With the level that Arsenal has attained this past couple of seasons, there is no team that they can't face even the current European champions Real Madrid or Bayern Munich, Looking at the team there has been a better improvement seen in the team than what we saw when Arteta newly took over, And this season, Arsenal may even have a better performance than what they did in just concluded premier league and Champions League seasons.
The Champions League is still dominated by La Liga teams if based on the number of titles won. Arsenal, Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United should be able to become successive winners in different seasons if they play well each season, but unfortunately in the last few seasons only Manchester City and Chelsea and Liverpool have been able to win it.
Basically I can expect teams from the Premier League to be able to defend the Champions League title in several seasons, but until now they have always had difficulty winning it. In fact, teams like Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea have quality players that allow them to swap places as Champions League winners in different seasons, but this has not happened in the last few seasons. Arsenal will likely go far in the Champions League next season if they can improve their performance, but once again the team lacks mentality.
