Arsenal draw Bayern AGAIN, Man City get Monaco
The draw for the round of 16 of the Champions League was conducted today afternoon in Switzerland, and the powers that be in Nyon have rewarded (or should that read punished?) Arsenal for topping Group A by drawing them AGAIN against German giants Bayern Munich.
The Gunners, who finished ahead of Paris Saint-Germain, avoided Real Madrid, but will now meet the Bavarians for the fourth time in the last five seasons.
Other English clubs have been given a relatively easier draw- Leicester’s reward for finishing ahead of Porto, Brugge and FC Copenhagen is a clash against Sevilla while Man City, who finished behind Barcelona in their group, will face Monaco.
It’s not been smooth sailing for Unai Emery in Paris this season (they’re third currently behind Nice and Monaco) and his debut season just got tougher after they drew Barca.
The two Madrids- Real and Atletico will fancy their chances of going through to the quarters, after drawing Napoli and Bayer Leverkusen respectively.
