Draw for the UEFA Europa League Round of 32 pairs Arsenal with Greek team Olympiacos, Belgian team Club Brugge against another English powerhouse Man United and Turkey's Istanbul Basaksehir against Portugal's Sporting Lisbon
“We’ve not had a lot of luck in the draw,” Getafe’s sporting director Angel Martin Gonzales said. “They’re a big side but that helps us grow, too.”

AS Roma play Gent while former European champions Porto face Bayer Leverkusen, one of three German clubs in the draw. Sevilla, the most successful club in Europa League history with five titles, play Romanian outfit CFR Cluj.United are one of three English clubs in the last 32 with Arsenal handed a testing tie against Greek club Olympiakos Piraeus. Wolverhampton Wanderers face Espanyol in what will be their first clash with a Spanish club since losing 9-2 on aggregate to Barcelona in the 1959-60 European Cup quarter-finals.
“It’s a big challenge for us to play against Arsenal, last year’s UEFA Europa League finalists,” Olympiakos coach Pedro Martins said. “They may not have started well in the Premier League this season, but they have great players, are dangerous and deserve our respect.” Scotland’s former European champions Celtic are up against Copenhagen while Rangers face Portuguese club Braga.
