Champions League draw : Arsenal draw Bayern Munich as Leicester and Manchester City avoid top guns

It is the fourth time in five seasons that the Gunners have been drawn against the German giants

It was Groundhog Day for Arsenal and Bayern Munich as they were again paired together in the Champions League knock-out stages.

Arsenal topped their group for the first time in five seasons but were still unable to avoid Bayern, who finished second in their own group behind Atletico Madrid.

It will be fourth time in the last five years the Gunners have faced the German champions and three of those times have been in the last 16 of the tournament.

Arsenal have a record of two wins, three defeats and a draw in those games but have never progressed ahead of them.

Meanwhile, Premier League champions Leicester were rewarded for qualifying top with a tie against Europa League champions Sevilla, which is one of the better draws Claudio Ranieri’s side could have hoped for.

The Foxes were the last team to be drawn but Manchester City were the first out of the pot and got an equally favourable draw against Monaco, arguably the weakest of the group winners, despite knocking out Tottenham.

Some of the other stand-out ties include Barcelona vs Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid vs Napoli.

First legs will be played February 14^th, 15^th, 21^st and 22^nd with the second legs to follow on March 7^th, 8^th, 14^th and 15^th.
