TEAMS QUALIFIED:

Round of 16 standings

Angel di Maria was the difference in the first leg and the Serie A club will hope to see things out here with that advantage. Look for Freiburg to go hard in this one, even remains in the thick of the Bundesliga title race.

This should be a good clash in the second leg, especially since the teams are tied. Feyenoord might have the edge as the home side in this one.

Barring a total collapse, the Red Devils are going to be in the quarterfinal round.

It's been a dismal domestic season for the La Liga side, but this is a competition they have historically performed well in. They'd like to make a deep run here.

Leverkusen are starting to fall behind in the Bundesliga standings, so they should be able to focus most of their top team on this match. They've also got a two-goal lead, so they can hunker down a bit in the second leg.

The Serie A side should have no issues holding a two-goal lead at home, even against a solid La Liga outfit in Sociedad.

This was a wild first leg, with Berlin grabbing a late goal to head into the second leg even on aggregate goals. Both these sides are doing well domestically too, so we'll see what kind of lineup they put out here to try and take this tie.

The Gunners are hoping their strong season can continue in the Europa League as they look to grab a win at home to advance over a strong Portuguese side. We'll see how Mikel Arteta manages his team with a Sunday Premier League match.
