Chelsea, Man City and Arsenal react to Champions League draw

The three Premier League clubs who made it through the group stages to the knockout rounds of the Champions League have been commenting on their last 16 opponents. Arsenal club secretary David Miles said: "We've picked some of the biggest teams in Europe over the last few years, but we are not taking anything for granted. Monaco have earned the right to be at this stage."

Reacting to Manchester City's draw, director of football and former Barcelona player Txiki Begiristain told Sky Sports News: "Every tie in that draw is the same. It's fantastic, so we're looking forward to it.

"We have plenty of confidence with the way we qualified, beating Bayern Munich at home and Roma away."

Chelsea secretary David Barnard was happy at being drawn against PSG, adding: "It's a good draw logistically, too, for our supporters."
