Pedro hopes Barcelona avoids Arsenal, City in Champions League round of 16

Pedro Rodriguez has said that he hopes Barcelona avoids draws against either Arsenal or Manchester City, when the draws for the Round of 16 is made on Monday.
The Catalans finished on top of their Champions League group, with a 6-1 hammering of Celtic at the Nou Camp on Wednesday and will face one of the team who finished second. Those clubs would include Arsenal, City or Bayer Leverkusen, Schalke, Galatasaray or Zenit St Petersburg.
The Spanish winger has however said he would prefer not to face any of the English clubs at this stage.

“It would be good to avoid Arsenal and Manchester City,” said Pedro, who scored his team’s second goal against the Scottish champions, ending the match as a contest well before half-time.
Blaugrana coach Gerardo Martino, was more cautious when he was about about who he would prefer to face, but stated that knowing their opponents would help prepare well.
“I have no preference for future opponents,” Martino said. “We have to see how things are in 60 days’ time. The only advantage of knowing is to be able to prepare well for the games, but we have to open up other fronts now like La Liga and the Copa del Rey. What we had to do in the Champions League, we did. Now we must just wait.”
