If Manchester City wants to challenge Bayern, Chelsea will fight hard against Real Madrid, who eliminated Liverpool in the round of 16. It is also the two consecutive Europa League rounds where the two teams will meet in the top 8.

Inter Milan will face off against Benfica in the quarterfinals, and in the quarterfinals, they eliminated Porto, also from the Portuguese Super League. As for AC Milan, which has entered the top 8 of the Europa League after 11 years, it will stage a Serie A infighting with Napoli. However, the gap between the two teams in the league table is obvious. The Rossoneri is 20 points behind the Serie A leader. .
The first round of the top 8 will start on the 11th of next month, and the second round will be played one week later.
