BARCELONA, 25 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Sevilla FC, the six-time winner and most successful club in the UEFA Europa League, will face England’s West Ham in this season’s round of 16, while their neighbor Real Betis will face Germany’s Frankfurt and FC Barcelona will host Turkish Galatasaray.
There was not much luck for the two teams from Seville, a city that will host the final of this Europa League at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán. For their part, the sevillistas will face the sole representative of the Premier League, with the return leg at the Olympic Stadium in London.
For its part, Real Betis will face a Frankfurt that is tenth in the Bundesliga in a tie in which, in principle, the Betis start as favorites due to their great form in LaLiga Santander, third.
And the third representative of LaLiga, FC Barcelona, is the one who had the luckiest in the draw carried out this Friday at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon (Switzerland). Xavi Hernández’s men will recall duels from the past against a Galatasaray that will try to give the bell against a Barça that has just eliminated Napoli with great football.
