There are 16 teams still left in the 2022/23 Europa League and they will all be hoping to be involved in the final in Hungary at the end of May.
Europe’s second-tier club competition has already seen some high-profile teams crash out with Barcelona, Ajax and PSV Eindhoven being knocked out last month.

However, the likes of Juventus, Arsenal and Roma are not guaranteed a spot in the last eight after tight first legs.
