Champions League Last 16 Draw - LIVE

Arsenal will play the 2nd leg at the Emirates

May the best team win

cant wait

We have already beaten an Italian team this season, home and away. And Udinese are above AC Milan in Serie A. #JustSaying

We had an unlucky start but were back in action again at Serie A.Dont forget what we did to Barca

Club secrety David Miles: "Arsenal-Milan is the pick of the round. The last time we played them in 07-08, we went through and won 2-0 at the San Siro".

Now that I think about it, I'm really excited about the match. Can't wait!

I'm not disappointed with this. Milan are the hardest team we could've got, but I say bring them on. If we win, we get the confidence of beating a good side. If we lose, we can say we were beaten by a good side and can focus on the league. Win-win.

But looking at the bigger picture, with this draw, do you guys think we should absolutely go for strong reinforcements in Jan?

Remember Sagna, Wilshere and Gibbs should be available for the game. I'm confident that Arsenal will edge AC Milan.

And if Spurs can beat them, I'm pretty sure we can.

Games around AC Milan legs. Sunderland (a) before 1st leg. Liverpool (a) before 2nd leg.

well said. we will welcome u guys will respect, but since our record has been pretty poor against english side ever since u guys beat us. for us, no exception this time around we will meet arsenal and hopefully play with determination and with guts! , i wasnt worried much even if we were to be drawn with real madrid. so yea bring it on! looking forward to this game.

afc starting xi v Milan (2-0 win, March 2008): Almunia; Sagna Gallas Senderos Clichy; Eboue Flamini Fabregas Diaby; Hleb; Adebayor.

Arsenal bench in 2nd leg v Milan, 2008 (2-0 win) - Lehmann, Hoyte, Gilberto, Denilson, Walcott, Bendtner, Van Persie.

Good luck, you guys are really difficult to beat and it'll be a good match! I really hope for two entertaining matches and I won't even care about the result

Oh we actually got AC Milan, our luck sucks :p. I am not disappointed at all with this draw and it will be a match to remember.

As long as Robin is not injured you'll have a real good chance

AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri: "Arsenal are difficult opponents, a team that has everything to go all the way in the Champions League"

Allegri: "In February we will have to be ready, Arsenal is a team at our level."

AC Milan director Umberto Gandini: "We need to break a bad tradition with Arsenal. Remember, we got knocked out by losing 2-0 in San Siro."

Umberto Gandini: “So Milan are coming back to London, it’s an exciting fixture, and we’re very determined to go through."

I appreciate the way Allegri described us. But when my friend told me we drew Milan at school I LITERALLY did this

Don't forget what Arsenal did to Barca. Actually won the match.

Lets not exchange fire so soon, milan fans seem confident, definitely hardest match up. Lots could happen between now and then but one thing for sure Kozz & TV needs to pair up to deal with Milan attackers. Sagna & Gibbs back could be great too.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I know what Jay means and i agree with him, but i would have REALLY liked an easier R16 fixture.

This will be a monster of a match, Obviously milan are better than us. But we will have wilshere back at least by then ( hope fully ) And perhaps some new addition in jan

ThankGod the 2nd leg is at the emirates

I think some of you guys are being too pessimistic. May the best team, it's sure to be an exciting match

By then we should be in full force, I said it couple of days ago we will face Milan, that's just the Arsenal way. We never make it easy, Like Jay said this is good for us, if we beat them then we can be full of confidence when we face Barcelona.

In a knockout situation, no Italian side has ever beaten Arsenal. The English side have got through seven two-leg ties and one final. (BBC)
