West Ham are in the Europa League quarter-finals
West Ham were drawn in the Europa League quarter-final against Lyon.
It is the first time the Hammers have been drawn against a French side in a major European competition, even though they beat Metz in an Intertoto Cup final in 1999.
London Stadium is only getting used to European football, can you imagine what it would be like for David Moyes’ team to draw a potential semi-final against Barcelona?

Europa League draw
West Ham are in the Europa League quarter-final against Lyon in a difficult match. If they manage to get through that, they could face Barcelona in the semi-finals.
Rangers meanwhile have a decent tie if they come up against Portuguese side Braga. At this stage of the competition no game is easy but Rangers will be over the moon with that drawing.
The two British sides were drawn on opposite sides of the competition, which means that the only way for them to meet is when both reach the finals.
