Conference League results after round of 16 and potential pairings for quarter-finals

Conference League, the third tier of European club competitions, has also held the round of 16 on Thursday, at the same time as Europa League. This year, the presence of Chelsea determines the whole competition (they have a 44.5% chance of winning the cup, according to an Opta supercomputer) but that doesn't discourage the rest clubs from all of Europe.

That includes Panathinaikos, who earned a victory over second favourite Fiorentina, while Betis -which defeated Real Madrid last weekend- only earned a 2-2 draw against Portuguese club Vitória Guimaraes.
