Arsenal handed nightmare Barcelona draw in last 16 of Champions League as Chelsea take on PSG and Manchester City face Dynamo Kiev

15 December 2015 [12:56] - TODAY.AZ

Arsenal’s prize for completing the great escape is a daunting Champions League last-16 clash with Barcelona - the third time they’ve met in six years.


The Gunners won their final two group games against Dinamo Zagreb and Olympiacos to squeeze out of Group F but will now play Luis Enrique’s Barca for a place in the quarter-finals.


Jose Mourinho could not have wished for a worse possible draw after Chelsea were again paired with Paris Saint-Germain.


PSG knocked the Premier League champions out of the competition at this stage last season.


Manchester City topped their group for the first time ever thanks to a sensational comeback against Borussia Monchengladbach and were paired with Dynamo Kiev during Monday's draw in Nyon.
