Lech Poznan, who qualified at the expense of Juventus from the same group as Manchester City, will face Braga, one of eight teams parachuted in from the Champions League after failing to progress in Europe's top club competition - something many observers feel devalues the Europa League.

Neither team can now be considered among Europe's elite, with Ajax outclassed by Real Madrid as they were knocked out in the group stage in their first Champions League appearance for five seasons.
