European footy is well and truly back for February and these days the Europa League really feels like a pretty big deal, even if weâre effectively at the round of 32 stage with the knockout round playoffs, which begin this evening with four first legs kicking off at 5.45pm (UK time).

There are no British teams in this round. Liverpool, Brighton, West Ham and Rangers all topped their groups to get a direct route to the last 16, with Feyenoord v Roma â a repeat of last yearâs Europa League quarter final, and of the 2022 Europa Conference League final â the pick of the action this early evening. Shakhtar Donetsk v Marseille takes place in Hamburg and looks pretty tasty, while Galatasaray v Sparta Prague and Young Boys v Sporting are pretty high-quality ties as well.

There are also four more 5.45pm kick-offs in the Europa Conference Leagueâs very own knockout round, featuring the likes of Olympiakos and Eintracht Frankfurt. So stay tuned and soak in as much European soccerball as you can muster.

important events
10 minutes: It’s a close call for Dybala, almost 1-0 with Roma! Pellegrini grabbed the pass and cut the Feyenoord defense in two, Werenreuther was brought down and Dybala caught up and fired.
So who dreams of scoring the first goal of the round? As of now, they have been goalless in all four games. There hasn’t been a lack of intent so far, especially from the away side.
there is a healthy crowd The match between Shakhtar Donetsk and Marseille was held inside Hamburg’s Volksparkstadion, and the Ukrainian side showed a brighter start after about seven minutes.
5 minutes: There was a happy incident from Roma as Lukaku placed a delicious backheel into the path of Bovet, but it ultimately didn’t go well for the 21-year-old midfielder. The visitor has a very sharp look on his face.
2 minutes: Oh, there’s a bit of a uniform clash going on between Feyenoord and Roma. For red, white, and black, add red numbers to black and white. Why does this even happen in modern soccer?
Roma have Chris Smalling, Houssem Aouar, Stephan El Shaarawy and Renato Sanchez on the bench. Both teams got off to a deliberate start in Rotterdam.
kick off
Well, we’re ready to rock and roll with four games at 5:45pm GMT. let’s go!

All about Bayern and this week’s European thrills and tidbitsenjoy Football Daily – ‘Hot Away From The Press’ on Thursday nights in Shandy.
There was at least one surprising result Bayern Munich lost to Lazio, but Spurs’ best impression resulted in a win in the opening four-legged Champions League last-16 tie earlier this week. Poor old Haza Kane.
What will be the surprise in this Europa League play-off round? Galatasaray and Sporting need to be considered heavy favorites to move beyond these ties. After that, powerhouses AC Milan and Benfica are also expected to pass. However, there is not much difference between it and many other sides.
More team news: North London ruled out Galatasaray’s Davinson Sanchez and Lucas Torreira to start against Sparta Prague, led by Euro veterans Mauro Icardi and Dries Mertens.
Marseille’s line-up against Shakhtar Donetsk will have another player in Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who will start for the French side. Les Olympians also have former Spurs back-up goalkeeper Pau Lopez.
Sporting’s team is an exciting bunch of young talent. Keep an eye out for Gonaro Inácio (22), Daniel Bragana (24) and, of course, Marcus Edwards (still 25), who is the same age as up-and-coming striker Victor Guqueres.
