Arsenal needed a big win on Match Day 6 against Olympiacos to qualify for the knock out stages of the UEFA Champions League and the North Londoners completed that objective.
However, the Gunners have been drawn against the treble winners and reigning European champions Barcelona yet again in the Round of 16.
Not to forget, the last time Arsenal qualified for the last 8 of UCL was way back in 2008-2009 season. Wenger’s men have lost out in the Round of 16 in the past 6 seasons and Barcelona are surely favorites to eliminate the Gunners yet again.
It will be fair to say that apart from a few Arsenal supporters, all other football fans firmly believe that the Gunners will be knocked out by the Catalan giants.
The Tottenham supporters were delighted to see their arch rivals draw Barcelona and reacted with joy on twitter. Few tweets are provided below. Spurs have drawn high flying Fiorentina in the Europa League and that is by no means an easy draw. Fiorentina are currently second in the Serie A.
Yesss Messi gonna kill Mertesacker

Just show how low the tots are these days
All they can hope for is a tough game for their rivals….what about being there yourself.
I am 50 next year and was born 5 years AFTER they last were champs.
Why am I at all writing this ???
I am far more curious about just how MU and LFC managed to obtain such “easy” opponents.
It seems like Lady Luck is rather biased and perhaps could be short of cash which is being kind as after years of watching the results of supposed random draws I think that UEFA’s corruption goes a lot further than pure money.
As for AFC vs Barcelona? After the dreadful start, AFC should consider themselves lucky to be there at and I DO hope that they beat Barca as I am sick of the money cheats from Spain.
