Every elite team will always find a way to reach the top this season. Gunners performance have not pleased me because they're just consistent for a season and the next season, they're no where to be found. Perhaps they've change and when I say that, we can be looking at the new Gunners this season. Expects the long winnings and also doing exceptionally brilliant from Arsenal. Mikel Arteta and his team should be enlisted to be among the club's to reach significant UCL finals. The UEFA Champions League is not even consider the league.
I agree about that but maybe Arsenal this season is quite different. We know that it will not be easy for Arsenal to reach the quarterfinals and they have to work hard to get rid of Porto first. After being confirmed for qualifying for the quarterfinals, Arsenal once again had to meet again with a past they didn't want to meet and that was Bayern Munich. Arsenal must be quite annoyed at why it has to be Bayern Munich but that's how the draw works and they have to accept the result.
On the other hand, I think it is quite difficult if you have to put Arsenal into the final round and the remaining strong teams have very little chance. But it doesn't rule out the possibility that they could reach the semifinals but of course they have to beat Bayern Munich first and that will be a challenge for all the players. The depth of Arsenal's squad is actually capable enough to match Bayern Munich, but the problem beyond that is history and mentality so Bayern Munich will still be the favorite.
The time Arsenal has to face Bayern Munich is very limited, because before facing Bayern Munich in the UCL there are 3 tough matches and it will drain the players energy. So I'm quite worried if Arteta has difficulty making many rotations. At the end of the month against Man City, you definitely need a solid composition of players and of course the main squad must be deployed. The next 2 matches are no less important because they are an opportunity to get 3 points and Arteta cannot underestimate his opponent.
So based on a fairly busy schedule, I wouldn't expect much if even a draw against Bayern Munich would be good enough. However the issue of dark history is also a shadow for Arsenal players, as if Bayern Munich will use it to break the spirit of their opponents.
