Europa League draw: Which opponents will the German teams get?

The games of the next round of the Europa League will be drawn on Friday at 1 p.m. at UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland. After the round of the last 32 teams in which two German teams prevailed on Thursday, the round of 16 is now approaching . A total of 16 teams are still in the race.

Curiously, there are currently 17 teams in the competition. Eintracht Frankfurt and Salzburg have yet to determine the last round of 16.

The new date, meanwhile, did not cause enthusiasm for everyone, but was ultimately borne by those responsible: "It is the best of the worst solutions," said Eintracht board member Axel Hellmann after a crisis meeting in Salzburg to relocate the European Cup match.

A safe arrival and departure of the spectators could not have been guaranteed. “The health of the spectators and the players always comes first. This is force majeure, even if it means more effort for our planning and that of the fans, ”said Eintracht sports director Fredi Bobic.

The Andalusians had to tremble quite a bit in the second leg against Cluj. Shortly before the end of the game, a hit by the Romanians was canceled after video evidence (correctly).

In addition to last year's semi-finalist Eintracht Frankfurt, Inter Milan and AS Roma from Italy are also contenders for the title.

The current round already caused a few surprises. Braga, AZ Alkmaar, Sporting Lisbon and above all Ajax Amsterdam, last season in the Champions League semifinals, and last year's finalist Arsenal London said goodbye to the competition. The Dutch failed at Getafe, the surprise fifth of the Spanish La Liga, while the Gunners sailed against Olympiacos Piraeus.
