Gent v Genk, Celta v Celtic: when near namesakes collide

Gent v Genk, Celta v Celtic: when near namesakes collide

Forgive us in the UEFA.com office if we didn’t allow ourselves a little airpunch when Gent emerged in the UEFA Europa League round of 16 draw followed immediately by Genk.

Never mind that it is only the second all-Belgian tie in UEFA competition history: the mere verbal similarity of the team names left us feeling the roulette wheel of the draw had thrown up a jackpot. And it is not the first time that has happened – and there are still some other clashes we would like to see. Embrace the assonance.

Any we have missed? Let us have your suggestions using #UEL on Twitter and Facebook.
