Europe, draw

Lazio and Roma will not face each other in the Europa League round of 16. Nor will they do so before a possible final, since they ended up on the opposite side of the scoreboard. Indeed, this is the outcome of the draw.

The Biancoceleste team, which finished the initial maxi round in first place, will in fact have to face Viktoria Plzen, who snatched the qualification pass by eliminating Ferencvaros in the playoffs. Ranieri’s will instead face Athletic Bilbao.

First leg matches on March 6 and return on the 13th. The final è scheduled for May 21 in Bilbao.
