Arsenal’s Champions League Draw
Well if you haven’t already heard then you should be resonably pleased to hear that we’ve been drawn in group H of this years Champions League tournament alongside Shakhtar Donetsk, Sporting Braga and Partizan Belgrade.
It looks like one of the best draws we could have hoped for and somehow we’ve managed to avoid most of the bigger teams in this years competition. Nothing short of qualification for the next stage will do looking at the quality of the teams in the group.
Our biggest test will likely come with the away game against Shakhtar Donetsk. They’ve always been a decent outfit and play some good attatcking football. I’d still expect Arsenal to beat them, even away from home but if there was a stumbling block in the group then that would have to be it.
Hopefully the easy draw we’ve been given should allow Wenger to rest players up towards the later stages of the groups meaning we can mount a serious challenge this season in Europe.
