Arsenal being group winners, travel to San Siro in the first leg of the competition to face Italian Giants AC Milan, while Chelsea face Napoli. Its worth pointing out that AC Milan have fallen to English clubs at the last-16 stage in each of their last three campaigns, and the Arsenal Club Secretary David Miles was fast to react "It's probably the pick of the round. They'll be two fantastic games. If I'm being honest, there are some other teams I would have preferred. Last time we played them in season 07-08, we actually went through after winning 2-0 in the San Siro so our recent history against them is good"
Chelsea also hope to maintain their recent form against Napoli, who qualified ahead of Manchester City from the group stages by the time the teams lock horns in February next year.
The full list of parings for the Uefa Champions League round of 16 are as follows
MARSEILLE v INTER MILAN
ZENIT ST PETERSBURG v BENFICA
CSKA MOSCOW v REAL MADRID
BAYER LEVERKUSEN v BARCELONA
AC MILAN v ARSENAL
