The Champions League draw has taken place and Arsenal have been given a favourable draw against Portuguese giants Porto.
As a name, Porto is a big club but they are not the same team they have been in recent seasons, mainly due to Financial Fair Play problems and Arsenal should be fairly content with this match-up.
It certainly could have been a lot more difficult and shows the advantage of finishing first in the group stage.
The other English side, Manchester City, has also been handed a good draw with Danish side FC Copenhagen their opponents.
