Chelsea fans left amused after Mikel hands Arsenal hardest path to the UCL final

The draw for the quarter-finals of the Champions League wasn't the most favourable for Arsenal and viewers were quick to make a connection with the man who was doing the draw.

The Gunners were drawn against Bayern Munich once again and will meet the winner of Real Madrid vs Man City in the semi-finals should they win.

Their route to the final could not be much tougher and fans found it amusing that a former Chelsea player was partly responsible.

Former Blues midfielder John Obi Mikel was drawing the balls at the UEFA headquarters in Switzerland.

London clubs Chelsea and Arsenal are fierce rivals and Mikel looked to have a slightly amused expression on his face as he drew Bayern to face Arsenal.

'John Obi Mikel's reaction to Arsenal getting Bayern Munich is killing me', wrote one while another shared a photo of a man laughing and joked that it was 'Mikel after giving Arsenal the hardest possible path to the Champions League final'.

Another posted: 'John Obi Mikel mentioned Arsenal, Man City and Real Madrid as teams that he wants to see make it to Wembley and then proceeded to draw them all on the same side of the bracket and said nah only one of you init.'

Arsenal will host the reigning German champions in the first leg at the Emirates, before travelling to the Allianz Arena.

Pep Guardiola's quest for a second consecutive Treble will require Man City to overcome record Champions League winners Real Madrid in the quarter-finals.

The quarter-final line-up also sees Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona clash, with the winners meeting either Atletico Madrid or Borussia Dortmund.
