Who won last season's Europa League?
Atletico Madrid are the holders of the competition, winners of the 2018 final against Marseille where they cruised to a 3-0 victory thanks to goals from Antoine Griezmann and Gabi.
The trophy marked the first time that Fernando Torres lifted any major honour with his boyhood club.
The La Liga side will not be participating in the Europa League group stage as they have already automatically qualified for the Champions League, though could end up in the competition should they fail to progress past the group stages of the latter.
