UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[Mayor of ogba]

Arsenal were the better team in the game but unfortunately PSG won the trophy on penalties. I would've liked to see Arsenal to win. I'm not upset that PSG won though because I enjoy seeing Luis Enrique succeed. He couldn't celebrate it well after the tragic events he went through last season. This time he looked genuinely happy. PSG are very fortunate to have him.

Arsenal will keep trying to win this trophy. They're one of the best teams in the world and will always be among the favorites.

No, PSG were a better team in the game but they couldn't create more meaning chances in the game because Arsenal parked the bus after they scored an early goal against PSG in the 6th minute. I rooted for PSG to win, I was happy when they won Arsenal on penalty shootout. Luis Enrique is a coach that believe in team work over replying on one player, and so far his belief has helped PSG won the Champions League they couldn't win when they have Mbappe, Messi, and Neymar in their squad, so PSG are lucky to have Luis Enrique.

You could say they even managed to keep control of it, honestly I didn't expect a different ending, in the sense that as I said the performances were balanced and in fact it ended up that I had to play it on penalties.
For me it was a gripping match, the ending in this case is the most adrenaline-filled, it doesn't last long but it's intense.

Arsenal may have played well overall but finals are often decided by little moments and PSG took their chances when it matters seeing Luis Enrique celebrate was great too, after everything has been through it was hard not to be happy for him. Arsenal will have more opportunities, but this was a special moments for Enrique and PSG.

It was a golden opportunity for Arsenal to win the UCL. It took them 20years to come to the finals and they still didn't win the prestigious trophy. My football coach when I was an amateur footballer, would always say that it is better to struggle to get to the finals than to lose in the finals. Arsenal had a very clean record in their path to the finals but they ended up losing to PSG who lost two matches. I don't know when the Gunners will make it to the finals again because they have players who are in good form this season.

Instead of parking their bus so early, I expected Arsenal to have pushed the game further ensuring they won a second goal within the same period they were able to penetrate and score the first goal. Arsenal played the game PSG would have played in the first half with another club but it looks like Arsenal knows how to achieve this better with early goals. My only problem with Arsenal therefore is how relaxed they get after scoring a single goal and opt in for a defensive game. I didn't expect them to practice more of such with PSG at the final, because it is not guaranteed.

[ZeroVinsonN]

Arsenal wins the premier league and all of a sudden they are the most likely to win everything, before now Arsenal has always been unable to carry themselves through to the end of the league, they perform well enough but when it's the moment that counts they fail, I hope they win this champions league but that doesn't mean I'm going to start quoting records of how good they've performed because at t e end of the day it doesn't mean they are better than PSG the simple truth is that the winning can go either way.

Late season collapses can be negated in flash by winning one league trophy. I think cancelling their hyping on ground of recent statistics is a highly adult football opinion. Unique moments, errors and mentality do determine knockout finals and not the records of the season. Perhaps they have their own elite qualities and last experience and this is real battle 50-50. Trophy will not go to the team with the better story or even the young league championship. It will also go to whoever is able to better control their nerves and action their plan that particular night. It truly can go either way.

Exactly, it doesn't matter whether any team just recently pulled off something they've not been able to in a long time and that suddenly makes them invisible, football doesn't work that way, plus PSG also did win their own league so it's not like Arsenal did something that hasn't been done before, they do have a chance to win but the same can also be said for PSG so saying that Arsenal will win simply because the recently won the premier league is so wrong, they are a good team but them winning the premier league has nothing on the possibility of them winning the champions league.

The winner of the cup will be decided tonight. Both PSG and Arsenal will play very well. The winner of the cup, which we've been discussing for days, will finally be known. I expect PSG to win the match in Hungary. Arsenal are very strong and could win this match, of course, but the French team seems stronger.

The winners have been decided, Arsenal gave it their all to the point of even scoring their first goal very early in the game and almost solidifying their defences to the point where PSG would never have been able to score an equaliser but I suppose things don't always go according to plan all the time, that game last night was an amazing watch, seeing PSG will still think end was a very satisfying watch for me, I have nothing against Arsenal but I'm really glad they lost against PSG.

PSG won the Champions League trophy for the second consecutive time on penalties, showing just how important penalty takers are. Gabriel took a very poor shot and missed. Arsenal had more work to do, but they couldn't capitalize on it. In the end, Arsenal were the losers. The trophy went to PSG.

Arsenal was able to score first very early in the game but the stats will show that PSG had more control on how the match played out than Arsenal did, the gap in ball possession was a very wide one and even though the game ended in a draw before the penalty PSG still showed more promise on winning, it was a good thing they won at the end of the day, they had better penalty takers and they took full advantage of that and now they are the champions of Europe.

PSG working as a team when they face any opponent is what makes them stronger and defeat the opponent, Arsenal will have win the game and win the Champions League if not for the pressure they keep giving Arsenal till they make a mistake and give PSG a penalty, immediately after score the goal i know that they will parked the box because that is what they know how to do against big teams as they have good and strong defence, Arsenal only come into the game with one mindset and that is score an early goal and parked the box.

Mikel Arteta don’t have winning mentality and that is what is stopping Arsenal from winning the trophies, parking the bus is not the problem but you have to make sure your attackers are pressing, Saka suppose to be removed in the game from 60 minutes but Arteta did not make any substitution until masquera made a mistake and gave PSG a penalty, winning PSG is not an easy thing but Arteta should have use his head and make a good decision.

Arsenal team made a simple equation to win this game, but they failed to score in this match through their own fault. Arsenal team players were able to score the first goal within the first six minutes of the game. But then they took a break and reduced their attempts to score goals, during this time PSG team players created scoring opportunities and got a goal in the penalty. Later, Arsenal team players and PSG team players were tied at 1-1, and the game continued for a long time.
And Arsenal wasted scoring opportunities several times, but Arsenal team players gave the most importance to the defense. If they had given some importance to the attack department, then Arsenal team could have played a significant role in winning this match. So the reason why Arsenal team players failed to win this trophy is themselves.

yeah PSG won the UCL two years in a row after letting Mbappe go.
Real Madrid had won two UCL titles in the four years before Mbappe arrived. but they ended the season trophyless for the first time in ages after Mbappe joined.
long story short Mbappe ruins everywhere he goes.

For me it was a gripping match, the ending in this case is the most adrenaline-filled, it doesn't last long but it's intense.

I also thought that for a while, they would have made it, i was almost convinced of it, but then they took that penalty against and there was nothing left to do, they lost hope, because going to penalties with a team with that mentality only means that you will lose the tie, unfortunately that's the case and i feel that if things don't change they will win again.

I also thought Arsenal would be able to win PSG in the Champions League final when they were leading 1-0 and stopped PSG from creating any meaningful chance in the first half, but the reckless tackle on Kvaratskhelia in the second half which ended up to be a penalty for PSG gave PSG a chance to level up against Arsenal, if Arsenal had come out from their bus and attack PSG when they were leading 1-0 they would had won PSG because PSG wouldn't have had a penalty against Arsenal.

Arsenal will have more opportunities, but this was a special moments for Enrique and PSG.

I saw the Arsenal squad fight very hard to win this match, their defense was solid, as evidenced by the fact that PSG attack had a very hard time breaking through, and the score remained tied until the end of the match. But once again, maybe it’s not time yet for Arsenal to lift the trophy. For a moment, i thought they would win this final, but after all, this is a final, any player, no matter how experienced, is bound to feel anxiety and tension. Mistakes when taking a penalty are inevitable, and that’s exactly what happened. On the other hand, it must be acknowledged that Arsenal truly deserved to be here, their performance this season has been amazing, which is why so many people speculated that they deserved to be champions.

Arsenal scored early in the match by outwitting PSG defence. They may have planned this before the match but after scoring a goal they increased their defence. If they had played more aggressively instead of defensively, PSG might not have scored. After conceding a goal PSG more aggressive to get goal the desired goal. This was their initial success and perhaps Luis Enrique expected the result to be decided by a penalty kick. I expected Arsenal to be one goal ahead and they would probably be able to hold on to their position but PSG were unstoppable because they played brilliantly on the pitch and were confident of winning.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I'll share my opinion. Arteta tried to stick to his strategy, and he chose a defensive approach. Many people had predicted beforehand that this was exactly how Arsenal would play the match, I think Luis Enrique understood that as well.

Arsenal were fortunate to score an early goal, and that is what allowed them to stay in the game and eventually reach the penalty shootout. However, I believe Arsenal would have earned much more respect if they had played openly, tried to attack, and looked for more goals instead of spending most of the match defending. Every team has the right to choose its own tactics, but from a spectator's perspective, a more attacking approach would have made the game much more enjoyable to watch.

There were so much irregularities in that game but what can we do, the game didn't end just like that, it was penalty shoot that concluded the game. Assuming the match ended in favour of PSG with goal then we can say there is injustice in the game. PSG was been careful with how they were playing the game, I didn't even expect PSG to allow Arsenal score the first goal but they did and they were not even showing how many us expected them.

Although, Arsenal passes were low. PSG was more grounded in that game than Arsenal was doing, it was like Arteta told the team to focus on scoring rather than trying to make impression which is good since they are not even as gallant like the way PSG was from the beginning of the Champions League till the final moments. They should try again next season but this one PSG said they are coming for the third one, it's going to be funny.

Parking their bus so early is not my problem at all because PSG had a better midfield than them, My problem is continuing to park their bus despite PSG's Dembele and Kvaratskhelia removal, worse still when Vitinha was also removed, they were still packing it. Shaa that was their strategy to play against PSG, I don't think they were ever planning to change it throughout the match. I still give them a thumbs up, it isn't an easy battle and to hold PSG to  a full time draw is very commendable.

[aipercoin]

Yes,, it cannot be denied that Arsenal performed exceptionally well in this final, especially their defense. Without a strong defense,, they would have lost, and there would have been no extra time. So, even though I support PSG in this match, I also admit that Arsenal's performance was truly impressive. If Arsenal can continue to perform like this,, I certainly believe they could one day win the Champions League next season.

Arsenal doesn't have many weaknesses in their squad right now; they just need to sharpen their attack,, and that will make them a tough team to beat. So I am also really impatient to see how Arsenal will perform in the upcoming Champions League, because considering that Arsenal is a team that never gives up, so it is very likely that in the coming season Arsenal will definitely be able to reach the final again in the Champions League,, although it certainly won't be easy either.

I never expected such a strong Arsenal, even if i expected it a little, i certainly didn't expect a passive team, the one who surprised me on the negative side was Paris Saint-Germain who didn't manage to achieve much, this makes me think that they aren't in very good shape lately, they've won a lot with luck.

[rachael9385]

As I imagined, it wasn't a one sided game like many people expected, the game ended in penalties, it was very close, and even there, it ended up on the very last shot, 5th shot, to be able to say it was over. Arsenal got unlucky, penalties are about skill but also mostly about luck as well so it is clear that they just got unlucky.

PSG did something amazing, winning UCL back to back, that is not a common thing, after a year of treble, they did a year of double, this is not common in world of football,  in fact, there hasn't been a team that won their league and UCL together back to back in a long time.

Psg got lucky in the game but they got lucky in the penalties, there is a high chance that arsenal would have ended up winning that game but it is quite unfortunate that they didn't end up winning the game. Winning the UCL back to back is quite impressive, psg has proven to be the best club in the world.

[kennycryptoitalia]

The situation is like this: Arsenal is only dependent on the defense, and the attack is performing normally and could not put much pressure on the opposing team. But PSG put pressure on Arsenal from both the attack and the defense. The two teams competed for a long time, both teams fought until the end, and we saw that Arsenal was weak in the end. And there was a sense of disappointment among them, but PSG players performed consistently.
And they built confidence in themselves which enabled them to win on penalties, this season PSG entered the final by winning by a large number of goals with every team but not Arsenal. So it was natural that the final would be different, PSG created scoring opportunities but due to the good luck of both teams, the game went to penalties and PSG won there.

Paris Saint-Germain didn't do anything to try to score many goals, because they knew that if they were exposed, they would concede goals, so i don't know if this team is very poor as everyone says in defense, in fact they did an excellent job, obviously there was a lot of tactics during the match and whoever has the most experience wins.

Arsenal didn't attack, and I think that's the reason they lost. There's a huge difference in attack between PSG and Arsenal, Arsenal were more focused on defense as before after scoring the first goal, but that was their wrong decision, if they could have scored another goal somehow, Arsenal would have had a better chance according to the way the match was going, but unfortunately they didn't change their strategy in the final and played defense as before, and that's the reason they lost. But PSG also played very well, they attacked enough, but in the end PSG won the match on penalties.
