BARCELONA have been drawn against Napoli for their first Europa League clash in 17 years.

It is Xavi's first Europa League match as manager too and he will welcome the Serie A side to the Nou Camp for the first leg in February.


Meanwhile, Rangers have been drawn against Erling Haaland's Borussia Dortmund.

The Gers were knocked out at the quarter-final stage last year and face a tough task to reach that round this time around.

Napoli beat Leicester in the final game of the group stages to secure qualification, which means Brendan Rodgers' men missed out on a dream tie.

But Napoli taking their place means two of Diego Maradona's former sides will go head-to-head in what promises to be two electrifying games – on and off the pitch.

And fans of the likes of West Ham, Galatasary and Bayer Leverkusen will be watching with interest, as they will play the winners of the Round of 32 ties.
