The round of 16 of the Europa League promises to be very competitive this season, with shocks galore.
There are only 16 teams left in the race for the Europa League trophy this season. The dams delivered their verdict on Thursday evening and they were not too favorable to the Ligue 1 clubs. Only OM managed to do well.
The Marseillais managed to take out Shakhtar Donetsk by doing the job at the Vélodrome. On the other hand, Lens, Toulouse and Rennes have all fallen by the wayside.
The French teams have deserted the event, but the competition has not lost its interest. There are still some great customers left in the race and there are likely to be many shocks from the round of 16 stage.
Which teams are still in the Europa League race?
Teams from the play-offs:
Freiburg, Qarabag, AC Milan, Benfica, Sparta Prague, Sporting.
Teams from the group stage
West Ham, Brighton, Rangers, Atalanta, Liverpool, Villarreal, Slavia Prague, Bayer Leverkusen.
What possible opponents for OM
OM, who dream of winning their second continental trophy this season, may come across 8 different opponents. The Phocaeans can only challenge the teams which finished first in the group stage. A remake with Brighton is entirely possible.
