Champions League draw simulated
Ahead of today's event, SunSport simulated the results - and it was a bad outcome for Arsenal.
Our simulation saw Mikel Arteta's side draw 14-time winners Real Madrid.
Should Arsenal somehow make it past Madrid, they would then face the winners of Barcelona vs Bayern Munich in a mouthwatering semi-final.
On the other side of our simulated draw, City pulled Paris Saint-Germain.
Pep Guardiola's side would then meet Borussia Dortmund or Atletico Madrid in the last four.
The winners of this pathway would then be the "home" team at Wembley, getting access to the main dressing room at the national stadium and receiving priority to wear their home strip.
