The former Arsenal striker is on the verge of taking charge at Feyenoord, who were one of Arsenal’s potential opponents, but it will instead be another Dutch side for the Gunners.
As a result of finishing in the top-eight in the league phase of the Champions League, Arsenal will have the advantage of playing the second leg of that tie at home.
If Arsenal were to beat one of the Madrid clubs, they would play either PSG, Liverpool, Club Brugge or Aston Villa in the semi-finals.
Their route to the final was mapped out after the last-16 draw on Friday, with Mikel Arteta’s side knowing they will almost certainly have to beat several European heavyweights if they are to make it all the way to Munich in May.
Arteta’s side will take on either Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid in the quarter-finals, in what would be a major test of their European credentials.
