Arnold hoping Wolfsburg avoid PSG in last 16

Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League last 16

The Bundesliga side secured top spot in Group B on Tuesday
with a 3-2 victory over Manchester United, Vierinha and a Naldo
double ensuring their fourth win of the group stage.

Wolfsburg will now be seeded for the first draw of the knockout
stages on December 14, meaning they cannot face a fellow
group winner.

However, they could be paired with PSG after the French
champions finished as runners-up in Group A behind Real
Madrid.

"It was very important [to win the group] as it means we will
play against a team that's finished second in their group," he
told the German Football Association's website.

"Although that doesn't make too much of a difference as it's
difficult against anyone in the round of 16.

"Ideally it would not be PSG next. We could draw the short
straw, but anything from this stage onwards is a bonus.

"We should enjoy the next round and just do our best." Group B
winners can avoid a Champions League last-16 clash
with Paris Saint-Germain
