ARSENAL HAVE BEEN drawn to face CSKA Moscow in the Europa League quarter-finals.
Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid, who are the favourites to win the competition along with the Premier League outfit, have been paired with Sporting CP in the last eight. The other ties see RB Leipzig tackle Marseille and Lazio face Salzburg.
The Europa League now looks the Gunners’ most realistic chance of reaching the Champions League next season, as they lie 12 points shy of fourth-placed Liverpool, though they face a Russian side that dumped out Lyon from the competition on away goals at the last-16 stage.
These fixtures will be played on 5 and 12 April.
Europa League quarter-finals draw:
Leipzig v Marseille
Arsenal v CSKA Moscow
Atletico Madrid v Sporting CP
Lazio v Salzburg
Great performance alright. What a turn around from keats. Great to see him playing with a smile again. Onwards and upwards for munster.
Apparently the birth of his kid changed how he views rugby. He’s in a completely different head space compared to two years ago and it shows on the pitch. Delighted for the guy.
@borgig: could be not being booed by his own fans too
Great to see him come on so strong. Our great leader Joe always kept faith in him when others didn’t. He’s going to get a fair bit of 6 nations rugby and maybe a World Cup too.
In fairness to Keatley, he showed some cojones to come back from the early set backs, even though he’s right about the pass from Murray! Kick to touch seemed to bring the confidence back after that. Don’t think he was as good as everyone seems to think he was but the first choice at 10 in Munster for sure!
Good to see him with a smile on his face on the pitch too!
Good man Keatley you Legend!!!
I’m delighted for Keatley. I think he deserves the praise for his recent good form & hope he keeps it up. If he can keep improving maybe the naysayers will fall away. Hopefully he has another gear. Good luck to him.
