Villarreal will be Arsenal's next Champions League opponents should the Gunners manage to overcome Juventus after the Spanish side beat Inter Milan on away goals.

Inter led 2-1 from the first leg at the San Siro but it is Villarreal who progress, and having already beaten Everton and Rangers in Champions League knock-out matches this season, they will be looking to make it a British hat-trick should Arsenal make it.

The only goal of the night at El Madrigal came when Juan Roman Riquelme's free-kick drifted into the box and as the Inter defence remained static, Rodolfo Arruabarrena stole into the box to glance a header past Francesco Toldo in the 58th minute.
