Europa League quarter-final draw set as Man Utd, Tottenham & Rangers learn opponents | OneFootball

The Europa League is moving on, with 16 teams successfully whittled down to just eight on Thursday night. Now, the quarter-finals of thie seasons's competition beckon.

The quarter-final draw was made at the same time as the last 16 ties were chosen last month, with the last eight fixtures now locked in. The semi-finals were also drafted then, too, as the entire remaining knockout bracket was mapped out.

Manchester United's reward for overcoming Real Sociedad in the last 16 is a quarter-final tie against Lyon, who thrashed Romania's FCSB by an aggregate score-line of 7-1 over the two legs. It marks the first time the clubs will have faced each other since a Champions League last 16 encounter in 2008, and only the third time they have ever been paired together in competitive action.

Tottenham Hotspur overturned an aggregate deficit against AZ in their last 16 tie and must now face 2021/22 winners Eintracht Franfurt if they are to keep progressing.

Lazio will take on tournament surprise package Bodo/Glimt, while Athletic Club, hoping to reach the final on home soil this season are to take on 2008 finalists Rangers after the Scottish giants eliminated Jose Mourinho's Fenerbahce on penalties.

This season's Europa League final is set for Wednesday 21 May at San Mames in Bilbao.

Quarter-final ties will be played on 10 and 17 April.
