Europa League draw LIVE - Liverpool discover quarter-final opponents
Liverpool are in the hat for the Europa League quarter-finals.
The Reds hammered Sparta Prague in the second leg of their last-16 tie at Anfield on Thursday night to win 11-2 on aggregate and take one step closer to the final in Dublin.
Goals from Darwin Nunez, Mohamed Salah, Bobby Clark, Dominik Szoboszlai and two from Cody Gakpo saw the Reds romp top a 6-1 victory to ease into the quarter-finals of the competition.
And they could take on some familiar faces in the final eight with huge clubs from around Europa booking their place in the quarter-finals last night. The final takes place at Dublin's Aviva Stadium on May 22 in what could be Jurgen Klopp's final game in charge of the club should Liverpool make it all the way.
Xabi Alonso's Bayer Leverkusen and David Moyes' West Ham United are just two of the clubs in the final eight, with other giants such as AC Milan and Marseille in the hat. Indeed, Alonso's men staged an improbable comeback from two goals down to win 3-2 against Qarabag and move into the next round. Roma beat Premier League side Brighton & Hove Albion 4-1 on aggregate and Benfica overcame Rangers.
