The Premier League clubs’ European fates have been revealed.

Arsenal overcame two early setbacks in their Champions League group to make the round of 16 for the 16th season in a row, while Chelsea and Man City both topped their group – but Jose Mourinho’s side did not earn an easier draw as a result.

The Gunners face a daunting trip to Barcelona once again, while Manchester City must find a way past Dynamo Kiev to make their first ever Champions League quarter-final.
