The quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League will be played between Arsenal and one of the nine teams that are still competing in the competition.They are all ranked by London.

As a result of their stunning victory over FC Porto in a penalty shootout, Arsenal is waking up today as the quarter-finalists of the Champions League for the first time in fourteen years. After Leandro Trossard had scored the crucial goal that would eventually take the match into extra time and to penalty kicks, David Raya emerged as the hero of the evening following the conclusion of the match.

As a player and now as a coach, Mikel Arteta is in uncharted ground, and he is eagerly anticipating the next opponent that his team might encounter in the competition. For the first leg of the quarterfinals, the matches are scheduled to take place during the week of April 9 and 10, while the second leg is scheduled to take place the week after that.

The whole list, which includes all nine of Arsenal's possible opponents in the quarterfinals of the Champions League

Despite the fact that there are still two more matches to be played in the round of 16, football will continue.Rated after going through the list of possible opponents and ranking the nine teams that are still competing in the competition. From least to most difficult, despite the fact that there are no easy ties at this level, Arsenal will be confident in their ability to contend with any opponent after receiving this boost and now holding the top spot in the Premier League.

PSV Eindhoven, number nine
Following their 1-1 draw at home against Borussia Dortmund, one of the teams that still has a second leg of their last-16 match to play is still in the running. PSV are the only remaining Eredivisie team in the competition, and they have a great deal of experience with the Gunners. Not only did they compete against them in the group stage of the Champions League this season, but they also faced them at the same stage of the Europa League the previous year.

The only other team to have defeated them in competitive matches this season is Arsenal, who triumphed 4-0 at home but were held to a 1-1 draw in Eindhoven. They are still unbeaten in the Dutch top flight and are ten points ahead of Feyenoord, who are one of only two teams to have defeated them in competitive matches up to this point. In the event that they make progress, the majority of fans would choose them as their favorite.

There is Atletico Madrid.
As was the case with PSV, they are the underdogs to advance to the quarterfinals after suffering a loss to Inter Milan away from home. However, Diego Simeone will be hoping that the advantage of playing at home would help swing the tie in their favor. There is a possibility that a significant number of Arsenal supporters would be reluctant to compete against a Simeone team, which has been compared to the tenacity that the Gunners encountered when they were playing Porto.

In spite of everything, Atletico Madrid is not the same hardworking monsters that won La Liga and made it to the final of the Champions League for the same reason. They are now 14 points behind Real Madrid, who are in first position, and are in a competition for the top four in Spain with Athletic Club, whom they lead by just two points.

7th place: Borussia Dortmund
Borussia Dortmund has the potential to reignite their European rivalry with Arsenal, which has been dormant for a decade, if they are able to take advantage of their home advantage and achieve victory over PSV. Although the Gunners have a history of four wins, three losses, and a draw with the German club, it is possible that this is not the same Jurgen Klopp team that they have faced six times in the past four years. This is similar to the situation with Atletico Madrid.

They are now in fourth position in the Bundesliga, six points behind Stuttgart, who is in third place. They have won just one more game than the total number of draws and losses they have experienced throughout this season. RB Leipzig is only one point behind them in the fight to qualify for the Champions League.

Paris Saint-Germain, number six
Despite the fact that they finished in second place in their group, Paris Saint-Germain continues to be a team that possesses a great deal of skill and unending momentum, as they have already essentially won the Ligue 1 title. It is possible that Kylian Mbappe could leave the Paris Saint-Germain team in the summer, but he will be aiming to win that legendary trophy in order to make amends for the reason that the club spent so much money on selecting him.

In the round of 16, they easily eliminated Real Sociedad, who were coached by Kieran Tierney, by a score of 4-1 on aggregate. However, Arsenal will undoubtedly have an advantage over the French champions despite the fact that they are of high quality. There is a significant decline in the number of goals scored by players other than Mbappe. The massive sums of money that were spent on Goncalo Ramos and Randal Kolo Muani are not returning, which may not be what they had hoped for. Additionally, the Gunners’ midfield would not allow any players from Paris Saint-Germain to break into it, and possibly the defense as well.

Italy’s Inter Milan
In addition, Inter Milan is another team that has yet to advance to the quarterfinals of the competition. The team coached by Lautaro Martinez has a lot of pedigree in the game, and despite the fact that Napoli won the Serie A championship the previous year, the Nerazzurri are currently in the lead for the championship. They have accumulated 75 points, which is 16 points ahead of AC Milan, who is in second place, and they have scored a whopping 70 goals in the league.

When it comes to football, Simone Inzaghi has a team that not only plays well but is also very difficult to defeat. For the first time in a significant amount of time, Alexis Sanchez and Henrikh Mkhitaryan would be reunited with the Gunners. At the same time, Arsenal would be put to the test by other high-caliber players such as Martinez, Nicolo Barella, Marcus Thuram, and Alessandro Bastoni.

Fourth, Barcelona
Oh, those long-standing competitors. The fact that Pep Guardiola and Lionel Messi are no longer with the club does not change the fact that Arsenal would still be a strong contender against Xavi Hernandez’s Blaugrana. The history of these two teams, including the controversial one-goal goal scored by Andrey Arshavin, the final loss in Paris, the terrible red card given to Robin van Persie, and the masterclass that Messi delivered with four goals.

A brilliant eight-goal thriller was played out between them during the summer in the United States, and the Gunners emerged victorious with a score of 5-3. On the other hand, this would be a very different situation, and Robert Lewandowski and his teammates would be seeking to regain their strong record against Arsenal, despite the fact that they are currently dealing with a number of various injury issues.

There is Bayern Munich.
When it comes to European rivalries, Arsenal’s connection with Bayern Munich is perhaps more historic and surely more terrible than any other rivalry they have faced. The last team that the Gunners competed against in the competition before this season’s return, which occurred all those years ago, resulted in a 10-fold aggregate score that was extremely detrimental.

Bayern, on the other hand, is not in the lead in their league; in fact, they are not even close to being in the lead. In fact, they even lost their first leg of the last-16 tie against Lazio before their victory in Munich. There is no question that Harry Kane is the player to keep an eye on, and if the two of them do end up meeting, the motivation that comes from north London will be strong in him.

Second, Real Madrid
There are a lot of people who could have anticipated that Real Madrid would be the most difficult team to draw, but in my opinion, the La Liga leaders are not the most difficult. However, there is no denying that Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Jr., and the rest of the team present the most difficult test on the continent, and they are familiar with this competition like the fingers on their hand.

If Arsenal were to have even a sliver of hope that they would have a chance, it would be an extraordinary experience to be able to watch it. Los Blancos have never been victorious over Arsenal, with their only two encounters being on the path to the final in 2006. In the Bernabeu, Thierry Henry scored a single goal, which was all that was required to overcome Arsenal. Is it possible that more history might yet be written in the capital of Spain?

To begin, Manchester City
Taking into consideration the competition for the championship, the consequences of being eliminated by Pep Guardiola, and the amount of discussion that surrounds both teams, the situation involving Manchester City would be a nightmarish scenario. Despite the fact that Arsenal has already defeated City in the league this season, this is the ideal scenario for Liverpool supporters as well.
