Europa League Last 16, 1st leg, Mar 8

By Chris Dinsdale

March 8, 2018 - Europa League Round of 16 first leg matches, including a heavyweight clash between AC Milan and Arsenal at the San Siro Stadium. The Gunners have endured a beleaguered campaign, with manager Arsene Wenger’s position increasingly untenable after four successive defeats with Arsenal for the first time since 2002. Elsewhere, two-time champions Atletico Madrid face Lokomotiv Moscow, and Borussia Dortmund take on Red Bull Salzburg. Second leg matches take place on March 15.

The 2017-18 UEFA Europa League is the 47th season of Europe’s secondary club football tournament. The final will be played at the Stade de Lyon on May 16.

The winners automatically qualify for the 2018-19 UEFA Champions League group stage, and earn the right to play against the winners of the 2017-18 UEFA Champions League in the 2018 UEFA Super Cup.
