Champions league has not really been a target for Arsenal especially in recent times, this could be them considering their form and strength not been good enough to be able to compete in such a very competitive games where they are going to need more then just the form they have currently to maintain a stands in the champions league and the premier league along side, it may get them distracted and they may not be able to achieve either.

They have mostly focused their attention to the premier league probably after which they can consider giving the champions league a good trial too with the hopes of getting a very good attempt at the league title either to win or getting to the finals and have it on record to be one of their best attempts at the champions league in recent times, but under the leadership of arteta, Arsenal have not really had a good attempt at the champion's league in the last few seasons that has just past, except in the the new season ahead, they plan to make up for all other seasons of a poor performance.

A very strong winning mentality that is resilient and ready to take on anything while still maintaining the same mindset is all that Arsenal currently needs from both Arteta and the players too, anything less of this may not give them the push for the kind of results they may be hoping to achieve in the new season both in the champions league and the premier league. Last season wasn't a really bad one for Arsenal in the premier league, but in the champions league they weren't very good either, hopefully they will do better this season.
