Arsenal qualified last to the semifinals in UCL 2008/2009,and after that time, we have not seen them in the Champions League semifinals again. This shows how poor their participation in champions league is. It will not be different from the previous. Assuming they were given a different club and not Bayern Munich, maybe there will be hope for them.
What you say is true, I don`t follow the Premier League in detail, but if I am not mistaken Arsenal are first in the table so let`s say it can`t be too bad
Of course they face a team with a lot of experience and a rocky team, but we are almost at the end, all the matches will be difficult and uncertain
