Arsenal heads into the Champions League Round of 16 in a prime position after a flawless group stage, topping their group with eight wins from eight matches. This perfect run means the Gunners approach the UEFA Champions League draw as a seeded team—an undeniable advantage when it comes to the knockout bracket.

The UEFA Champions League draw, set for February 27, will reveal the London club’s next opponent. There are two possibilities for the English side: a showdown with Bayer Leverkusen or a clash against Atalanta Bergamo, both teams having advanced through the playoffs.

Thanks to their top-seed status, Arsenal will play the second leg at the Emirates Stadium—a strategic edge in this knockout phase. One thing is certain: regardless of the draw, the Gunners will have to overcome a serious hurdle to keep their European ambitions alive.
