Arsenal draw AC Milan in the UEFA Champions League
Premier League side Arsenal have gone on to be pooled up against AC Milan in the UEFA Champions League, as the two sides head into the round sixteen.
The Gunners have had a very good run in the Champions League so far and managed to finish on top of their group.
However, with AC Milan and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 being in the same group in the tournament, the Italians ended up finishing in the second spot.
As a result, they were destined to face a team that was seeded in the top spot in their group standings.
As it stands, that team is the North London side Arsenal. Despite many assuming this draw to be a crushing blow to the Gunners, it is actually not quite as bad.
The Gunners have already beaten AC Milan in the past and will be looking to repeat the same success this time around.
Arsenal faced off against Italian side Udinese in the qualification stage to the tournament and managed to make short work of Serie A side.
Given the fact that the team possesses tremendous pace, it is safe to say that they would cause Milan a problem or two during their match.

Van Persie will be required to produce the goals up front, which would help the Gunners cruise through the game. On the other hand, Walcott’s pace is going to be the team’s greatest asset, as the winger is going to fly back and forth, trying to beat a number
of Milan defenders.
Lastly, the midfield combination of Song and Arteta can easily run the show against any team and the Gunners will hope for the two to do the same against Milan.
Nonetheless, given the experience and technique that Milan possess it is not going to be a walk in the park for Arsenal. In fact, if the team manages to put a wrong foot in the game, they could easily find themselves crashing out of the tournament at the
hands of the mighty Italians.
