Roma will face Spanish side Sevilla in the last-16 of the Europa League.
The Giallorossi will travel to the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan for the first leg next month (March 12), with the second leg taking place at the Stadio Olimpico a week later.
Sevilla, currently fourth in La Liga, reached this stage after beating Romanian side Cluj on away goals.
"We were ready for anyone, at this stage every side left is strong," said Manolo Zubiria, the club's Chief Global Sporting Officer.
"If we want to go far in this competition we have to be ready to face anyone."
Sevilla have an illustrious history in the competition - with five titles since 2006, they are the most successful side in the history of the Europa League and its predecessor, the UEFA Cup.
The two sides have never met before in European competition, although they have played a number of friendlies over the years - the most recent of those coming in 2018, when the Spaniards ran out 2-1 winners at the Pizjuan.
Paulo Fonseca's side have two Serie A games to navigate prior to the first leg; they travel to face Cagliari this Sunday, and host Sampdoria at the Stadio Olimpico on March 8.
“Sevilla are one of the best sides left in the competition," Fonseca said.
"They are a side we know well, with a coach we know well, and good, experienced players. They are fourth in the league but level on points with Atletico Madrid. They are a good side."
