Three of China's elite soccer players who have traveled overseas made their debut in the Europa League this weekend.
At dawn on April 17, Vizela lost 0:1 to Belém away from home in the 30th round of the Portuguese Super League. Guo Tianyu came on as a substitute in the 83rd minute, making his second appearance of his Portuguese Super League career.
Early in the morning of the same day, Li Lei, who returned from injury, made his debut for Grasshoppers in the 30th round of the Swiss Super League. He was substituted in the 87th minute, and Grasshoppers beat Servite 1:0 with a penalty kick orchestrated by Li Lei.
That night, in the 32nd round of the Spanish Primera Division, Espanyol challenged Atletico Madrid on the road. In the 80th minute, Wu Lei came on the field to replace Serge Gomez. Although Wu Lei took a shot from a small angle in the 86th minute, the goalkeeper of the opposing team steadily pounced on the ball. In extra time, the opponent scored a penalty kick, and the Spaniards finally lost 1:2. After this round, Spaniards with 10 wins, 9 draws and 13 losses, temporarily ranked 12th in the La Liga table.
