Who Arsenal could face in today’s Champions League last-16 draw

Arsenal will today learn their last-16 opponents and potential route to the Champions League final.

Arsenal did not always enjoy the easiest of Champions League campaigns but Mikel Arteta’s side safely made it through to the last-16 as one of the top eight seeds.

The Gunners required heroics from David Raya to earn a 0-0 draw in Atalanta before slipping to a 1-0 defeat to Inter Milan in the San Siro early on in the league phase.

But Arsenal’s excellent home form - with wins over Paris Saint-Germain, Shakhtar Donetsk, Monaco and Dinamo Zagreb, to an aggregate score of 12-0 - ensured their safe passage to the last 16.

Arsenal’s secured third spot in the league standings by beating Girona away on the final day to ensure that they skip the play-off rounds, as Arteta’s side now await to find out who they could play in the last-16 in March.

Who could Arsenal face in the last 16?

The Gunners will play either Feyenoord or PSV in the last-16.

It was double Dutch delight in the play-offs as Feyenoord eliminated Milan and PSV dumped out Juventus in two big shocks.

When will Arsenal find out their last-16 opponents?

The Champions League draw is scheduled for 11am GMT on Friday, 21 February.

When will Arsenal play their last-16 tie?

Arsenal will play the first leg of their last-16 match away from home on 4/5 March and then the second leg at the Emirates on 11/12 March.
