The last time Man United failed to progress in the group stages, Arsenal went all the way to the finals and lost 2-1 in the final minutes against Barcelona with 10 men on the pitch for most of the game.
They say history repeats itself, now both Man United and Man City are out. Arsenal has progressed very well although everyone was criticizing them that it might not progress.
We topped the group and we have avoided teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona. The major threat is teams like Basel who shocked Man United and Napoli who seems very confident. But In Wenger We Trust because previously no English team had won at Madrid nor San Siro but Wenger did it by beating teams like Real Madrid and AC Milan when everybody else was expecting that we could loose.Apart from Barcelona the teams that normally hindered our progress in CL was basically from England, for example there was a time whereby we were knocked out by Liverpool and then later Man United. Those are the two teams that normally go create problems for Arsenal. With only Chelsea now, our hunger for trophy might end soon by winning the major European trophy which Wenger hasn’t brought it to Arsenal home ground yet.
