could only finish third in their group, but they will hope to make more
of a mark on the Europa League this term, starting with their tie
against Belgian side Gent.

who remained unbeaten throughout the group stage and who currently sit
second in Serie A, have been drawn against a Villarreal side that
finished second in their pool behind Osmanlispor and who lie sixth in La
Liga.
Borussia Monchengladbach, who finished third behind
Barcelona and Manchester City in their Champions League group, have been
handed a tough test against Serie A club Fiorentina.
