Why? Milan are far from the strongest team there.

Did you see we lost to a team worse than Milan? Doesn’t matter how poor they are, it’s Arsenal, if there’s a chance we’ll lose that game, we will.

I know but don’t think because it’s Milan it’ll be easy for us

Who would you prefer? You should be glad you have a team that starts Borini

It could have been waaaaaaaaay worse.

The best thing about the draw is that Lyon, Atletico, Lazio and Leipzig have drawn the Russian/Ukrainian sides. Assuming Arsenal beat Milan they're not likely to have to face any long journeys but if they do it'll mean at least one of the better sides are out.

Milan already gloating on social media...saying arsenal aren’t the same arsenal they used to be. They aren’t wrong

There's a few teams there I would have preferred to Milan, but at least we don't have a mammoth trip to Russia to deal with
