Inter, Reds get Europa opponents



Inter Milan will make their Europa League debut with a home leg first against Hajduk Split of Croatia or Skonto of Latvia in the third qualifying round.

Inter dropped into Uefa's second-tier competition this season after seven straight years in the Champions League, which they won in 2010.

Liverpool, the 2005 Champions League winner, also featured in Friday's draw, and will travel first to face Renova of Macedonia or Gomel of Belarus.

Athletic Bilbao, runner-up last season, are at home first against Croatia's Slaven Koprivnica or Northern Ireland's Portadown.

Marseille are away first against Eskisehirspor of Turkey or St. Johnstone of Scotland.

First-leg matches are played on August 2. Return matches are on August 9.

Winners advance to a playoff round before the group stage.
