Europa League last-16 draw

Goal brings you everything you need to know about the draw ceremony for the next stage of the tournament
The 2019-20 Europa League is heading towards the final stages and all but one of the last-16 participants are now known.

Behemoths of European football such as Manchester United, Inter and Roma will continue their quest for continental glory as they also aim to secure a precious route into the Champions League.

Not long after the round of 32 comes to a close, UEFA will be conducting a draw to see which teams play each other in the next phase of the competition.

Scottish side Rangers were the first team to book their place in the hat for the draw after beating  Portugal's Sporting Braga 4-2 on aggregate on Wednesday, February 26.
 


The likes of Manchester United, Roma, Sevilla and Inter advanced on Thursday, February 27, with the Red Devils particularly impressive in their 5-0 demolition of Club Brugge.

It was a totally different story for Arsenal, however, who were knocked out by Olympiacos at the Emirates Stadium, with their tie going to extra time before Youssef El-Arabi stunned the hosts with a late winner.

The second leg of Eintracht Frankfurt vs Red Bull Salzburg has been postponed to Friday, February 28, meanwhile, due to adverse weather.

There is no seeding or national restrictions in Friday's draw, meaning teams from the same country can be paired together.
