Here is the full draw:
| Braga | vs. | Shakhtar Donetsk |
| Villarreal | vs. | Sparta Prague |
| Athletic Bilbao | vs. | Sevilla |
| Borussia Dortmund | vs. | Liverpool |
The quarter-final first-leg fixtures will commence on Thursday, April 7, and the return legs will take place the following week on April 14.
Spain Dominates the Draw
Like in the UEFA Champions League, Spain has the most representatives in the final eight, with three sides making it through to the quarter-finals of the Europa League.
The other five—from Germany, England, Portugal, Ukraine and the Czech Republic—are each their country's sole participants left in the tournament.
After Lazio's exit in the last round, Liverpool have the opportunity to help England open up some much-needed breathing room over Italy in UEFA's coefficient rankings—the rankings that determine how many European places each country receives.
After drawing Klopp's former team, the Reds' chances of reaching the final four have taken a serious blow, though.
Dortmund have romped through the competition right from the start of the qualifying rounds last summer, scoring 35 goals in their 14 matches for the campaign.
BVB have one of the in-form strikers in European football leading their line in Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and an array of talent behind him, such as Marco Reus and Henrikh Mkhitaryan, so expect them to produce a thrilling encounter with the Reds.
