Arteta urged supporters to "play every ball together" during Tuesday's first leg, which starts at 20:00 BST, calling it "one of the biggest games the Emirates Stadium has seen."
Arsenal will now play French team PSG, whom they defeated 2-0 in the league phase in October, after defeating defending champion Real Madrid 5-1 on aggregate in the quarterfinals.
The Gunners, who have never won the Champions League, last advanced to the semi-finals in 2009 before losing to Manchester United 4-1 on aggregate.
Arsene Wenger's team lost to Barcelona in the 2006 championship game as well.
"You feel [the weight of history]," Arteta remarked the night before the first leg of the semi-final.
Particularly considering that many of the folks who have worked at this club for a very long time have never held this role. That demonstrates how special and exquisite this is.
"We are creating history. Right now, it's a lovely story, but we want much more.
Injuries to important players like Ben White, Martin Odegaard, Bukayo Saka, and Kai Havertz have hindered Arsenal's season.
Liverpool clinched the Premier League title on Sunday with four games remaining, despite the fact that they have only won one of their last four games.

Liverpool clinched the Premier League title on Sunday with four games remaining, despite the fact that they have only won one of their last four games.
However, in Europe, they have won six of their eight league-phase matches and advanced to the semi-finals by defeating PSV Eindhoven 9-3 on aggregate in the round of 16.
"The fact that we are among the top four teams in Europe speaks volumes about our mindset, spirit, and level of desire," Arteta continued.
Arteta asked the Gunners supporters to produce an even better environment than in the 3-0 victory over Real Madrid, even though Mikel Merino and White's return to training will help his squad.

"I'm not making this up. Areta, who is aiming for his first significant trophy with the team since the FA Cup in 2020, added, "Guys, let's play every ball together. Bring your boots, shorts, and T-shirt."
"Want to do something unique? There must be something unique about that location. Something that we haven't witnessed
After losing to Arsenal in the league round, Paris St-Germain didn't appear to be genuine contenders for the Champions League.
The Ligue 1 team barely made it to the knockout-phase play-offs in 15th place after losing three of their first five European games and winning just one.
But after seven months, Luis Enrique thinks his club is "a more complete team."
The PSG manager stated, "I think there are some big differences [from the Arsenal defeat]."

"I rewatched that game and observed our advancement. We've proven throughout the competition that we're a superior team, in my opinion.
"Our league phase was the most difficult. I initially believed it to be harmful, but ultimately it was beneficial since it advanced our cause.
"Now that we are a more cohesive team, we wish to leave our mark on history."
Despite the departures of Kylian Mbappe, Lionel Messi, and Neymar, PSG, who were crowned domestic champions once more this month, are looking for their first Champions League victory.
After defeating Brest, another French team, 10-0 overall in the playoffs, they defeated Liverpool and Aston Villa, two English rivals, in quick succession.
Luis Enrique claimed to draw parallels between his team and Arteta Arsenal before the semi-final.

He claimed that the manner they attack and defend shows that they are a cohesive squad with strength.
"They work together on everything. Like us, they have several elite players, of course, but they don't depend on a single individual. Despite their injuries during the season, they have maintained their high level of performance.
