Champions League draw simulated as Arsenal are handed horror route to final – but all-English tie at Wembley is on
WEMBLEY could host an all-Premier League Champions League final on June 1.
The modern edition of the national stadium will stage the showpiece occasion for a third time.
And it could yet host an all-English final – after Manchester City and Arsenal made it through to the quarters.
Holders City serenely sailed into the last eight by defeating Man Utd’s conquerors Copenhagen 6-2 on aggregate.
The Gunners made harder work of their task, edging past Porto on penalties earlier this week after a 1-1 aggregate score.
Both remaining English sides will learn their potential routes to the final in tomorrow’s draw.
Ahead of the anticipated 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.
The Spanish giants are top of LaLiga, and overcame RB Leipzig to reach the last eight.
Should Arsenal somehow make it past Madrid, they would then face the winners of Barcelona vs Bayern Munich in a mouthwatering semi-final.

Facing the latter would see former Tottenham duo Harry Kane and Eric Dier return to North London bidding to haunt Arsenal once again.
On the other side of our simulated draw, City pulled Paris Saint-Germain.
Kylian Mbappe has been in and out of the PSG lineup in recent weeks amid news that he is leaving at the end of the season.
But you can guarantee that the Frenchman will be bang up for finally trying to lift the Champions League before leaving Paris.
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.
