Arsenal will be going to Rome twice.

Arsenal main shareholder Danny Fiszman declared himself happy with Roma draw.

Arsenal's major shareholder Danny Fiszman has declared that his club have every intention of planning two trips to Rome this season, as the Gunners contemplate facing Roma en-route to the Champions League final in the Eternal City.

The north London side will entertain the Romans at the Emirates late in February, with the return leg scheduled for mid-March.

With the final of the competition pencilled-in for May in the Italian capital, the Gunners are hopeful of making two trips to the Stadio Olimpico this campaign.

Fiszman insists that the club are satisfied with the draw, and feels that it has been kind to them. He was happy to have avoided some of the juggernauts of the competition, and is pleased that his side have been spared a long away trip too.

He told Sky Sports News: "I think it is a good draw for us. We have stayed away from the favourite of the moment and we have also stayed away from Panathinaikos, which meant a long trip.

"We have a good record against Roma, we are pleased with the draw.

"I think it is the old cliche, there isn't an easy game, but it is an exciting draw, exciting for the fans.

"Our fans will have the chance to go to Rome and hopefully we will do it twice."
