Sevilla & Villarreal paired in EL

Sevilla and Villarreal will take each other on in the Europa League last 16 after both clubs were paired together during Friday’s draw in Nyon.

In what is an all-Spanish tie – the second to involve teams from the same country, along with Roma-Fiorentina – the Andalucians beat Borussia Monchengladbach 4-2 over two legs to stay in with a chance of defending their crown.

The Yellow Submarine, meanwhile, defeated Red Bull Salzburg 5-2 on aggregate to reach their first European knockouts since 2011, when they reached the Europa League semi-finals, only to be eliminated by eventual winners Porto.

The first legs will be played on March 12, with the return legs scheduled a week later.
