Lazio, Inter Milan, AC Milan: Who Arsenal could be drawn to face in Champions League knock-out stage

Kai Havertz scores again...


Arsenal have now qualified for the knock-oiut stage of the Champions League next year. 

The news comes after the Gunners routed sorry Lens 6-0 at the Emirates on Wednesday evening. 

With one game left, there are only two teams assured of second spot in their group.

One of those is PSV - who Arsenal can't face again after playing them in the group stage - and the other is RB Leipzig, who they could meet.

Teams from the same country can't meet in the round of 16.

This means Newcastle and Manchester United - who can still both finish second in their groups despite potentially damaging away draws this week to PSG and Galatasary respectively - can't be drawn against the Gunners.

Here's the full list of sides that Arsenal could play - with a few teams at the top still to be decided:

Napoli/Braga,

Real Sociedad/Inter,

Atletico Madrid/Lazio,

Borussia Dortmund/PSG/Milan, RB Leipzig,

Barcelona/Porto/Shakhtar Donetsk,

Galatasaray/Copenhagen

Bayern Munich, Manchester and Real Madrid are confirmed as going through, all as table toppers so cannot play Arsenal.

Manchester City would ineligible to face the Gunners as they're both from the same country.

Barcelona need just a point to be crowned group winners, as do Dortmund, both would then be out of the equation for drawing Arsenal.

*Newcastle, Manchester United, PSV and Lens can still qualify but would not be able to face Arsenal in the next round.
