Arsenal have been drawn against Italian giants AC Milan in the Europa League round of 16, while Dortmund gets Salzburg and Atletico Madrid is scheduled to play Lokomotiv Moscow.

The Gunners scraped through to the next round after losing 1-2 to Swedish minnows Ostersunds at the Emirates Stadium on Thursday night.

The Gunners will play a revitalised Milan side at the San Siro before the return leg in London. Their Italian opponents are coached by former midfield general, Gennaro Gattuso.

AC Milan thrashed Ludogorets Razgrad 4-0 over both legs to qualify for the round of 16. The Rosonerri had qualified as top of Group D with 11 points, scoring 13 times and conceding 6 times while the Gunners amassed 13 points, scoring 14 times and conceding just 4 times to finish top of Group H.

AC Milan thrashed Arsenal 4-0 when the sides both last met in a European competition, the Champions League, in 2012. Although the Gunners bounced back with a 3-0 victory in the second leg, it was not enough to earn a place in the next round. Also, the Italians were 2-0 winners over Arsenal when they met in the 1995 UEFA Super Cup.

However, in the 2007/08 season, Arsenal knocked AC Milan out of the Champions League, scoring two late goals in the San Siro to win 2-0 on aggregate.
