Europa League Last 16, 2nd leg, Mar 15

By Chris Dinsdale

March 15, 2018 - Europa League Round of 16 second leg matches. Ties of the round include Athletic Bilbao hosting Olympique Marseille at the Estadio de San Mames. Bilbao, 2012 Europa League finalists, featuring the competition’s top goalscorer Aritz Aduriz, must recover from a first leg two-goal deficit if they are to reach the quarter finals. Elsewhere, heavyweights Arsenal, Borussia Dortmund and Atletico Madrid are also aiming to qualify for the quarter-final draw, which takes place on March 16.

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.
