ENGLISH Premier League side Arsenal was handed a tricky tie against Turkish giant Fenerbahce in the Champions League play-off round after the draw was made on Friday at UEFA's headquarters in Nyon.
The Gunners, who reached the 2006 final where they lost 2-1 to Barcelona, will travel to Istanbul for the first leg to be played August 20-21 before returning to London for the second leg, scheduled for August 27-28.
Fenerbahce's potential participation in the group stage though depends on a ruling from the Court of Arbitration for Sport, expected at the end of the month, having been banned from European competition by UEFA for match-fixing in domestic competition.
Meanwhile, seven-time winner AC Milan face Dutch runner-up PSV Eindhoven - a rematch of the 2004-05 semi-final which the Italians won on away goals - while French side Lyon will play Real Socieded of Spain.
German outfit Schalke was paired with Ukraine's Metalist Kharkiv, which faces a UEFA hearing into match-fixing claims next Tuesday that could determine whether they are eligible to take part in the competition.
In the champions route, Scottish title-holder Celtic was drawn against Shakhter Karagandy, which will see Neil Lennon's men make a 6400km trip to Kazakhstan.
