End of the round of 16 return to the Europa League this Thursday, March 16 with the objective of qualifying for the quarter-finals.
Admittedly, no team lost at home last Thursday, March 9. But the challenge this Thursday, March 16 during these matches is obviously a place in the quarter-finals of the Europa League. Some clubs have cards to play in these meetings. This is for example the case of Sporting who unfortunately conceded a draw at home against Arsenal (2-2). But the Portuguese had been dominating against the Premier League leader who was worried. Union Berlin and Union Saint-Gilloise are neck and neck like Shakhtar and Feyenoord.
Juventus who have held their rank have only a slight advantage and the Italians will have to be wary in Freiburg Germany. AS Roma and Bayer Leverkusen will travel to Real Sociedad and Ferencvaros with more certainty having planted two goals without taking any in the first leg. Finally Manchester United will go to Betis Sevilla with a rather calm mind. They won 4-1 last week.
The round of 16 return matches are perfectly distributed tonight with four matches scheduled for 6:45 p.m. and four matches scheduled for 9 p.m.
With the absence of French clubs in the Europa League, it is the paid channel RMC Sport which will broadcast the eight posters of the knockout stages of the Europa League.
The group stage of the Europa League will be played from Thursday 8 September 2022 to Thursday 3 November 2022 while the knockout stage will be played from Thursday 16 February 2023 to Thursday 18 May 2023. As for the final, it is scheduled on May 31, 2023 at the Puskas Arena stadium in Budapest (Hungary). The schedule was then compiled by UEFA as follows:
As last season, UEFA has awarded the French TV rights for the 2022/2023 Europa League to RMC Sport, M6 and Canal which will ensure the broadcast until the end of the 2023/2024 season. Canal will co-broadcast with M6 each Thursday’s poster and RMC Sport offers all the remaining matches. M6 will broadcast the final scheduled for May 31, 2023.
