That concludes our coverage of the Round of 16 draw.
Stick with VAVEL this weekend for comprehensive coverage of Premier League Matchweek 28.
A reminder that these ties will be played on Thursday 12 and Thursday 19 March.
Who will be happiest?
Manchester United's odds of winning this competition will just have been slashed.
LASK have pulled off some very impressive results this season - perhaps most notably a 4-1 win at home to PSV in November - and they top the Austrian Bundesliga.
So won't necessarily be easy for United, but if they could have picked an opponent, the newcomers would certainly have been in the discussion.
Tie of the round?
The pick of the bunch there has to be Sevilla against Roma. Both teams have real European pedigree and it should be very closely-matched.
Other eye-catching ties include Rangers vs Leverkusen, where the Scots will look to pull off a huge upset, and Olympiacos vs Wolves. Can they succeed where Arsenal spectacularly failed?

But stick with us for instant analysis.
Two teams to watch
Let's pick out one particularly mouthwatering potential combination: Rangers vs Manchester United.
What a spectacle that would be at Ibrox, and then the Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard would take his team to Old Trafford.
Fingers crossed for match-ups like that!
When will the games be played?
The first legs are set for Thursday, 12 March and the second legs for the following week.
This will realign the competition with its big brother, the Champions League.
The key difference
Now that it's the Round of 16, there are no more seedings. That means, to put it simply, anyone can meet anyone.
So who is in the hat?
A rundown of the sides involved then:
Basel
Copenhagen
Getafe
Inter
Istanbul Basaksehir
LASK
Leverkusen
Manchester United
Olympiacos
Rangers
Sevilla
Shakhtar
Wolfsburg
Wolves
Eintracht OR Salzburg
One tie still to be played
There will be one unconfirmed tie on Friday afternoon, with Salzburg set to meet Frankfurt at 18.00 in a fixture rearranged due to a storm warning.
Frankfurt should progress after winning the first leg 4-1.
The big stories of the Round of 32
It was a dramatic night of second legs on Thursday, with perhaps the biggest upset coming at the Emirates, where Olympiacos stunned Arsenal moments after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang thought he had secured the Gunners' spot in the last 16.
Elsewhere, 2019 Champions League semifinalists Ajax fell to Getafe and Istanbul Basaksehir overturned a 3-1 first-leg deficit to knock out Sporting.
There were varying fortunes for Glasgow rivals Rangers and Celtic, the former pulling off a memorable victory over Braga before the latter were dumped out by Copenhagen on home soil following two late goals for the visitors.
Roma, Bayer Leverkusen, Manchester United, Inter Milan and Sevilla all made it safely through.
When is the draw?
We'll have live updates from 12.00 UK time. That's when the draw gets underway in Nyon, Switzerland.
