ARSENE WENGER insists Arsenal will have nothing to fear when they take on AC Milan in the last 16 of the Champions League.
The Gunners were drawn against the defending champions after finishing second in Group H.
But Wenger is convinced his side can beat the Italian giants.
He said: "It's an interesting draw but I believe we can do it if we play at our best.
"It's a good target for us to get stronger for the match.
"That's achievable because we have plenty of young players who are improving, as we saw against Blackburn in the Carling Cup.
"It's an exciting draw. If you look at last season's results then it's the hardest draw because they are the champions.
"It's a big challenge but if you ask me do we have a chance to knock them out, then I say yes.
"If you want to win the Champions League you have to beat the biggest clubs."
