Europa League: Roma discover route to final

The Giallorossi, who must face Sevilla in a one-off tie in the last-16, will head to Germany at the start of August for the final knockout stages of the UEFA competition.

Should they manage to overcome the Spanish side, Paulo Fonseca's men now know the potential path that awaits them as they bid to go all the way to the final.

Either Greek side Olympiakos or English side Wolverhampton Wanderers lie in wait in the quarter-finals of the competition.

The two sides drew 1-1 in Piraeus before the lockdown, with the second leg still to be completed.

Should that round also be surpassed, the Giallorossi will be into the semi-finals - where they will face one of LASK, Manchester United, Istanbul Basaksehir or Copenhagen.

United are likely to progress against Austrian side LASK, having won 5-0 in the first leg of their last-16 meeting.

Basaksehir, who Roma faced and beat in the group stages of the competition earlier in the season, hold a slender 1-0 advantage over their Danish opponents in their tie.

Once the last-16 ties are completed, all remaining rounds will be one-legged affairs played on neutral territory in Germany.

Roma's game against Sevilla will take place in Duisburg on August 6, with the winning team moving on to a quarter-final at the same venue on August 11.

The final of the competition is scheduled to take place on August 21 in Cologne.
