The draw for the 2020/21 UEFA Europa League group stage was completed in Nyon, Switzerland, on Friday afternoon, and it produced some interesting groups.
Defending champions Sevilla, who won their sixth Europa League title in the previous edition, will head to the UEFA Champions League's group stage this time around, but could return to the tournament if they bow out early.
The 2019/20 Europa League Player of the Season was also announced, with Inter Milan striker Romelu Lukaku scooping up the award. The Belgium forward scored in the final, but Inter Milan were edged to the trophy by Sevilla. Lukaku was up against Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes as well as Sevilla's Ever Banega for the accolade.
There are 48 teams competing in the group stage, with some big names such as Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, AC Milan, Napoli and Bayer Leverkusen, to name a few.
