Fiorentina, where Egypt winger Mohamed Salah has excelled over the past weeks, paired with Dynamo Kiev in the quarterfinals of the UEFA Europa League.
Defending champion Sevilla will take on Russian side Zenit St. Petersburg in the quarterfinals of the Europa League, and Napoli will play against Bundesliga club Wolfsburg for the first time.
Sevilla, which advanced at the expense of Villarreal to stay on course to win the continent's second-tier competition for a fourth time in 10 years, will host the Russian club in the first leg on April 16, with the return leg on April 23.
Russian and Ukrainian sides could not meet in the quarterfinals under a decision of the UEFA Emergency Committee because of the crisis involving the countries.
Egyptian ace Salah, who moved to Fiorentina on loan from Chelsea in the last transfer window, has enjoyed a scintillating form with the Italian side, scoring six goals in ten appearances in all competitions.
On Thursday the 22-year-old was twice denied by the post during Viola's 3-0 win over AS Roma in the Europa League.
