Everton

Everton boss David Moyes on Jack Grealish: "We believe he's probably going to need surgery, but that's still not absolutely confirmed. It probably rules him out for the rest of the season, yes.

"It's really disappointing for the player, and for the club and all of us. He's such an important part, a big character, big experience for us. We will miss him, he's done a lot of good things for us."

On if it is too early to ask about Grealish potentially joining the club permanently in summer: "Far too early."

That message from David brings us to the end of our Champions League/Europa League play-off draw fun.

But the fun doesn't stop there and neither do the news conferences.

We've had plenty going on while we've been across that and there are still plenty more to come.

We'll kick things off with a couple of big lines from this morning, none more so than this update from David Moyes - and it's bad news for Jack Grealish.

Do the capital letters tell us anything about your excitement levels John?

Champions League

Getting ahead of ourselves Anthony?

We haven't got confirmed round-of-16 ties yet - that will be decided on 27 February, when each side's potential path to the final will also become clear.

However, you can now see the potential match-ups starting to take shape.

Here's who each side could face who in the last 16:

• Qarabag or Newcastle United v Chelsea or Barcelona
• Club Brugge or Atletico Madrid v Liverpool or Tottenham
• Bodo Glimt or Inter Milan v Man City or Sporting
• Olympiakos or Bayer Leverkusen v Bayern Munich or Arsenal
• Monaco or Paris St-Germain v Barcelona or Chelsea
• Galatasaray or Juventus v Liverpool or Tottenham
• Benfica or Real Madrid v Sporting or Man City
• Borussia Dortmund or Atalanta v Arsenal or Bayern Munich

Champions League

Right, in case you are just joining us, the draw for the knockout play-offs of the Champions League was made a little earlier today.

The ties include a trip to Azerbaijan for Newcastle, where they will face Qarabag, and a rematch of the thrilling Benfica v Real Madrid tie that we saw in the league phase. Not too bad, at all.

The eight ties have been split into two pathways - silver and blue. Sides in each pathway cannot play each other until the final.

Here is the draw for the knockout play-offs in full:

Silver pathway

• Monaco v Paris St-Germain
• Galatasaray v Juventus
• Benfica v Real Madrid
• Borussia Dortmund v Atalanta

Blue pathway

• Qarabag v Newcastle United
• Club Brugge v Atletico Madrid
• Bodo/Glimt v Inter Milan
• Olympiakos v Bayer Leverkusen

Europa League

Aston Villa finished second in the league phase of the Europa League so qualified directly for the last 16.

They will find out who they will play when the draw for the last 16 is made on 27 February.

Villa will either play the winners of the tie between Lille and Crvena Zvezda - if they are placed in the orange pathway - or the victors of PAOK v Celta - if they are drawn in the silver pathway.

Should Villa end up in the orange pathway, they could play either Celtic or Nottingham Forest in the semi-final.

Europa League

If Celtic get past Stuttgart, they will face either Sporting Braga or Porto in the last 16.

Nottingham Forest, meanwhile, will next play either Real Betis or FC Midtjylland if they beat Fenerbahce in the play-offs.

A draw for the last 16 will be made on 27 February.

Remember, Celtic and Forest will play each other in the last eight, should they win their next two ties in the Europa League.

Europa League

Here's the full draw for the Europa League knockout play-offs, including which pathway each team is on.

Silver path:

• GNK Dinamo v Genk
• PAOK v Celta

Orange path:

• Celtic v Stuttgart
• Fenerbahce v Nottingham Forest
• Brann v Bologna
• Lille v Crvena Zvezda

Europa League

Celtic and Nottingham Forest have been put on the same pathway in the Europa League and could play each other in the quarter-finals, if they can make it through their knockout play-offs and last-16 ties.

Europa League

We have not forgotten the Europa League.

The draw for the knockout play-offs has just been made.

Here is who the two British sides have drawn:

• Celtic v Stuttgart
• Fenerbahce v Nottingham Forest

Jose Mourinho's Benfica dramatically defeated Real Madrid on Wednesday to record his first win over his former side.

Mourinho has only played Madrid twice since he managed the Spanish giants from 2010-2013.

Mourinho's record against Real Madrid [Mourinho's sides in bold]:

• Real Madrid 1-0 Porto (2002)
• Porto 1-2 Real Madrid (2002)
• Porto 1-3 Real Madrid (2003)
• Real Madrid 1-1 Porto (2003)
• Real Madrid 2-1 Man Utd (Super Cup, 2017)
• Benfica 4-2 Real Madrid (2026)

Jose Mourinho has been a serial winner throughout his career and won everything there is to win.

That was no different during his time at Real Madrid, too, where he led the side to the La Liga title and victories in both domestic cup competitions.

The one that escaped him during his time in the Spanish capital, though? The Champions League trophy.

Despite Madrid being the most decorated club in Europe when it comes to Champions League titles - Mourinho never could quite get over the line with the Los Blancos.

He reached the semi-final stage in three consecutive seasons with the club but could never reach the final hurdle.

Mourinho's Real Madrid honours:

• Spanish Cup (2010-11)
• La Liga title (2011-12)
• Spanish Super Cup (2012-13)

Well, you just knew it was going to happen.

After the incredible ending to the game in Portugal on Wednesday evening which saw Benfica creep into the final play-off spot - the two will face off again.

Benfica boss Jose Mourinho has already shown he has got the beating of his former side and will fancy his chances of creating more history on the European stage.

The Portuguese coach is a two-time winner of the competition with both Porto and Inter Milan but he hasn't got his hands on the big one since lifting it with Inter back in 2011.

So Newcastle facing Qarabag is one great story from the knockout play-offs draw.

Another is the all-Ligue 1 tie between Monaco and Paris-St Germain.

But the tie of the round has to be Benfica v Real Madrid (parts II & III).

The sequels have a lot to live up to.

No-one could have scripted what happened in their first encounter, which provided a suitably dramatic finale to the league phase.

Goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin headed in a 98th minute goal to seal a 4-2 victory that clinched Benfica's place in the knockout play-offs on goal difference.

Many people may be surprised to see Qarabag still in the competition at this stage, but they've pulled off some impressive wins to get here.

They became the first Azerbaijani side to record back-to-back Champions League wins as they beat Copenhagen 2-0, after winning their opening tie against Benfica.

Since then, they were beaten by Napoli and Liverpool away from home, and were also beaten 4-2 by Ajax in Azerbaijan.

But a surprise draw with Chelsea and a hard-fought victory over Frankfurt ensured their spot in the top 24, and showed that they're more than capable of pulling off an upset in this season's competition.
