The draw for the Europa League play-off round and the Europa Conference play-off round has been made, with Barcelona v Napoli the standout tie.

The knockout stage of both competitions has a brand new format this season after the Europa Conference League was established.

For the Europa, instead of a round of 32, there will be a play-off round which will see the teams who finished second in their Europa League group face a team dropping down from the Champions League in a play-off.

Those eight ties will be decided to determine a last 16 and then the competition will progress as normal.

The undoubted standout fixture from the draw is Barcelona facing Napoli.

The Blaugrana failed to qualify for the knockout stage of the Champions League for the first time in 21 years this season and are at a low ebb both on and off the pitch.

They take on a Napoli side who finished second in the Europa League in a group alongside Spartak Moscow, Leicester and Legia Warsaw.

Another tasty tie will see Borussia Dortmund take on Scottish champions Rangers.
