Jakarta –
Barcelona thrown into Europa League. There are six teams that are potential opponents for the Blaugrana in the play-off phase.
Barcelona lost 0-3 at the headquarters of Bayern Munich in the match to determine the group phase E of the Champions League. The result made Barcelona sit in third position because at the same time Benfica was able to beat Dynamo Kyiv and take the runner-up status.
Xavi Hernandez’s team and third place in the other Champions League group stages will be drawn against the runners-up in the Europa League. The status of the throwing team from the Champions League is not as seeded.
Of the eight Europa League runners-up teams, only six teams can play against Barcelona: Rangers FC, Napoli, Olympiakos, Lazio, Braga and Dinamo Zagreb. Real Sociedad and Real Betis, who were also runners-up, could not be met with Barcelona because they both came from Spain.
This draw will take place on Monday (12/13/2021) local time. The first leg match will be held on 17 February 2022 and the seeded team will host the second leg on 24 February 2022 local time.
The winners in the play-off phase will advance to the round of 16 to face the group winners of the Europa League. If Barcelona managed to advance, the potential opponents would be Lyon, AS Monaco, Spartak Moscow, Eintracht Frankfurt, Galatasaray, Red Star Belgrade, Bayer Leverkusen, and West Ham United.
When in the draw, teams with one country cannot be met. Seeing no contestants from Spain who won the group, Barcelona could meet opponents from one of these teams.
The winner who advances from the play-off phase is not seeded in the draw. This means that Barcelona will host again in the first leg. That is also if Barcelona can qualify.
The following is a list of potential opponents for Barcelona:
Rangers FC (Scotland)
Naples Italy)
Lazio (Italy)
Olympiakos (Greece)
Braga (Portugal)
Dinamo Zagreb (Croatia)
