[ad_1]

FC Red Bull Salzburg will face FC Villareal in the UEFA Europa League round of 32. That was the result of today’s draw in Nyon (SUI). “For me, he is a very strong and interesting opponent with a good coach who has a lot of experience in the knockout phase of the Europa League. And they are fourth in La Liga! We just saw how high the level is there against Atlético de Madrid, “said Jesse Marsch about how difficult it was.

Andre Ramalho already met Villareal

Andre Ramalho knows the Spanish rival well: “Villarreal is a very interesting opponent. I’ve played against them twice already (note: two games each with FC Red Bull Salzburg and Bayer Leverkusen), sadly not as successful both times. Without a doubt they are very good and they are fourth in the First Division. You also have a coach who has a lot of experience in the Europa League. But now we have gained experience in the Champions League, which we take with us in this duel. We are ready for this game, ”said the Brazilian about the lot.

FC Red Bull Salzburg have already faced Villareal twice in the Europa League: in 2009 the Red Bulls celebrated two victories (2-0 at home and 1-0 away) in the group stage in 2014 they lost two of their best 32 (1: 3 at home or 1: 2 away).

The first leg will take place in Salzburg on February 18, 2021. A week later (February 25, 2021) the return match will take place in Villareal.
