Aaron Ramsey appears to have taken aim at his former club Arsenal as he celebrated being back in the Champions League with new side Juventus.

The Welsh midfielder left the Emirates at the end of last season to join the Italian champions and is already feeling the benefits having watched his new team in the draw for the Champions League Group Stage.

Ramsey was clearly happy to be back in the competition and on Instagram took a swipe at his former club, throwing in the side eyes about being happy to be back.

The 28-year-old had initially wanted to stay at Arsenal and sign a new contract, with his deal running out at the end of last season, and the team had offered him a deal.

Arsenal then decided to take the deal off the table, leaving the former Cardiff City player with the chance to negotiate a free transfer with clubs outside of England from January.

He eventually decided to move to Juventus, who have a great record of signing free transfers,

The Gunners had qualified for UEFA's elite competition for 19 years in-a-row but that run came to an end at the end of the 2016/17 season.

This is the third year in a row the north London side have had to settle for being in the Europa League rather than the Champions League.

Ramsey on the other hand will have his best shot at winning the Champions League with his new club, with the Old Lady amongst the favourites to win.

As Italian champions they were amongst the top seeds and will face Atletico Madrid, Bayer Leverkusen and Lokomotiv Moscow in a group they should finish in the top two for.

On Friday Arsenal were in the draw for the Europa League Group Stage and were pulled out of the hat alongside last seasons semi-finalist Eintracht Frankfurt, along with Standard Liege and Vitoria.

Before their European adventure starts this season Unai Emery's team will be looking towards Sunday's North London Derby against Spurs with both sides having had mixed starts to the season.

How will Ramsey get on in Turin, let us know in the comments.
