Europa League Quarter-final Draw Revealed: Liverpool to face Atalanta, West Ham United to take on Bayer Leverkusen

In the latest development of the UEFA Europa League, Ademola Lookman’s Atalanta has been paired with Liverpool, while Victor Boniface’s Bayer Leverkusen is set to clash with West Ham United in the quarter-finals.

The European journey came to an end for Cyriel Dessers and Rangers as they faced a defeat against Benfica with a lone goal from Rafa Silva at the Ibrox Stadium in Scotland.

Meanwhile, Samuel Chukwueze made a significant contribution coming off the bench in Milan’s 3-1 victory over Slavia Prague, securing their spot in the quarter-finals. The seven-time UEFA Champions League winners are now scheduled to play against A.S. Roma on the 11th of April at the San Siro, with the return leg scheduled seven days later at the Olympic Stadium in Rome.

Ademola Lookman showcased his prowess by scoring his first Europa League goal of the 2023/2024 campaign, leading his team to a 2-1 victory over Viktor Gyokeres’ Sporting Lisbon, securing their spot in the next round.

Gasperini’s Atalanta is geared up for a challenging match as they travel to Anfield to face Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool, promising an intense encounter as the Merseysiders aim to give their coach a memorable send-off.

Over at the Bay Arena, Patrik Schick emerged as the hero coming off the bench to extend Bayer Leverkusen’s unbeaten run and rescue them from a potential exit in the Europa League round of sixteen.

With Boniface set to return by the end of the month, Bayer Leverkusen will be at full strength as they host David Moyes’ West Ham on the 11th of April, followed by a trip to London the following week.

The winner between Leverkusen and West Ham will face the victor of the clash between Roma and A.C. Milan in the subsequent round.

In an intriguing scenario, should Atalanta overcome Liverpool, they will await the winner between Angel Di Maria’s Benfica and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s Olympique De Marseille in the semi-finals.
