Europa League draw: Napoli to meet RB Leipzig in standout tilt
The round of 32 draw for the Europa League was picked out in Nyon, Switzerland on Monday, and included plenty of heavyweight names for what's usually dubbed the continent's secondary club competition.
The meeting of Napoli and RB Leipzig is more suited to Champions League football, while Lyon and Villarreal's two-legged tussle is another one to watch.
The draw also produced an intriguing tie for Graham Potter, who has guided Ostersund from the fourth tier of Swedish football and into a European knockout doubleheader with English giant Arsenal.
