The Europa League Round of 16 continues with the intensity and dominance of the big teams in Europe.

Teams like AS Roma and Liverpool won big against their opponents.

Since the sacking of Jose Mourinho, AS Roma manager De Rossi has taken AS Roma to the next level.

They took their impressive performance from Serie A to the Europa League, where they defeated one of the finest teams in the Premier League, Brighton, 4-0.

Brighton, on the other hand, lost three consecutive matches for the first time under De Zerbi.

Jurgen Klopp's side, Liverpool, are one step closer to the quarterfinals of the Europa League after defeating Sparta Praha at home.

Despite having to play a title-deciding game in the Premier League against Manchester City, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp started his best player against Sparta Praha.

Mac Allister opened the scoreline in the 9th minute of the game through a penalty, and Darwin Nunez scored two goals before the end of the first half.

Luis Diaz and Dominik Szoboslai completed the rout against the Sparta Praha side.

The win signifies the club's readiness for the match against Manchester City at Anfield.

Bayer Leverkusen continued their unbeaten run in the Europa League after coming back from two goals down to secure a draw against Qarabag FK.

West Ham got defeated by Bundesliga side SC Freiburg in the Europa League Round of 16.

However, there are chances that the last-season Europa conference League winners may qualify for the next round of the Europa League, if they overcome the Bundesliga side in the second leg.

The Portuguese giant, Benfica, played a 2-2 draw at home against Rangers. It was a very interesting match, filled with intensity and tactical changes between the two teams.

AC Milan defeated Slavia Praha by four goals to two. The AC Milan victory came after Slavia Praha defender Malick Diouf was sent off in the 20th minute of the match.

Oliver Giroud opened the score line for AC Milan with a beautiful header in the first half of the game. Slavia Praha midfielder Doudera equalizes with a wonderful goal.

Before the end of the first half, Reijnders scored the second goal for AC Milan. Former Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek scored the third goal of the game for AC Milan.

Slavia Praha responded in the second half, with AC Milan's Pulisic scoring the final goal of the game.
