Arsenal's Ramsey looks forward to Champions League draw

Aaron Ramsey is eager to see who Arsenal draws in the next stage of the UEFA Champions League.

The Welsh midfielder scored a stunning brace to help guide the Gunners to a 4-1 win over Galatasaray in their final group stage match in Istanbul on Tuesday night.

The victory saw Arsenal finish second in Group D, behind Borussia Dortmund on goal difference, ahead of the draw which will be held on Monday and has Ramsey waiting to see who the north Londoners will come up against.

"Obviously we came here wanting to win the game so we're happy that we won," he told Sky Sports 5.

"We finished off on a high in the group stages and now we're looking forward to seeing who we're up against in the next round.

"We looked dangerous every time we went forward tonight, which was pleasing, and we scored a few goals which is always nice.

"So we took full advantage of the opportunity. It was nice to get the four goals that we scored tonight."

Ramsey netted twice in the first half at the Turk Telekom Arena - the second a screamer from 30 yards - while Lukas Podolski celebrated a rare start with a classy double either side of the Welshman's brace.
