February 23 – The draw for the Europa League last 16 knock-out rounds has the feel of a Champions League draw with Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen (both leading their national leagues), AC Milan, Benfica, Marseilles and Roma all in the competition, and none of them drawn against each other in the next round.
Liverpool will feel optimistic after drawing Sparta Prague from this morning’s ceremony – the Czech side surprised Galatasaray with a 4-1 thumping on Thursday night but face a sterner test ahead.
