Round-of-16 Champions League

Champions League last 16

Can Arsenal finally make it to the last eight of the Champions League after failing to do so in the past five years?

This is the big question on the mind of every gunner fan after Arsenal drew Champions League holders Barcelona in the draw of the last 16 held on Monday.

Arsenal who made history by qualifying for the last 16 in their 17th attempt in a row look once again to be going home after drawing the Spanish side.

The gunners have not made it past the last 16 in the last five years and will need a miracle to end their bad run this time around.

The last time the two sides met at this stage was in 2011 with Barcelona edging out the English side.
