La Real will face a “bone” on February 18 and 25 in the round of 32. He passes as second, they place him in Pot 2, and he will most likely have to face a great from Europe. There are teams that are directly from the Champions League, some enemies from the past in Europe and very few ‘sweet tooth’ among the 14 possible opponents. The draw is held next Monday, December 14, in Nyon at 1:00 p.m., after the Champions League.
La Real can be measured against 10 of the 12 group champions in the Europa League, all except Naples, because the Parthenopeans were already measured in Group F, and Villarreal, since there can be no duel between Spaniards. Namely: Roma, Arsenal, Bayer Leverkusen, Glasgow Rangers, PSV, Leicester, Milan, Tottenham, Dinamo Zagreb and Hoffenheim. The other possible opponents in the round of 32 are the four that fall from the Champions League with the best scores in the group stage of the continental top competition: Shakhtar Donetsk, Ajax Amsterdam, Manchester United and Bruges.
La Real, since they are not seeded, will play the first leg in Anoeta on February 18 and the return game away from home, a week later, on February 25. It remains to be seen if there will be fans in the stadium, even if it is in a limited capacity.
Among the most powerful enemies, without a doubt, we must mention the four Englishmen –Tottenham, Arsenal, Manchester United Y Leicester-, the leader of the Italian Serie A, the Milan, the Germans of the Bayer
Leverkusen and the Hoffenheim and of course the Ajax from Amsterdam. There are three opponents that Real have already faced this decade in Europe: Bayer Leverkusen, Manchester United and Shakhtar Donetsk in the 2013/14 Champions League. The most affordable rivals, a priori, are Dinamo Zagreb and Bruges.
