The draw for the final phase of the Europa League will take place this Friday, starting at 1 pm. It will involve Lyon and Lille.
“Ask for the program! Following Lille’s qualification on Thursday, against Red Star Belgrade (0-1, 2-0), French football will have two clubs in the round of 16 of the Europa League. They will learn about their future in the competition this Friday, starting at 1 pm, with the draw for the final phase. Just a reminder that the round of 16 matches will take place on March 13 and 19.
Similar to PSG-Monaco in the Champions League play-offs, we could see an all-Ligue 1 matchup. Indeed, Lyon, the top team in the group stage of the C3, will face either Lille or the winner of the play-off between the Spanish team Celta Vigo and the Greeks PAOK Salonica (2-1 in the first leg). As for Lille, they will face either Lyon or the English team Aston Villa, managed by former Paris Saint-Germain coach Unai Emery and currently third in the Premier League. Tough competition for Lille.”
“Chelsea or Barcelona for PSG”
“Having defeated Monaco without shining or assuring their performance in the play-offs, PSG will face Barcelona or Chelsea in the round of 16 of the Champions League. What about Strasbourg, already qualified for the round of 16 of the Europa Conference League after finishing on top of the group stage? They will play against Fiorentina, who are 16th in Serie A, or the Hungarian team Rijeka.”
