Europa League: Arsenal draw AC Milan
Alex Iwobi and his Arsenal teammates have been drawn
against Italian giants AC Milan in the last 16 of the Europa League. The
Gunners survived a major scare against Swedish minnows Ostersunds in the round
of 32 on Thursday, progressing through on aggregate
despite a shock 2-1 home defeat at the Emirates.
The Gunners will now have to brace up for a two-legged
tie against AC Milan, who are enjoying a resurgence under manager Gennaro
Gattuso and are still unbeaten in 2018. While the Arsenal/Milan tie is the pick
of the round-of-16 draw, there are a number of other high-profile games to look
forward to.
Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund will take on Red Bull
Salzburg, while Atletico Madrid have been drawn against Lokomotiv Moscow – one
of four Russian clubs still in the competition. Marseille are the only other
French team still in the competition and they will face La Liga side Athletic
Bilbao, while Sporting Lisbon have been drawn against Viktoria Plzen.
