tried to be realistic.  "We've upset a few big teams on the way so I hope fans don't now expect too much and think that we can walk through to the semis.  We may not have one of the bigger name teams in Deportivo, but as we've shown, it's against teams like that you can end up on your backside.  They are a skilful team and against teams like that if you give the ball away you never get it back.  We will have to be at our best, but we are really confident at the moment so we fancy our chances against anyone at the moment.  We've come a long way since we were well beaten at Barcelona, and now we have nothing to lose and can look forward to these two games."

Leeds United survived a 90-minute battering and squeezed into the semi-finals of the Champions League on Tuesday despite losing 2-0 to Spanish champions Deportivo La Coruna. David O'Leary's side won the quarter-final tie 3-2 on aggregate after winning the first leg 3-0 at Elland Road. It was the first time Leeds had reached the semi-final of Europe's main club competition for 26 years but they needed a mixture of good fortune and fantastic defending to achieve it in a pulsating game. 

Deportivo had described Leeds as the weakest side left in the competition before the quarter-final draw, then had to eat their words when they were well beaten in the first leg. But three-goal deficits were nothing new for the Spaniards who wiped out a similar scoreline against Paris St Germain in their last Champions League appearance at home. In a sizzling atmosphere and on a pitch covered with white ticker-tape, they looked like doing it all over again for long periods on Tuesday. 

Deportivo La Coruna: Molina, Manuel Pablo, Donato, Naybet, Romero, Victor, Mauro Silva, Fran, Djalminha, Pandiani, Makaay 

Leeds United: Martyn, Mills, Ferdinand, Matteo, Harte, Bowyer, Dacourt, Batty, Kewell, Viduka, Smith.
