The 2023/24 UEFA Europa League last-16 ties have all been played and we now know the eight teams whose quests for continental silverware will keep going.
Liverpool and West Ham United continue to fly the flag for England and they will be joined in the next round by Marseille, Roma, Benfica, Bayer Leverkusen, AC Milan and Atalanta.
Here’s all you need to know about the draw for the next round.
The 2023/24 UEFA Europa League quarter-final draw will take place on Friday 15 March at 12:00 GMT, straight after the draw for the Champions League’s equivalent stage, at UEFA’s headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.
The semi-final draw will also be held, meaning teams will learn their potential path to the final. There are no restrictions for which teams can face each other, meaning clubs from the same association could be paired up in the last eight.
The 2023/24 UEFA Europa League quarter-final draw will be available to watch on UEFA’s official website.
Liverpool dominated Sparta Prague to the tune of a 11-2 aggregate scoreline, justifying their status as favourites to win the competition.
Touted Jurgen Klopp replacement Xabi Alonso nearly saw his Bayer Leverkusen side slip to their first defeat all season at Qarabag – twice. After a late scare in the first leg, Leverkusen scored twice in injury time to seal a 5-4 aggregate victory in the second leg to preserve their perfect status.
Brighton’s 1-0 win over Roma was not enough to erase the 4-0 thumping their received from the first leg, while West Ham went the opposite route and overturned a one-goal deficit with a ferocious 5-0 win over Freiburg.
