Ok so we have dodged Real Madrid

[Gunner Rob]

The Barca delegation laughing as they heard they would be playing us, sums it up.

Was there any point in doing the draw. We'll draw the first game and then get thrashed in the second game with a man sent off for nothing. We know the story too well.

how many times in a row will this be that we have lost in the last 16?

decent draw really - the sooner we get knocked out of this the better.
at least it wont be as embarrassing as losing to Monaco

[MrT]

This is the team that beat Real Madrid 4-0 at home without Messi for most of the match.

Could easily be 6 or 7-0 at the Nou Camp. Bellerin and Mertesacker vs Neymar, Messi and Suarez.

Forgot all about the draw

[Robin_L]

I'm delighted with the draw, bollocks to going out to St Petersburg in February or March.

Have we any idea when the home game will be? My boy will be desperate to go to this and I might struggle to get the time off work.

this will actually be considered to be Wenger's finest season in the CL since 2006 by the board members.
the club has achieved the holy grail - a SECOND category A CL match in the same season
