Luciano Spalletti was happy to see his Roma side paired with Arsenal for the next stage of their European adventure.
The Eternal City side won Group A, edging out Chelsea, and were rewarded with a fixture against the struggling Gunners.
While there seemed to be easier ties available, Spalletti seemed pleased with the outcome.
“The first thought was that we were looking for a great challenge and we got it, so we can approach the game without fear,” the Tuscan tactician asserted.
“The draw is very good. We weren't unlucky because now we have strong opposition we need to show our quality.
“I am impressed with Arsenal's policy of using young players and lots of them will become great champions.”
