I think arsenal have a problem not only in the squad but also in the mentality of the team, I have repeatedly noticed how in the most important moments they make mistakes that end up being solvable. Last season, compared to the previous one, things were much better, but still not perfect. But it's fair to say that Manchester City made a lot of mistakes last season, too. Besides, for the Champions League, the psychological stability of the team is very important

Is it about mentality or form of strength which is still considered weak when faced with stronger teams. Of course, the question of mentality is something that is often said, especially in the Champions League. Of course, in the Champions League, every team must be able to exert extra strength when they face a team they have never faced. If you look at the changes made by Arteta, of course he has made great progress in improvement after improvement, but if Arteta continues to fail in bringing trophies, of course in the final assessment he will fail to make changes.
Arsenal target may not be the UCL trophy but they are more focused on the EPL trophy as they did in the previous season. I think they need to lift the EPL trophy first before focusing their strength on the Champions League.

But the squad that Arsenal currently has is actually more than enough, they have players who are actually great and can be relied on because Arsenal is one of the best teams in the Premier League and can always give surprises when playing against other big team there.
But it would be shame if big competition like the UCL shows that Arsenal is team with fairly weak mentality, they seem to be declining and seem to lose confidence every time they compete in the UCL, this is problem that must be eliminated.
Basically, mentality will greatly influence the success of team when competing, those who are confident in their strength and abilities will definitely play very well, it just that the problem of mentality is not an easy matter to solve.
But in the future we will never know how Arsenal will develop, whether they focus on the Premier League or the UCL, it will all depend on how they develop and what their strengths are like in each match.

Arsenal is a very good team and I agree with you that they will be able to have an excellent run in the champion league considering the fact that they have made some excellent signings and above all Jorginho has signed the renewal of his contract with Arsenal which personally is a a player who I like very much even if he didn't shine in these European games with Italy but he will have time to make up for it on the big stages
