Eintracht Frankfurt to face Inter Milan in Europa League last 16
There is just one Bundesliga club still standing in the UEFA Europa League, but the way Eintracht Frankfurt have coasted through to the last 16, they will fancy their chances of going all the way to Baku in May.
Frankfurt have been practically flawless in reaching the last 16, winning seven out of eight games and scoring more goals - 23 - than any other club in the competition. The only blot was a 2-2 draw at Shakhtar Donetsk, but they flexed their muscles to sweep the Ukrainians aside with a 4-1 win earning them a place in Friday's draw.
Their next opponents are Italian giants Inter, but after already seeing off Marseille, Lazio, Apollon Limassol and Shakhtar already, Adi Hütter's men will not be afraid of their next challenge on the path to Azerbaijan.
Inter started the season in the UEFA Champions League, but a 1-1 draw in their final group fixture with PSV Eindhoven meant they finished third behind Barcelona and Tottenham Hotspur due to their inferior head-to-head record compared to the English Premier League club.
In the last 32, the side currently sitting third in Serie A disposed of Rapid Vienna 5-0 on aggregate.
The fixtures will be played on 7 and 14 March with Frankfurt hosting their Serie A rivals in the first leg before travelling to Milan for the return fixture a week later.
