Old acquaintances among Barça's possible rivals in the round of 32 of the Europa League, whose draw will be on Monday at 1:00 p.m. in Nyon (Switzerland). Cristiano Ronaldo's Manchester United, the ineffable José Mourinho's Roma and former Blaugrana Luuk de Jong's PSV Eindhoven can be paired with Barcelona, with the first leg at the Camp Nou.
Manchester United, fifth in the Premier League, 8 points behind Arsenal, finished second in Group E after beating Real Sociedad with a goal from Ferreyra (0-1); with equal points (15), the people from San Sebastian are ranked first by goal difference (8 to 7).
Roma were also second in their group C - led by Betis - after the Italian victory over Ludogorets (3-1). Mourinho's men, who face Lazio this Saturday in the capital's duel, are fourth in Serie A, 7 points behind the leader, Napoli.
The other five possible opponents of Barça are three from the French League, Rennes, a revelation in their country (3rd), Monaco (6th) and Nantes (15th); in addition to the Danish Midtjylland – the Cinderella of the eight – and the surprising Union Berlin, leader of the Bundesliga with Urs Fischer on the bench.
