While Arsenal are focused on qualifying for European competition, some of the team's loanees are taking part in the knockout rounds of the European competition.
With the chances of winning titles in all competitions disappearing, Arsenal, which has been completely absent from Europe this season, will focus on returning to European competitions for the rest of their matches.
However, some Arsenal players still have hopes of winning a European trophy this season, with Bellerin, Sariba and Guendouzi competing in the Europa League and The European Cup in mid-week.
For them the result of the round was good, with Bellerin and Sarriba helping Real Betis and Marseille keep a clean sheet for Zenit and Karabakh, and Guendouzi also scored.
Interestingly, Karabakh is also the only European goal Guendouzi scored when he played for Arsenal.
The 0-0 draw was enough to allow Betis to advance 3-2 on aggregate, while Marseille won 3-0 to easily pass the 6-1 aggregate.
In the round of 16, Nelson and Niles will likely get playing opportunities.
Feyenoord and Roma are at the top of the UEFA Cup group stage respectively, so they don't have to play the play-offs.
Let's take a look at the next draw.
In the Europa League, Betis will face Eintracht Frankfurt.
In the European Cup, Feyenoord drew a guerrilla belgrade, Roma against Vitesse and Marseille against Basel.
If we're lucky, we should see some arsenal loan players in the top 8 in both competitions. The first leg of the Round of 16 knockout rounds will take place on March 10.
