Arsenal tonight begin what is a tough opening in the revamped Champions League, away at Atalanta.
The Gunners made progress in Europe’s elite club competition last season, reaching their first quarter-final since 2010 before eventually going out at the hands of Harry Kane’s Bayern Munich.
Their return to the grandest stage was another example of how Mikel Arteta is moving to restore former glories but the Arsenal chief has been dealt a difficult hand in the new-look league phase.
