In the Europa League, it’s still hard to tell if the boys have been separated from the men.
While the competition has now moved into the knockout stages, there are still some big names that made it from the Champions League. So, it’s safe to say that the battle of men versus boy is still raging on in the Europa League.
And you can expect episodes of these battles to play out later this week as the Round of 16 games are played.
Rangers, fresh off just winning the Scottish Premier League title, will now have plenty of time to focus on going as far as possible in the competition. Unbeaten in their last six – and unbeaten in the Europa League this season – will face Slavia Praha in their next Europa League game.
Will they triumph over Slavia Praha in the first leg of their Round of 16 clash?

Slavia Praha, on the other hand, will be relishing the chance of knocking out another UK side after defeating Leicester City in the previous round.
Speaking of UK sides, Manchester United will also be in action as they take on AC Milan. While the Italian needed away goals to make it past Crvena Zvezda, Manchester United made light work of Real Sociedad.

Both sides played out draws in their last Europa League games. With AC Milan travelling to Old Trafford first, the Italians will be hoping the absence of key man, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, will not hurt their chances of progressing past the Red Devils.
When Olympiakos welcomes Arsenal, it will be a fixture between two familiar foes.
Both sides have not lost in their last three games each. While Arsenal have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last eight games, they can bank on the fact that Olympiakos have also failed to keep a clean sheet in their last eight against them.

Ajax versus Young Boys is another game that should be thrilling, for a lot of reasons but mainly for the goals. In the previous round, the Swiss Boys scored six goals against their German opponents. In the same round, the Dutch Boys put four past their French opponents.
It’s a first meeting between both sides. Ironically, both sides are on an 18-game unbeaten run.
In other games, AS Roma will take on Shakhtar Donetsk while Tottenham will face Dinamo Zagreb. Dynamo Kyiv will also face Villarreal as Granada continue their amazing run with their game against Molde.
