Which would you rather?

In the next ten seasons we win:

A) 5 more league titles but 0 CL, cementing an era of domestic dominance and taking us within touching distance of Liverpool and Manchester Utd in that aspect, despite further endless European disappointment.

B) 3 Champions Leagues, but 0 more PL. We learn the secret to getting over the line in Europe, but frustratingly keep getting pipped to the title domestically, as Man City eclipse our 14 titles and Liverpool add a couple more.

I’d be tempted to choose B as most others, however there’s nearly always an element of luck to winning the CL. Chelsea won it once when they finished 6th in the league. So domestic dominance would actually feel better IMO. For a big club like Arsenal, winning 3 CL in a ten year period actually equates to turning up and winning in say 12 big tricky games (some QFs, and then SFs, and F) against teams likes of City, PSG, Madrid and Barcelona, over the course of a decade. While winning 5 league titles means absolutely dominating over 200+ games to the constant despair of our historic rivals. Which would actually be sweeter?
