After just about dragging their sorry carcass through a double-header against Ostersunds in the round of 32, Arsenal have been rewarded with a tough Europa League quarter-quarter-final (or ’round of 16′, if you’d prefer) draw against AC Milan.

The Gunners won 3-0 out in Sweden last week but put in a flaccid display in the return leg at the Emirates, losing 1-2 at home against Graham Potters’ band of plucky upstarts.

Still, aggregate is aggregate, and now the Gunners will face Gennaro Gattuso’s resurgent Rossoneri (11 matches unbeaten since December) starting with a trip to the San Siro on Thursday 8th March.

Well, as far as Arsene Wenger’s concerned, at least it’s not Bayern Munich this year.
