The little brother to the Champions League has been maligned over the years, but it is one of the biggest prizes in European football.

As well as a snazzy bit of silverware, the prize of a place in the following season’s Champions League means the competition is taken pretty seriously by teams intent on regaining a place at the top table once the knockout rounds swing into action.

Eintracht Frankfurt needed a penalty shootout to get the better of Rangers in last season’s final but they will soon be handing the trophy over as they progressed to the last 16 of this term’s Champions League.

Arsenal and Manchester United represent the Premier League in the knockout phase of the Europa League, while Sevilla, the most successful side in the history of the tournament, are once again in the running after dropping down from the Champions League.
