M1 PAOK Salonika vs KAA Gent: PAOK registered 11 points in finishing second to FC Copenhagen in their Europa Conference League group, before overcoming another Danish side, Midtjylland, 5-3 on penalties in the knockout round play-off. Gent cruised directly into the round of 16 after topping their group with 13 points.

M9 Barcelona vs Galatasaray: Barcelona’s quest for the one major international trophy missing from their collection continues with a Europa League round of 16 tie against former UEFA Cup winners Galatasaray.
