Europa League draw sets challenging paths for Real Sociedad and Celta Vigo
The UEFA Europa League draw for the 2026-2027 season has determined the league phase opponents for several major clubs, including Spanish sides Real Sociedad and Celta Vigo, as well as Italian giants Juventus and AC Milan.
Real Sociedad, the current Copa del Rey champions, will face a challenging path including Juventus, Olympique Lyon, Crystal Palace, and Bournemouth. They are also scheduled to play Viktoria Pilsen, Union Saint-Gilloise, Torreense, and Lillestrom. The club is projected to earn a minimum of 13 million euros from their participation, with potential earnings rising based on performance.
Celta Vigo faces a similarly difficult schedule, with matchups against Juventus, Olympique Marseille, Celtic Glasgow, Bournemouth, Union Saint-Gilloise, Lillestrom, Omonia Nicosia, and Hapoel Beer-Sheva.
In Italy, Juventus will compete against Real Sociedad, AZ Alkmaar, Rennes, Ferencvaros, Omonia, Celta Vigo, NEC Nijmegen, and Hapoel Beer-Sheva. AC Milan's opponents include Benfica, Olympiacos, Ferencvaros, Salzburg, Sunderland, Bournemouth, Ararat-Armenia, and Levski Sofia. Analysts suggest that for clubs like Juventus and Milan, reaching at least the semifinals should be a minimum objective.
