The day after the draw for the Champions League, which offered Paris Saint-Germain heavyweight with Borussia Dortmund, AC Milan and Newcastle, Olympique de Marseille, Stade Rennes and Toulouse were also able to discover their European hen.
And the balls were not kind with the Marseillais, who will face, in the Europa League, Ajax Amsterdam, Brighton and AEK Athens. Even if the Champions League semi-final in 2019 is now a long way off for the Amsterdammers, they remain extremely dangerous and could pose problems for OM. Also watch out for Brighton, who can count on twirling attackers like Mitoma or Welbeck.
No big poster for Rennes, Liverpool for Toulouse
The draw was much more lenient for Stade Rennes. With Villarreal, Maccabi Haifa and Panathinaikos, the Bretons have a real chance of qualifying for the round of 16 of the competition. No very bright poster on the other hand for the supporters, who will have to travel a lot to follow their team.
Winners of the Coupe de France, Toulouse FC will also feature in the group stage of the Europa League. And Toulouse will face a big piece, Liverpool. The Reds, struggling last season and only fifth in the Premier League, have offered the services of Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister to strengthen their midfield and regain color. Union Saint-Gilloise and the Austrian club LASK will also visit the Pink City.
Lille against Bratislava, Ljubljana and Klaksvik
The list of teams involved did not suggest big posters for LOSC, and this was the case. Lille have avoided the big chunks of Fiorentina, Aston Villa or Besiktas and will have a very affordable group to qualify. Slovan Bratislava, Olimpija Ljubljana and Klaksvik, the small club from the Faroe Islands which created the surprise during qualifying, will be the three opponents.
