Arsenal fans are think that facing Monaco is their best option given the calibre of opposition they will be up against in the Champions League knockout stages…
The Daily Mail conducted a poll which asked Arsenal fans which team they would like to face in the next round of the Champions League.
As Arsenal finished second in their group behind Borussia Dortmund, they will be up against the winners of another group.
The Gunners can’t face Chelsea or Dortmund again, leaving Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid, Monaco, Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Porto as their potential opponents.
Almost half of the fans asked opted for Monaco when asked who they would like to face in the next round.
Given list of teams that could be drawn against them, even oil-rich Monaco would be a blessing.

The French side have lost five times in their domestic league, despite a lack of competition, and look the weakest of the group winners.
Arsenal shouldn’t underestimate the side though. They earned impressive, hard fought wins over Bayern Leverkusen both home and away to top the group, and conceded only one goal throughout the entire group stage.
Despite losing Falcao and James Rodriguez, they have experienced names like Jeremie Toulalan and Joao Moutinho in the side. They are also packed with exciting young talent like Layvin Kurzawa and Geoffrey Kondogbia.
