Udinese president Giampaolo Pozzo is relishing the Champions League play-off against Arsenal.
The Italian side, who finished fourth in the Serie A last season, were drawn with the Gunners in Friday's draw.
And although it's argubly the toughest possible draw for both team, Pozzo insists he is eagerly looking forward to it.
"It will be a fascinating adventure, like going to New York for the first time," Pozzo told La Repubblica.
"Arsenal are a historic club and it will be a pleasure being involved in this tie. All the games at this level are difficult.
"In these instances you have to be lucky and face these experiences with a certain philosophy."
The first-leg takes place at the Emirates stadium in London on August 16, with the return fixture on August 24 at the Stadio Friuli.
