Arsenal will learn their Champions League last 16 opponents on Friday as they plot a first European success this season.

The Gunners eased through to the knockout stage of the competition after finishing in third place in the revamped league phase.

It ensured Mikel Arteta’s side avoided the two-legged play-off ties that concluded this week with Manchester City the biggest casualty, crashing out of the competition after a 6-3 aggregate defeat to Real Madrid on Wednesday night.

Arsenal fans will be looking at the draw and the form of some of Europe’s big hitters and may fancy their chances of going all the way this time.

Who can Arsenal face in the Champions League last 16?

Finishing third in the league phase saw Arsenal drawn to face the winner of the play-off ties between the 13^th and 14^th (AC Milan and Feyenoord) seeds and 19^th and 20^th (Juventus and PSV Eindhoven) seeds.

It leaves them with two possible opponents and it was double Dutch delight for the Eredivisie clubs with Feyenoord knocking out AC Milan 2-1 on aggregate following a 1-1 draw at San Siro this week.

A second Italian giant crashed out last night as PSV roared back to eliminate Juventus. Trailing 2-1 from the first leg, the Dutch giants sealed a 3-1 win on home turf to secure their place in the last 16.
