Sparta Prague would be great. We'd smash them on the pitch and have a great away in a beautiful city.

Not

Not really sure on this scenario mate, Basle could give us a harder game if we drew them.

Very true but Its Liverpool and we all know we try our best to lose to them. I'd rather get knocked out by Basel than RS.

If my maths is correct (which it usually isn't), then there are still a potential 42 clubs we could meet in Round of 32, 25 of which are teams who could still potentially finish as Europa League group runners up, and 17 who could still potentially finish in third place in their Champions League group :

POTENTIAL EUROPA LEAGUE RUNNERS UP

GROUP B - Club Brugge / Torino / HJK Helsinki
GROUP C - Besiktas
GROUP D - Celtic

GROUP G - Feyenoord / Sevilla / HNK Rijeka
GROUP I - Napoli / Sparta Prague / BSC Young Boys
GROUP J - Dynamo Kiev / Aalborg BK / Steaua Bucharest
GROUP K - Guingamp / PAOK Salonika

Unless they smashed us again. I'd rather avoid them.

Man up.

 

[blue4eva77]

Villareal please.

 

[4737carlin]

To be honest i would fancy us against anyone in the other pot, if there not good enough to be in our pot we will beat them, simple as.

 

[mglennon]

Villarreal is a pain to get to, no near airport from my recollection.

 

[4737carlin]

Basel or Ludo would be good, we can show Liverpool how its done in Europe

 

[snipellis11]

Who ever plays us are in big trouble.

Pretty sure the [Poor language removed] can still drop down

Yes, but the soonest we could face them would be Round of 16. Same with Wolfsburg. (Or Lille, technically speaking, but their chances are miniscule at this point.)

Can't draw clubs from your association or your EL group in the Round of 32.

 

[riddick]

The fact that 3rd place teams from the CL still come into this is embarrassing. It totally devalues the competition, ESPECIALLY when the winner now gets automatic entry into the CL.

Europa A Zurich can still finish 2nd - if they beat BMG and Villarreal also win
