Champions League: Arsenal discover Round of 16 opponents 

Find out which of the two teams from the Netherlands Arsenal will play in the Champions League 

The waiting is finally over! 

Arsenal have discovered who they will play in the Champions League Round of 16. 

Friday morning's draw decided who the seeded teams - the ones who finished first to eighth in the league phase - will face in the last 16 and which half of the draw they go into.

Arsenal finished in an impressive third place, meaning they avoided two extra play-off games that saw PSV beat Juventus over two legs, while Feyenoord eased past AC Milan.

So, the teams who finished in the top eight of the Champions League's new league phase table automatically qualified for the last 16.

They were Liverpool, Barcelona, Arsenal, Inter Milan, Atletico Madrid, Bayer Leverkusen, Lille and Aston Villa.

These teams will be joined by the eight winners of the knockout play-offs. 

They were: Bayern Munich, Benfica, Club Brugge, Feyenoord, PSG, PSV, Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund.
