Former Super Eagles player Mikel Obi made an appearance at the UEFA Champions League draw following the completion of the Round of 16 ties.
Arsenal advanced to the quarter-finals after surviving a scare against Porto and winning in a penalty shootout.
Other top teams such as Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Manchester City, Borussia Dortmund, and Atletico Madrid also secured quarter-final spots.
The draw, held recently, pitted these top teams against each other as they aim for a path to Wembley.
Mikel Obi, an AFCON winner, selected Arsenal to play against Bayern Munich, a team that has historically had the upper hand against the Gunners.
In other matchups, Barcelona will face Paris Saint-Germain, Atletico Madrid will play against Borussia Dortmund, and there will be a rematch of last season’s clash between Real Madrid and Manchester City.
Real Madrid will seek revenge against Manchester City, who knocked them out last season before going on to win the final against Inter Milan.
