Arsenal’s opponents in the Champions League confirmed

Arsenal has now been drawn against Real Madrid and Barcelona, among others, in the league phase of the Champions League this season.

The Gunners reached the semi-final of the competition last season and have continued to strengthen their squad in pursuit of new heights.

Last term, they progressed to the semi-finals in two competitions and finished second in the Premier League. Could this be the season they finally secure the Champions League?

Mikel Arteta is guiding a determined group of players who have been further reinforced by the arrival of new signings into their squad.

The men at the Emirates are confident they now possess greater quality to compete strongly in different tournaments, and they will be aiming to ensure they win the UCL this time.

Before the draw, they were placed in pot two alongside Bayer Leverkusen, Atletico Madrid, Benfica, Atalanta, Villarreal, Juventus, Eintracht Frankfurt and Club Brugge.

This meant they would avoid at least three clubs from pot one because they are all English sides, and the Gunners have now been drawn against

Bayern Munich – Home
Inter Milan – Away
Atletico Madrid – Home
Club Brugge – Away
Olympiacos – Home
Slavia Prague – Away
Kairat Almaty – Home
Athletic Bilbao – Away

They remain one of the favourites, and they have the squad to defeat the top clubs on the continent and win the competition.
