After sealing passage through to the final 16 of the UEFA Europa League on Thursday night, Sevilla FC and Villarreal CF will now face one another at the next stage of the European competition.

Villarreal, who have reached this round for the first time since the 2010/11 season, will play the first leg at home, and the return leg of the knockout stage will be played at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán stadium.

"We are not happy because one of us will take away the other’s chance of winning. We are playing against the champion, we know that Sevilla is a very difficult side, however we are not too far from being at their level. This is an open and equal knockout stage", stated Marcelino García Toral to the Spanish media as soon as the clash against Sevilla had been announced.

The UEFA Europa League round of 16 will get underway on 12 March 2015 and the return leg will be played the following week. Then we will know which teams are still in with a chance of lifting the title.
