ARSENAL TO PLAY AC MILAN IN LAST 16
ARSENAL will play seven-time European champions AC Milan in the Europa League last 16.
The Gunners will travel to Italy for the first leg on 8 March, with the return match a week later.
Milan, who are seventh in Serie A, beat Bulgarian club Ludogorets Razgrad 4-0 on aggregate in the previous round.
Arsene Wenger's Gunners beat Swedish minnows Ostersunds FK 4-2 on aggregate in the last 32, despite a "complacent" performance in Thursday's second leg.
Wenger said his team "had no ideas with the ball" after they lost 2-1 at home to a side only founded in 1996, who have risen from Sweden's fourth tier in seven years under English manager Graham Potter.
Russian club Zenit St Petersburg, who knocked out Scot- tish champions Celtic, play RB Leipzig of Germany.
In each of their previous seven seasons in Europe, Arsenal were knocked out of the Champions League at the last-16 stage.
One of those exits - in 2012 was in their most recent meeting with Milan. The Gunners lost the first leg at the San Siro 4-0 before winning 3-0 at home.
Despite their European pedigree, the Italian giants have never won the Europa League - nor its predecessor, the Uefa Cup.
Led by their former midfielder Gennaro Gattuso, they are 25 points behind Serie A leaders Napoli, despite having spent around £200m on signings in the summer transfer window. -BBC
