For me personally, whether they qualify or not, Arsenal still have to perform optimally, when the composition of players the Gunner has is in ideal condition. After successfully solving Pep Guardiola's strategy puzzle, Arteta ambitions for UCL will be much higher. Remembering that last season Man City was the trophy holder. This opportunity is still open even though in the future the opponents Arsenal will face after the group stage will be much more challenging.
Don't just be able to beat Manchester City in the domestic league and solve Guardiola's tactical puzzle, Arsenal feels confident in the UCL match, I'm not sure they can qualify for the next round after all there are many other great clubs they will face in the UCL, I don't think That Arteta can do that consistently in the UCL and domestic league, even yesterday's victory against Manchester City, I think is normal.
If Arsenal wants to become champions, make sure they can maintain their performance until the end of the season, sometimes they are always inconsistent at the end of the season and in the end Manchester City still wins, Arsenal may have a chance to win any title but I personally am not sure about their current strength still fairly normal.
