In the Round of 16 draw of the Europa League, Nuno Espirito Santo’s side drew a Greek outfit, Olympiakos (via Tim Spiers), which had some supporters delighted.

Are you happy with Olympiakos in the next round of the Europa League?Yes, it's a good draw
No, it's a tricky one

To get to this stage of the competition, the Old Gold finished runners up in Group K (per UEFA) and defeated La Liga side, Espanyol, over two legs in the Round of 32 (per BBC).
While some supporters were delighted after drawing the Greek outfit in the next round of the competition, other supporters were a little warier following Tim Spiers’ update.
Boring, the Europa league just like a series of neverending friendlies

Dodgy draw that, definitely not who’d I’d have wanted

What do we think?
With Olympiakos having knocked out Arsenal in their Round of 32 tie on away goals (as per BBC), it will not be an easy tie for the Old Gold by any means.
With Internazionale, Manchester United and AS Roma being a handful of the sides still in the competition (per UEFA), though, the draw certainly could have been harsher on Wolves.
