This Friday during the draw in Nyon, Switzerland, the draws for the final stages of the Champions League and Europa League took place. The teams who are still alive in the competitions now know who their opponents are or could be. 

After the Champions League draw, it was time for the Europa League draw. Prior to the draw for the competition formally called the UEFA Cup, many former players and famous faces were spoken to.
