An encounter with Rui Borges' side will mean a reunion with his former club for Gyökeres.\nArsenal have met Bodø\/Glimt just twice previously, winning both encounters in the group stage of the 2022\/23 Europa League. The home meeting was won 3-0 while the away tie was a tighter contest with the North Londoners managing a slender 1-0 triumph.\nSemi-finals\nThe semi-finals is where it would get slightly harder for Arsenal, but they will still be rubbing their hands at the sight of their potential opponents in the last four.\nIt could be an all-Premier League semi-final with both Newcastle and North London rivals Tottenham on the same side of the draw. The Gunners won 2-1 at St James' Park earlier this season and will play the reverse fixture at home just days before the first leg of the semi-final.\nBoth derby meetings with Spurs have ended in dominant wins for Arteta's side this campaign. A 4-1 home win saw Eberechi Eze steal the headlines with a hat-trick while Leandro Trossard also found the back of the net. The number 10 was the hero once again in the away tie, scoring twice alongside Gyökeres, who also grabbed a brace in another 4-1 triumph.\nThe other two possible opponents hail from La Liga in the form of Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. Barca have been familiar foes for Arsenal in Europe, winning six of their nine meetings, including the 2006 Champions League final. Their Spanish counterparts have not met the Gunners as often, but their last encounter came earlier this season with Arsenal romping to a 4-0 win at the Emirates Stadium.\nFinal\nOn the other side of the draw are some of Europe's best sides that will be just as eager as Arteta's side to get their hands on the Champions League trophy.\nIf Arsenal are to reach the final, they will face one of Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea, Galatasaray, Liverpool, Real Madrid, Manchester City, Atalanta or Bayern Munich.\nAdd us as a preferred source on\nGoogle\nFollow","attrs_markdown":"[Skip to main

Arsenal's potential route to the Champions League final\nArsenal have learned their potential route to the Champions League final\n\nBy[Lennie

route now known \\| Kristian Skeie - UEFA\/GettyImages\n\nArsenal have now [discovered](https:\/\/paininthearsenal.com\/arsenal-finally-find-out-their-champions-league-knockouts-opponents-01kje9e3a0x3) their opponents for the round of 16 of the Champions League and their potential route to the final.\n\nThe Gunners have been drawn against Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen in the next stage after Kasper Hjulmand's side overcame Olympiacos 2-0 on aggregate in the play-off round with the tie set to be played on Wednesday 11 March and Tuesday 17 March.\n\nNot only did Mikel Arteta's side learn who they will take on in the last 16, they also learned who their potential opponents could be as they look to make it to just their second ever Champions League final.\n***\n## Arsenal's potential route to the Champions League final\n![Mikel Arteta](https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,x_0,y_36,w_1024,h_576\/c_fill,w_16,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images\/GettyImages\/mmsport\/209\/01kjg9wd83crjm23p6we.jpg)\n\nFavourable \\| Catherine Ivill - AMA\/GettyImages\n\nHere's who Arsenal could face on their way to the Champions League final if they get the better of Bayer Leverkusen next month.\n***\n### Quarter-finals\nA meeting with either Sporting or Bodø\/Glimt awaits if the Gunners make it to the last eight, with both being very favourable ties.\n\nArteta's side last met the Portuguese champions in last season's league phase as they came away from Lisbon with a dominant 5-1 victory with Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Magalhaes, Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard all getting on the scoresheet. An encounter with Rui Borges' side will mean a reunion with his former club for Gyökeres.\n\nArsenal have met Bodø\/Glimt just twice previously, winning both encounters in the group stage of the 2022\/23 Europa League. The home meeting was won 3-0 while the away tie was a tighter contest with the North Londoners managing a slender 1-0 triumph.\n***\n### Semi-finals\nThe semi-finals is where it would get slightly harder for Arsenal, but they will still be rubbing their hands at the sight of their potential opponents in the last four.\n\nIt could be an all-Premier League semi-final with both Newcastle and North London rivals Tottenham on the same side of the draw. The Gunners won 2-1 at St James' Park earlier this season and will play the reverse fixture at home just days before the first leg of the semi-final.\n\nBoth derby meetings with Spurs have ended in dominant wins for Arteta's side this campaign. A 4-1 home win saw Eberechi Eze steal the headlines with a hat-trick while Leandro Trossard also found the back of the net. The number 10 was the hero once again in the away tie, scoring twice alongside Gyökeres, who also grabbed a brace in another 4-1 triumph.\n\nThe other two possible opponents hail from La Liga in the form of Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. Barca have been familiar foes for Arsenal in Europe, winning six of their nine meetings, including the 2006 Champions League final. Their Spanish counterparts have not met the Gunners as often, but their last encounter came earlier this season with Arsenal romping to a 4-0 win at the Emirates Stadium.\n***\n### Final\nOn the other side of the draw are some of Europe's best sides that will be just as eager as Arteta's side to get their hands on the Champions League trophy.\n\nIf Arsenal are to reach the final, they will face one of Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea, Galatasaray, Liverpool, Real Madrid, Manchester City, Atalanta or Bayern Munich.\n\n![](https:\/\/assets.minutemediacdn.com\/platform\/google_discover_icon.svg)Add us as a preferred source on Google\n\n[Follow](https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=paininthearsenal.com)\n\nLoading recommendations...

Boilerpipe Text	Arsenal have now discovered their opponents for the round of 16 of the Champions League and their potential route to the final. The Gunners have been drawn against Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen in the next stage after Kasper Hjulmand's side overcame Olympiacos 2-0 on aggregate in the play-off round with the tie set to be played on Wednesday 11 March and Tuesday 17 March. Not only did Mikel Arteta's side learn who they will take on in the last 16, they also learned who their potential opponents could be as they look to make it to just their second ever Champions League final. Arsenal's potential route to the Champions League final Favourable \| Catherine Ivill - AMA/GettyImages Here's who Arsenal could face on their way to the Champions League final if they get the better of Bayer Leverkusen next month. Quarter-finals A meeting with either Sporting or Bodø/Glimt awaits if the Gunners make it to the last eight, with both being very favourable ties. Arteta's side last met the Portuguese champions in last season's league phase as they came away from Lisbon with a dominant 5-1 victory with Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Magalhaes, Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard all getting on the scoresheet. An encounter with Rui Borges' side will mean a reunion with his former club for Gyökeres. Arsenal have met Bodø/Glimt just twice previously, winning both encounters in the group stage of the 2022/23 Europa League. The home meeting was won 3-0 while the away tie was a tighter contest with the North Londoners managing a slender 1-0 triumph. Semi-finals The semi-finals is where it would get slightly harder for Arsenal, but they will still be rubbing their hands at the sight of their potential opponents in the last four. It could be an all-Premier League semi-final with both Newcastle and North London rivals Tottenham on the same side of the draw. The Gunners won 2-1 at St James' Park earlier this season and will play the reverse fixture at home just days before the first leg of the semi-final. Both derby meetings with Spurs have ended in dominant wins for Arteta's side this campaign. A 4-1 home win saw Eberechi Eze steal the headlines with a hat-trick while Leandro Trossard also found the back of the net. The number 10 was the hero once again in the away tie, scoring twice alongside Gyökeres, who also grabbed a brace in another 4-1 triumph. The other two possible opponents hail from La Liga in the form of Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. Barca have been familiar foes for Arsenal in Europe, winning six of their nine meetings, including the 2006 Champions League final. Their Spanish counterparts have not met the Gunners as often, but their last encounter came earlier this season with Arsenal romping to a 4-0 win at the Emirates Stadium. Final On the other side of the draw are some of Europe's best sides that will be just as eager as Arteta's side to get their hands on the Champions League trophy. If Arsenal are to reach the final, they will face one of Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea, Galatasaray, Liverpool, Real Madrid, Manchester City, Atalanta or Bayern Munich.

# Arsenal's potential route to the Champions League final Arsenal have learned their potential route to the Champions League final By[Lennie Teague](https://paininthearsenal.com/author/lteague)\\| [![Google Discover](https://assets.minutemediacdn.com/platform/google_discover_icon.svg)Add us as a preferred source](https://www.google.com/preferences/source?q=paininthearsenal.com) ![Potential

Potential route now known \\| Kristian Skeie - UEFA/GettyImages Arsenal have now [discovered](https://paininthearsenal.com/arsenal-finally-find-out-their-champions-league-knockouts-opponents-01kje9e3a0x3) their opponents for the round of 16 of the Champions League and their potential route to the final. The Gunners have been drawn against Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen in the next stage after Kasper Hjulmand's side overcame Olympiacos 2-0 on aggregate in the play-off round with the tie set to be played on Wednesday 11 March and Tuesday 17 March. Not only did Mikel Arteta's side learn who they will take on in the last 16, they also learned who their potential opponents could be as they look to make it to just their second ever Champions League final. * ## Arsenal's potential route to the Champions League final ![Mikel Arteta](https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/c_crop,x_0,y_36,w_1024,h_576/c_fill,w_16,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto/images/GettyImages/mmsport/209/01kjg9wd83crjm23p6we.jpg) Favourable \\| Catherine Ivill - AMA/GettyImages Here's who Arsenal could face on their way to the Champions League final if they get the better of Bayer Leverkusen next month. * ### Quarter-finals A meeting with either Sporting or Bodø/Glimt awaits if the Gunners make it to the last eight, with both being very favourable ties. Arteta's side last met the Portuguese champions in last season's league phase as they came away from Lisbon with a dominant 5-1 victory with Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Magalhaes, Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard all getting on the scoresheet. An encounter with Rui Borges' side will mean a reunion with his former club for Gyökeres. Arsenal have met Bodø/Glimt just twice previously, winning both encounters in the group stage of the 2022/23 Europa League. The home meeting was won 3-0 while the away tie was a tighter contest with the North Londoners managing a slender 1-0 triumph. * ### Semi-finals The semi-finals is where it would get slightly harder for Arsenal, but they will still be rubbing their hands at the sight of their potential opponents in the last four. It could be an all-Premier League semi-final with both Newcastle and North London rivals Tottenham on the same side of the draw. The Gunners won 2-1 at St James' Park earlier this season and will play the reverse fixture at home just days before the first leg of the semi-final. Both derby meetings with Spurs have ended in dominant wins for Arteta's side this campaign. A 4-1 home win saw Eberechi Eze steal the headlines with a hat-trick while Leandro Trossard also found the back of the net. The number 10 was the hero once again in the away tie, scoring twice alongside Gyökeres, who also grabbed a brace in another 4-1 triumph. The other two possible opponents hail from La Liga in the form of Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. Barca have been familiar foes for Arsenal in Europe, winning six of their nine meetings, including the 2006 Champions League final. Their Spanish counterparts have not met the Gunners as often, but their last encounter came earlier this season with Arsenal romping to a 4-0 win at the Emirates Stadium. * ### Final On the other side of the draw are some of Europe's best sides that will be just as eager as Arteta's side to get their hands on the Champions League trophy.

Readable Markdown	Arsenal have now [discovered](https://paininthearsenal.com/arsenal-finally-find-out-their-champions-league-knockouts-opponents-01kje9e3a0x3) their opponents for the round of 16 of the Champions League and their potential route to the final. The Gunners have been drawn against Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen in the next stage after Kasper Hjulmand's side overcame Olympiacos 2-0 on aggregate in the play-off round with the tie set to be played on Wednesday 11 March and Tuesday 17 March. Not only did Mikel Arteta's side learn who they will take on in the last 16, they also learned who their potential opponents could be as they look to make it to just their second ever Champions League final. * ## Arsenal's potential route to the Champions League final Favourable \\| Catherine Ivill - AMA/GettyImages Here's who Arsenal could face on their way to the Champions League final if they get the better of Bayer Leverkusen next month. * ### Quarter-finals A meeting with either Sporting or Bodø/Glimt awaits if the Gunners make it to the last eight, with both being very favourable ties. Arteta's side last met the Portuguese champions in last season's league phase as they came away from Lisbon with a dominant 5-1 victory with Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Magalhaes, Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard all getting on the scoresheet. An encounter with Rui Borges' side will mean a reunion with his former club for Gyökeres. Arsenal have met Bodø/Glimt just twice previously, winning both encounters in the group stage of the 2022/23 Europa League. The home meeting was won 3-0 while the away tie was a tighter contest with the North Londoners managing a slender 1-0 triumph. * ### Semi-finals The semi-finals is where it would get slightly harder for Arsenal, but they will still be rubbing their hands at the sight of their potential opponents in the last four. It could be an all-Premier League semi-final with both Newcastle and North London rivals Tottenham on the same side of the draw. The Gunners won 2-1 at St James' Park earlier this season and will play the reverse fixture at home just days before the first leg of the semi-final. Both derby meetings with Spurs have ended in dominant wins for Arteta's side this campaign. A 4-1 home win saw Eberechi Eze steal the headlines with a hat-trick while Leandro Trossard also found the back of the net. The number 10 was the hero once again in the away tie, scoring twice alongside Gyökeres, who also grabbed a brace in another 4-1 triumph. The other two possible opponents hail from La Liga in the form of Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. Barca have been familiar foes for Arsenal in Europe, winning six of their nine meetings, including the 2006 Champions League final. Their Spanish counterparts have not met the Gunners as often, but their last encounter came earlier this season with Arsenal romping to a 4-0 win at the Emirates Stadium. * ### Final On the other side of the draw are some of Europe's best sides that will be just as eager as Arteta's side to get their hands on the Champions League trophy. If Arsenal are to reach the final, they will face one of Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea, Galatasaray, Liverpool, Real Madrid, Manchester City, Atalanta or Bayern Munich. ![](https://assets.minutemediacdn.com/platform/google_discover_icon.svg)Add us as a preferred source on Google [Follow](https://www.google.com/preferences/source?q=paininthearsenal.com)
