Check out the match-ups for the Europa League knock-outs following Friday's draw, which took place at 13:00 CET at the House of European Football in Nyon, Switzerland.

The path of the Europa League knockouts - from the round of 16 to the final - has officially been revealed, with the draw taking place following the conclusion of the playoffs last night. 16 teams are in contention to conquer the trophy and dethrone last year's winner Atalanta facing an early elimination from the tournament.

Manchester United and Spurs will be looking to reach the final, which will be held on May 21 at the San Mames Stadium, after finishing off the league phase into the top eight places. The two English sides could both make it into the final in Bilbao as they sit in opposite brackets.

Man United see themselves taking on Real Sociedad, who accessed the knockouts by eliminating Midtjylland in the playoffs. On the other hand, Tottenham have been drawn against AZ Alkmaar, who made their way into the last 16 by knocking out Galatasaray
