Juventus will face Lyon in the quarterfinals of the Europa League as they look to continue their quest for a place in the final at their own stadium in Turin.
Juventus, who entered the competition after a disappointing Champions League group campaign in which they finished below Real Madrid and Galatasaray, edged out fellow Italian side Fiorentina to set up the clash with the French side. Lyon, currently fifth in Ligue 1, beat Viktoria Plzen in the last round.
Elsewhere, Benfica, last year’s beaten finalists, take on Dutch side AZ as their reward for beating Tottenham Hotspur.
Porto take on Sevilla in an all-Iberian clash while Valencia have been drawn against Swiss champions Basel, who were eliminated at the semifinal stage last season by eventual winners Chelsea.
Below is the UEFA Europa League Quarter Final pairings:
AZ Alkmaar vs Benfica
Lyon vs Juventus
Basel vs Valencia
Porto vs Sevilla
Ties to be played April 3 and 10
