AC Milan chief Massimo Mirabelli has taunted Arsenal after their Europa League last 16 draw.
Arsene Wenger's men learned their last 16 fate on Friday, and will now prepare for the challenge of AC Milan.
"I'm sorry for Arsenal, who I'm sure would have liked to have continued in Europe," said Mirabelli.
"It would have been a nice final, but I'm happy. It's best to face a big club like Arsenal now. We needed opponents like these."
Milan's club manager Christian Abbiati told Sky Sport Italia: "Facing Arsenal is a fascinating encounter. It's bound to be a great tie."
Abbiati was in goal for AC Milan in both legs of Arsenal's last-16 Champions League clash with the Italian club back in 2012.
