Arsenal’s possible path to final

Legit.ng reports that Arsenal can plot their route to the 2025/26 UCL final now that the draw for the knockout stage of the competition has been completed.

The Gunners will play Bayer Leverkusen in the last 16 and, if they get past the German side, it is Sporting or Bodo/Glimt in the quarter-finals for a place in the last four.

Beyond that, they would face one of Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, Newcastle or Tottenham in the semi‑finals.

The big news for Mikel Arteta's side, not that there are any guarantees in knockout football, is that they have avoided Real Madrid, Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Chelsea, who are all on the other side of the draw.
