Arsenal will face Besiktas in the Champions League play- off

The Champions League draw was finally made yesterday. Arsenal was handed the Turkish side, Besiktas. Besiktas finished third in the Turkish Super League last season.

The Turkish side is managed by former West ham and Everton defender Slaven Bilic and has some prolific stars such as former Chelsea striker, Demba Ba.

Arsenal has never encountered Besiktas in any previous competitive fixture. Well, this is considered a fairly tricky tie but many Arsenal fans fancy their side going through.

The first leg will take place on either 19th or 20th of August with the second legs played a week later.
