Espanyol have always lived in the shadow of city rivals Barcelona, but will take the spotlight in Wednesday's UEFA Cup final against Sevilla.
One man hoping to be a part of the all-Spanish affair is Moroccan international Mohammed El Yaagoubi, best know as Moha.
Despite plying his trade in Spain since 1999, first with Barcelona and then Osasuna, the 29 year-old has yet to taste any form of success in club soccer.

"I'm happy, my heart is beating fast, really fast. But we are relaxed. We have an important game against Madrid this Saturday and next week we will play a good final."

With Sevilla still vying for the La Liga title, Espanyol are seen as underdogs for the final in Glasgow, but Moha says they won't be overawed.

"They (Sevilla) are up there with Barcelona and Madrid but we are playing well in this competition and God willing we will have a good game in the final of the UEFA and we will win it."

Although he was part of the Moroccan squad that reached the final of the 2004 African Cup of Nations, Wednesday's match, win or lose, will be the crowning moment of Moha's career so far.
