2010-11 UEFA Europa League, Round of 16

2010-11 UEFA Europa League Knockout Phase, Round of 16…1st Leg matches, on Thursday, 10 March – with 4 matches to kick off at 7:00 pm GMT (2:00 pm ET), and 4 matches to kick off at 9:05 pm GMT (4:05 pm ET) – fuxture list here (from UEFA.com).

Like I did with the 2010-11 Champions League Round of 16 {here}, besides the main map (which you can see by clicking on the image above, and features club crests sized to reflect 2009-10 average attendance from domestic home league matches), I have made two extra pages of material which show the match-ups, with profile boxes, of the 16 clubs still alive here. The profile boxes feature 2 stadium photos. If you want to see a larger image of any given photo, you can find the links to the photos in the Photo credits section at the bottom of this post.

The matchups/club ptofile boxes are split up into two separate pages – the first one shows the 4 fixtures that will be played first, on Thursday 10 March, at 7pm GMT. The second shows the 4 fixtures that will start 2 hours and five minutes later, at 9:05 pm GMT.

The following gif has the 4 match-ups featuring a 1st Leg game with a 7:00 pm GMT kick-off:
Bayer Leverkusen v. Villarreal CF.
SC Braga v. Liverpool.
PSV [Eindhoven] v. Rangers.
CSKA Moscow v. FC Porto.
