Clubs from Wales have struggled to make an impact in Europe, but the Swans' storming of the Mestalla offers hope, writes Luke James
Swansea's stunning 3-0 Europa League victory over Valencia last Tuesday was nothing less than historic. True, the Spanish hosts played with 10 men for 80 minutes after Adil Rami was dismissed.

Michu then made sure that some incisive, two-touch passing counted with a thunderous close-range strike on 58 minutes.
