Arsenal drew the short straw

Arsenal have been drawn against Napoli in the quarter-finals of the Europa League, while Chelsea were handed a much easier tie, against Slavia Prague. Valencia will face local rivals Villarreal in an all-Spanish tie while Eintracht Frankfurt will face Benfica in a game that will see Luka Jović face his parent club. Arsenal came back from a 3-1 deficit to beat Rennes in the last 16 this week, winning the home leg 3-0 with two goals coming from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The Gabonese striker pulled out a black panther mask to celebrate, something he has done before during his time at Borussia Dortmund. https://twitter.com/FootballJOE/status/1106307815948410881 Chelsea, meanwhile, destroyed Dynamo Kyiv 5-0 to win 8-0 on aggregate, with a hat-trick coming from Olivier Giroud. Callum Hudson-Odoi also got on the scoresheet on the same day that he received his first call-up to the England under-21 squad.
