Arsenal will face PSV Eindhoven in the Round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League, with the winner set for a potential showdown against either Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid in the quarter-finals.
The Gunners impressed during the group stage, finishing third overall with 19 points. Their top-eight finish allowed them to skip the knockout phase play-off round and advance directly to the last 16, alongside clubs like Aston Villa, Atlético Madrid, Barcelona, Bayer Leverkusen, Inter Milan, Lille, and Liverpool.
They were later joined by Bayern Munich, Benfica, Club Brugge, and Feyenoord, while Borussia Dortmund, Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, and PSV Eindhoven booked their spots through the play-offs. As a seeded team, Arsenal will have the advantage of playing the second leg of their tie at the Emirates Stadium.
