Mustafi and Can both on track to qualify for Champions League

World Champion Shkodran Mustafi and FC Valencia remain on course to qualify for the Champions League in Spain’s Primera División. The two-time UEFA Cup winners beat UD Levante 3-0 in the local derby on Monday evening and currently occupy fourth place, one point behind reigning champions Athlétio Madrid, who are in third.

Spainnish youngster Paco Alcacer (16’), Algerian Sofiane Feghouli (36’) and 2012 European Champion Alvaro Negredo (90’) were the goal scorers for the hosts, who extended their unbeaten run to ten games with Mustafi in the starting line-up.

Can and Liverpool beat Newcastle

Germany Under-21 international Emre Can and Liverpool are still hopeful of qualifying for the Champions League next season after beating Newcastle United 2-0 on matchday 32 in the English Premier League thanks to goals from Raheem Sterling (9’) and Joe Allen (70’).

Can played the whole 90 minutes for the Reds, who cut the gap on fourth placed Manchester City to four points after City’s 4-2 defeat to Manchester United in the Manchester derby on Sunday. Fourth place will automatically qualify for the playoffs of next season’s Champions League. Newcastle, who had Moussa Sissoko sent off for a second bookable offence in the 83rd minute, remain in 13th.
