UEFA Europa League group runners-up are seeded above the teams that finish third in the UEFA

Champions League group stage.

Clubs from the same association cannot be drawn against each other.

The runners-up in the UEFA Europa League group stage play the return legs at home.

Draw procedure

Eight balls containing the names of the teams coming from UEFA Champions League are placed in a
bowl.

A first ball is drawn from the bowl. The team drawn is placed as the home team for the first leg of match 1.

In accordance with the above draw conditions, the computer then shows which UEFA Europa League
group stage runners-up are eligible to play the team drawn for match 1. These teams’ names are placed
in a bowl.

A ball is drawn from that bowl to complete the pairing for match 1. The team drawn is placed as the visiting
team for the first leg.

The above procedure is repeated for the remaining matches.

If the computer indicates that only one UEFA Europa League group stage runner-up can be drawn for a
particular match, that team is automatically assigned to the match and no ball is drawn.
