The competition will now head into playoff games after the conclusion of the league phase.
It will be interesting to see the 16 teams’ opponents who placed from 9th to 24th after the league phase of the Europa League. The teams that finished in the top eight advanced straight to the round of 16. Teams that placed 25th through 36th are out.
To determine which clubs advance to the last-16 knockout stage, the Europa League will debut its revamped play-offs format in February.
The winners of the play-offs will join the top eight sides, who automatically advanced to the round of sixteen from the Europa League league-phase table. Teams who finished ninth to twenty-fourth in the league standings will have a series of two-leg matches between them.
