The seven opponents Milan could face in the Europa League play-off round | OneFootball

The final round of Europa League group stage games was played last night, thus determining the seven teams that AC Milan can draw in the play-off round.

Milan finished third in their Champions League group, which since the 1999-00 season has meant dropping into the Europa League. As per the current format of the competition, it means a play-off round to get access to the last 16.

The knockout round play-off will put the eight Europa League group-stage runners-up against the eight clubs who finished third in their Champions League groups, with the Europa League clubs being seeded and therefore playing at home in the second leg. Those ties will be played on Thursday 15 and Thursday 22 February 2024.

The eight Europa League runners-up were SC Freiburg of Germany, Sparta Praha of the Czech Republic, Sporting CP of Portugal, French clubs Olympique Marseille, Toulouse and Stade Rennais, Roma of Italy and Qarabağ FK of Azerbaijan.

The draw will take place on Monday 18 December, and Milan cannot get Roma as they from the same country, so the list is as follows:

Freiburg (GER)Marseille (FRA)Sparta Praha (CZE)Stade Rennais (FRA)Sporting CP (POR)Toulouse (FRA)Qarabag (AZE)
