The Europa League draw for the round of 16 has just been announced and there are some tasty ties.
Manchester United, the only English side in the last 16, ran out comfortably winners in their tie against Saint-Etienne and in their next round they will face a trip to Russia to play FC Rostov.
Tottenham, on the other hand, suffered an embarrassing exit at the hands of Belgian minnows Gent - losing 3-2 on aggregate. Gent are rewarded for their victory with a tie against fellow Belgian side Genk - that's going to get very confusing for commentators and pundits alike.
Another pick of the ties is an all-German clash between Schalke and Monchengladbach, which should be a cracking set of games.

High-scoring Lyon, who beat AZ Alkmaar 11-2 on aggregate in the round of 32, will take on one of the tournament favourites in Roma - who are currently second in Serie A.
That fixture is perhaps best known for Amantino Mancini's step-over masterclass, which you can relive here:
