Actually Arsenal should not even focus in winning the Champions league now, their main focus should be winning the EPL instead which they have a better chance of doing even Man city who have been dominating the EPL found it hard to get their first Champions League Trophy even with excellent players and a coach like Pep but with time they finally did which I think Arsenal can if they are consistent enough to snatch the EPL champions title from Man City.
City's has been on fire, but let's not sleep on Arsenal. Arteta's has some guys acting with passion. Last year, they knocked Bayern out as they went toe-to-toe in the Champions League. Although this new structure will be a grind, Arsenal could find it useful. Whether it's the Premier League or Europe, Arteta won't let them sloppiness. This year are they claiming the Champions League? Possibly not. Still, they might surprise a lot of people and maybe surpass last season. In either case, more high-stress games will help this team only get better
Arsenal did not eliminate Bayern Munich last season, because Arsenal were in fact eliminated in the quarter-finals because Arsenal lost in the second leg against Bayern Munich. In the first leg Arsenal played at home, and Arsenal managed to hold Bayern Munich to a draw with a score of 2-2 but unfortunately, even though Bayern Munich was in a not entirely good situation last season but the reality is that Arsenal still lost 1-0 by Bayern Munich in the second leg.
But indeed, over the past two seasons Arsenal managed to have a good performance because in the Premier League standings Arsenal also managed to become a team competing in the title race. Thus, then maybe Arsenal will also still be able to improve their quality next season, so Arsenal's chance to qualify for the quarter-finals or up to the semifinals still seems to have a chance too next season.
