Vanden Stock's preview on Valencia-RSCA

Chairman Roger Vanden Stock and whole Anderlecht are still dreaming of the second round of the Champions League. But Vanden Stock doesn't see Anderlecht take a point in Valencia.


"Look at our statistics, we hardly win an away game in the Champions League", says Vanden Stock. "We don't really have a chance to beat Valencia in Spain. We have to be realistic."

But a defeat in Spain isn't too bad.

"We have a strong home reputation. If we can win all three games, we have a good chance to get into the second round. We are a small club in Europe these days. Look at our budget. We once eliminated Valencia with ease in the UEFA-Cup of 1983 (quarter finals: 1-2 and 3-1), but no one remembers that. But I'm pretty sure that our 3-0 victory over Benfica impressed a lot of teams."
