Gunners reach last 16
Arsenal reached the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League after beating Partizan 3-1 at the Emirates.
The result means the Gunners can only finish second in their group and hence will face one of Real Madrid, Barcelona, Schalke or last season's runners up Bayern Munich.
This is because the Gunners cannot meet one of the teams from the English Premiership who won their groups or Shakhtar Donetsk from their group.
Elsewhere there were no real surprises from the group phase apart from the poor performance from Bursaspor who never looked anywhere near like champions from the Turkish league.
Bursaspor only managed to win a single point from their last group match at home against Rangers.
MSK Zilina and Partizan failed to register a single point with Zilina having the worst goal difference of -16.
FC Copenhagen had a good run finishing second behind Barcelona in Group D.
