In the draw at UEFA headquarters in Nyon, former Hungarian footballer Zoltán Gera linked Feyenoord with the team from Rome. It was a repeat of last season’s Conference League final. Then the team won against Jose Mourinho who was still the coach.
The other fixtures in the second European tournament are Manchester United-Seville, Juventus-Sporting Portugal and Bayer Leverkusen-Union Saint-Gilles.
By victory: Leverkusen or Union Sint-Gillis
If Feyenoord manage to control Roma, they will play in the semifinal against the winner of the duel between Bayer Leverkusen and Union Sint-Gillis.
The team from Rotterdam reached the next round last night after a gala performance against Shakhtar: Ukraine were beaten 7-1 in Maasstad.
The Europa League final will be played in Budapest on May 31.
AZ in the socket

This afternoon AZ also already knows which opponent it will face in the Conference League quarter-finals. Alkmaarders hampered yesterday with a win over Italian Lazio.
