Arsenal ace Van Persie: I would love Barcelona, Real Madrid draw

Arsenal striker Robin van Persie admits he'd love a Champions League draw with Barcelona or Real Madrid.

Arsenal beat Partizan Belgrade to finish second in Group H and will now face Barca, Real, Bayern Munich or Schalke in the Champions League last 16.

Gunners skipper Van Persie said: "As a football fan I want Barcelona or Real Madrid, but we'll see what the draw will bring. Those are the games you love to be involved in.

"We have to believe. Everything starts with belief and if you don't believe, you might as well stop playing football. We do believe we can achieve this year."
