Arsenal have been handed a tricky-tough tie in the round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League against current holders, Barcelona.
At the draw held in Neon, Switzerland, the Gunners were drawn with Barcelona in what would be the fourth game of the last 16.
This match-up creates aggravated tension for the north London club and coach Arsene Wenger who lost to the Barcelona team – without Messi, Suarez and Neymar at the time in the final of the 2006 season at the Stade de France in Paris France.
A clash at the Olympic stadium in Turin will see two- time winners and last year’s finalist, Juventus, play 10- time winners and runners-up of the 2010, 2012 seasons, Bayern Munich.
Round of 16 first timers KAA Gent play host to another first-timers VFL Wolfsburg in Belgium.
Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea will face Parisien club, PSG, who consequently kicked them out of in the Champions League quarter-final last season.
Runners-up of the groups play to hosts to the group winners in the first legs scheduled for February 16-17 and 23-24. Return legs hold on March 8-9 and 15-16.
