The round of 16 draw: Europa League – Frankfurt meets Amsterdam

Eintracht Frankfurt, the last German football team in the Europa League, is dealing with Ajax Amsterdam in the round of 16.

This resulted in the draw on Friday in Nyon. FCSB Bucharest would also have been a possible opponent in the new mode with loose pairs, but was drawn to Olympique Lyon. In the first leg on March 6th, Frankfurt competes away and then has home advantage in the second leg on March 13th.

“Ajax is a very good team, a difficult opponent. We look forward to the games,” Sky said sports director Markus Krösche.

In a possible quarter-finals, Frankfurt could meet AZ Alkmaar from the Netherlands or for the English Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur. Here, too, the draw would initially be off. In 2022, the Frankfurter won the Europa League.

Fenerbahce against Rangers

Fenerbahce Istanbul has the Glasgow Rangers as an opponent in the round of 16. The duels between Real Sociedad and Manchester United as well as as Rome and Athletic Bilbao are also exciting.

The loose pulled the former Spanish professional Aritz Aduriz. He had scored 37 goals in 66 games in Europe and Champions League for Athletic Bilbao and FC Valencia.

Conference League: Chelsea against Copenhagen

The Conference League continues after the playoff-out of FC Heidenheim from the round of 16 without German participation. The most exciting pairing on Friday is likely to take place in Copenhagen, where the FC there welcomes Chelsea in the first leg. AC Florence meets Panathinaikos. The dates for first and second leg are parallel to the Europa League of the 6th and March 13th.
