That's your lot!
The brave new world of video link draws came with plenty of technological drawbacks, but we have our fixtures for the rest of the season in both the Champions League and Europa League.
Thanks for joining us. Recap on how the draws unfolded below!
Mixed bag for Man Utd
If United reach the semi-finals they will take on Olympiakos, Wolves, Sevilla or Roma, none of whom will be easy. However, the quarter-final draw is far more favourable, with Turkish side Basaksehir and Copenhagen more than beatable.
The draw has kept United separate from Inter Milan, who signed Romelu Lukaku and Ashley Young from United this season and still have Alexis Sanchez on loan.
Europa League glory offers United a route back into the Champions League but if they win their remaining four Premier League fixtures they will secure a qualifying spot before the Europa League restarts in August.
12:30 - Could it be harder for Wolves?

Manchester United, barring a miracle from Austrian club LASK, will progress to the last eight in Germany as they have a 5-0 lead from the first leg, which was played behind closed doors, just before lockdown.
Wolves are in a strong position, too, as they are level at 1-1 with Olympiakos after the first leg which was played in Greece.
12:10 - How are the games split?
Unlike the Champions League, the final tournament in the Europa League is not just in one city. Germany will be the host nation, but the games will be spread across four cities. The stadiums are:
- Stadion Koln in Cologne (final venue)
- MSV Arena in Duisburg
- Dusseldorf Arena in Dusseldorf
- Arena AufSchalke in Gelsenkirchen
12:00 - Europa League draw time!
It is now time for the Europa League draw. There is still some last-16 ties to be finalised, but here is a list of key dates:
- Europa League last-16: August 5/6 (kick-off 5.55pm, 8pm BST)
- Europa League quarter-finals: August 10/11 (8pm BST)
- Europa League semi-finals: August 16/17 (8pm BST)
- Europa League final: August 21 (8pm BST)
11:55 - Well, when you put it like that...
11:50 - Pleasant introductions
11:40 - Tough draw for PL clubs
Chelsea have it all to do to even reach the last eight, given they trail 3-0 against Bayern Munich anyway, but with Barca or Napoli a potential opponent, they could not have gotten it tougher.
It is slightly better for Manchester City, who are still awaiting the verdict on their appeal against a European ban next season, Pep Guardiola's side must come through the second leg of their last-16 tie with Real Madrid. Should they do that, City can look forward to a one-legged tie with Juventus or Lyon.
PSG and Atletico are the real winners from this, on paper. Leipzig and Atalanta cannot be underestimated, though.
11:30 - Advantage PSG?
11:30 - Semi-final draw in full
- Manchester City/Real Madrid/Lyon/Juventus v Napoli/Barcelona/Chelsea/Bayern
Leipzig/ Atletico Madrid v Atalanta/PSG
11:25 - Quarter-final draw in full
- Atalanta v PSG
- Napoli or Barcelona v Chelsea or Bayern
- Leipzig v Atletico Madrid
- Manchester City or Real Madrid v Lyon or Juventus
11:20 - Here we go!
UEFA deputy general secretary Giorgio Marchetti is here and the draw is upon us. Paulo Sousa is here to help out.
Don't forget, seedings and country protection are removed at the quarter-final stage of the Champions League, meaning any side can draw any side from here on.
11:15 - Technical problems already!
Both representatives from Real Madrid and Atletico suffered technical problems and we could not hear what they had to say! The new world is not so smooth! Tune in to Eurosport to see presenter Pedro Pinto try his best to mask the difficulties!
11:10 - Giorgio Chiellini reveals coronavirus training schedule
"It was not so easy staying in shape, especially for the older players like me. I woke up early in the morning to train for two hours, then real training started, training behind my daughter. We are so happy to be back, playing in our league, and looking forward to starting the Champions League again."
11:05 - Even the draw is socially distanced
Club representatives cannot be present in Nyon due to coronavirus restrictions, but someone from each club can join in via video link. We will still hear their reaction, as the draw is made.

In the Europa League, Wolves are in a good position to progress through to the quarter-finals as they are level at 1-1 with Olympiakos after the first leg which was played in Greece.
Manchester United, barring a miracle from Austrian club LASK, will progress as they have a 5-0 lead from the first leg.
