If the Champions League draw was comparatively dull, the Europa League draw was not. The first two draws drawn out of the hat were Porto-Man City and Ajax-United. The four biggest losers from the Champions League group stage clashing against each other straight away.
And on top of that, Porto or City will likely play Sporting ín the next round.
5 out of 8 English teams survived the group stage if you include the Manchester teams demoted to Europa League. Not a great result, but what next:
Napoli-Chelsea
Milan-Arsenal
Porto-City
Ajax-United
Stoke-Valencia
Wow. Hard to make up a tougher draw.
Other big games to look forward to are
Lazio-Atlectico
AZ-Anderlecht
A possible Liege-Brugge tie in the next round
