Their Premier League title dreams may be pretty much over, but Arsenal have already achieved the goal they set out to achieve at the start of the season. In Mikel Arteta and Edu's project the plan was to have achieved Champions League qualification by this season, and with five games to go they did exactly that.
While the Gunners have a long history in Europe's top competition, it's unchartered territory for most of the current squad. Mikel Arteta has already admitted that things are going to change as they look to adapt to the new challenge of playing elite level football every three days.
"With the level that is required for the Premier League and to fight for the Champions League, the way we have to fight for the Champions League, there’s a lot to think about," he admitted after the 3-0 defeat to Brighton on Sunday. With that in mind football.london takes a look at what Champions League qualification will really mean for Arsenal.
