The draw for the 2021/22 UEFA Europa Conference League round of 16 has been made at UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.
The likes of Marseille, Roma and PSV have discovered their UEFA Europa Conference League round of 16 opponents following the draw in Nyon, Switzerland.
Leicester avoided what were the big guns on paper in the Europa Conference League Round of 16 draw, but will square off against a team with a plus 24 goal difference this season.
The UEFA Europa Conference League group winners were seeded and drawn against the winners of the knockout round play-offs, with the seeded teams playing the second leg at home. Clubs from the same association could not be drawn against each other.
The winners of the eight ties earn a place in the draw for the UEFA Europa Conference League quarter-finals and semi-finals on 18 March. A draw will also be made to determine the home team for the final, for procedural reasons.
