Europa League: Olympique Lyonnais inherits Glasgow Rangers, AS Monaco from PSV Eindhoven and OM from Laz – franceinfo

The draw for the Europa League was not particularly lenient with the French clubs. Olympique Lyonnais (hat 1), AS Monaco (hat 1) and the Olympique de Marseille (hat 3) will be entitled to good confrontations against Glasgow Rangers, PSV Eindhoven and Galatasaray respectively.

From hat 1, Olympique Lyonnais and AS Monaco were the first clubs to be drawn and were respectively placed in group A and B. The Lyonnais then inherited the Glasgow Rangers from Steven Gerrard, Sparta Prague and from Brondby.

6 – Lyon have won 6 of their 8 European matches against the opponents they will face in their Europa League group (1 draw v Sparta Prague in EL 2012/13 and 1 loss v Glasgow Rangers in CL 2007/08). Serene. #UEL #UELdraw pic.twitter.com/ZRs6tuE4Ls

AS Monaco, eliminated in the Champions League play-offs by Chakhtar Donetsk earlier in the week, will face PSV Eindhoven, Real Sociedad and Austrians Sturm Graz.

2 – Monaco has lost only 2 of its 10 matches against Dutch clubs on the European scene (5 wins, 3 draws), these 2 defeats having occurred against … PSV Eindhoven (0-1 then 0-2 8th in the 2004/05 Champions League). Warning. #UEL #UELdraw pic.twitter.com/nKVWgRMQZd

Olympique de Marseille, from hat 3, was placed in group E, very tough, with Lazio Rome, Lokomotiv Moscow and Galatasaray. Already in 2018, OM fell into the Lazio group during their disastrous Europa League campaign and lost in their two meetings against the Italians.

The 2021/22 Europa League group stage is set!

Most exciting group?#UELdraw pic.twitter.com/X5gEpxegzp
