When is the Europa League play-off draw and who could Barcelona face?

Barcelona are back in the Europa League for the second season in a row after being dumped out of a tricky Champions League group including Bayern Munich, Inter, and Viktoria Plzen.

Xavi’s side will not face a play-off to get into the knockout stages of the Europa League and will take a team that finished second in their group.

The draw will take place on Monday, November 7 at 1pm CET in Switzerland and will pit eight group runners-up from the Europa League against eight Champions League drop-outs.

And here’s who Barcelona could face:

  • PSV
  • Rennes
  • Roma
  • Union Berlin
  • Midtjylland
  • Manchester United
  • Nantes
  • Monaco

The Europa League group winners go straight into the last 16 and will discover their opponents in the next draw in February.
