Acceptable draw for Petkovic's Lazio, the last Italian remaining in contention in the quarter-finals of the Europa League: the biancocelesti will face the formidable Turks of Fenerbahce (with the return match at home on 11 April) but at least they avoided the bogeymen Chelsea – at this point the favorite team – and Rubin Kazan, who the coach had openly expressed on the eve of not liking due to the long and complicated away match in Siberia.
Here are the matches drawn from the UEFA urn in Switzerland (first leg on 4 April, return leg on 11): Chelsea-Rubin Kazan, Tottenham-Basel, Fenerbahce-Lazio, Benfica-Newcastle. The teams listed first will play the first leg at home.
