Who could Arsenal face in Champions League? Possible opponents in last-16 draw today

Today's Champions League draw will see Arsenal learn their opponents for the last-16.

Most of Mikel Arteta's young squad had never played in the competition before and appear to be settling in well amongst Europe's elite.

Though most would agree that Arsenal's group was perhaps not the toughest on paper - just ask Newcastle fans - so the real hard work begins now.

Arsenal are considered fourth-favourites to win the Champions League and have put themselves in the best possible shape to do so with a seeding for the next round.

That means the Gunners will face one of the teams who finished second in their group and the second leg will be at home, but there are still a few dangers lurking.

Arsenal's possible opponents

  • Copenhagen
  • Inter Milan
  • Lazio
  • Napoli
  • Porto
  • Paris Saint-Germain
  • RB Leipzig
