The last pair to come out of the pot during the draw at UEFA headquarters was PAOK vs FC Schalke 04. The two sides will compete for a place in the “last 16” stage of the UEFA Europa League. They will first meet in Toumba Stadium on 16 February and play the second leg in “Veltins Arena” of Gelsenkirchen a week later (23 February).

PAOK and FC Schalke 04 had met in August 2013, in the play-offs of the UEFA Champions League. After two sensational encounters, the German side progressed to the group stage on a 4-3 aggregate, drawing 1-1 in Gelsenkirchen and winning 3-2 behind closed doors in Toumba Stadium.
