ARSENAL WILL FACE AC Milan in the standout clash of the Europa League round of 16, with Atletico Madrid and Borussia Dortmund both avoiding heavyweight meetings in Friday’s draw.
Arsene Wenger’s side scraped past Ostersunds 4-2 on aggregate, but their reward is a tough test against in-form Milan, who saw off Ludogorets in the round of 32.
The two sides last met at this stage of the 2011/12 Champions League, when Zlatan Ibrahimovic inspired a 4-3 aggregate triumph for the Serie A outfit.
