UEFA Champions League 2026/27 Season

definitely, what you say is absolutely correct and among other things i can say that in my opinion, don't get angry, Arsenal are superior to Paris Saint-Germain.
I see them as a more complete team, only the penalties defeated Arsenal, otherwise they would certainly have won.

I was also expecting a different ending, I saw a competitive and compact Arsenal this season, I don't know if they will be able to replicate or even improve next season.
They only saved PSG on penalties, in my opinion they didn't have that much of a gap in performance.
But now it's pointless to argue about the past, we can predict very little about next season, several months and the market still open leave doubts as big as a skyscraper.
I would wait a little longer before trying to predict anything, which I think instead that next Champions League season there will be several Premiere teams that I think will create a nice movement.

In a team, signings can bring about a big change or a big disappointment.
However, I am convinced of one thing regardless of whether we are talking about Arsenal or any other team, Arsenal played a really good game in the season that ended, they suffered every now and then but despite this they continued to achieve more than they thought.
So the mentality and style of play with a great guide is possible that it gives great results, if a "help" comes with some targeted purchase perhaps they can achieve the same or even better result with minimal effort.
But at the root of it all remains the game mentality and team spirit, which is what really matters, you see Manchester United during the championship have only changed that (the game spirit).

Arsenal can only improve and i think this will happen over the course of next year, i believe that with the right mentality everything can certainly go well, having the chance to do well is necessary to find a team that can win the Premier League next year too.

It's about available players in their club but surely after winning Premier League title and going to final match in UEFA Champions League, Arsenal will have more money for player transfers in this summer. They have a competitive squad already and with one to three more star players to strengthen positions they were not too good in the last season, next seasons Arsenal will become very dangerous and can win other titles in Premier League and Champions League.

Everybody thought the same way for Liverpool last season, but you're right, Arsenal is not changing coach, and Arteta's strategies only gets better, he understands how to move forwards, and ways to decipher his opponents tactics, he could fail on the first and second encounter, but definitely he'd win. His prove of this is the title he won after being the runner up three consecutive times.

Arterta satisfied the conditions to be retained as the head coach and he's close to signing a new contract with Arsenal. I agree that his tactics would get better but he needs not continue relying on his only defend and set piece pattern of play. He should have more strategies to deploy especially when his normal routine isn't working. I believe Arsenal would still do well in the next season but UCL 26/27 would be really more competitive as well.

Because basically, Arsenal at that time was already ahead and after that Arsenal should not relax their attack because it would certainly make PSG players more panicked. But the problem at that time, Arsenal actually played a defensive strategy, which ultimately they conceded penalty kick. So, yes, after that, Arsenal's mentality seemed to be weakened, and they ultimately lost on penalties. And regarding the Champions League title, I'm also quite impressed with PSG's two-season triumph. So, if PSG can win again next season, it would certainly equal Real Madrid's record, but I don't think it will be easy.

Paris Saint-Germain played excellent football, but in my opinion if Arsenal would have had more courage and even a bit more luck, they would certainly have had the chance to go further and not even get to penalties but this is what happened and i think this was also a bit of bad luck, nothing else.

with the world cup and the transfer window still ahead of us, it’s very hard to make predictions for the next champions league, but i think psg will be one of the favorites again next year. if they win the trophy again next season, that would mean three consecutive wins. it may seem too hard but most people didn’t expect them to win two in a row either. at the very least, i think we’ll see them in the semifinals or the final. once the transfer window closes and we’ve seen how the players perform in the world cup, things will become clearer.

I think PSG will still remain my favorite to b2b for the third times. They remind me when Madrid won UCL three times in a row. The key is that same squad composition, same coach, creative plan, good chemistry and consistency. I don't think there is a club that can prevent them to win UCL again next season.

It's because all of big clubs such as Madrid, Barcelona. Liverpool, City and etc are facing transition. So PSG looks like the only proper club to win UCL again.

...
Now Mou has come and there are high hopes for him this season especially with the new squad now although I don't know why Mou brought back a right back (Marc Cucurella) when there are already 3 right backs at the moment (Fran Garcia, Mendy and Carreras) but I hope this season Madrid will be much better than the previous 2 seasons.

This means Mourinho sees great potential in Cucurela, making him his top priority in this summer's transfer window. Even though Real Madrid already has three defenders, Cucurela is still one of the best defenders right now, and he will likely be a key player for Mourinho to shape their strategy.
So I think Mourinho is currently planning something big for Real Madrid, and hopefully, he will deliver something much more exciting and a Real Madrid that is even more hungry for trophies.

When they didn't win the title for a long time, they kept Arteta because they saw the good progress he was making and now that they've won the title, it's only fair that they keep him, and in terms of style of play, last year I said they lacked stickers, now they have Gyokeres but the style of play looks the same. The problem is not so much the reliance on set pieces or defense, but also not getting the right midfield player to accompany Gyokeres, they need to find that player so that next season they perform much better in the UCL and maybe reach the final again. Although I kind of doubt it.

The ideal team is that whose management makes due with what they have to achieve their goals, Enrique's defense is slow and incompetent, but he devised a way to clean up the mess there by strengthening his attacking force. The debate here is that Arsenal needs a formidable attacking strength, but Arteta made use of his defense to balance for the flop at the forward line, which is not perfect at the time. The both coaches are good, the only difference, like a professor once said in class, that you're greater than your competitors with just a little difference or skill you have they don't possess, that is the uniqueness between these two coaches, Enrique have more technical and psychological tactical strength than Arteta

exactly, the manager has to deal with his own means, which he has at his disposal, sometimes it's not always easy because they always have to play against everyone, and the problems never come alone, but Arteta did everything to be the best and was able to make this team unique, an incredible job.

Serious changes creates multi advancement in a physically fragile team, employing Rice to the Arsenal team made the team more formidable, Arteta was smart enough to go for high performing Academy players like Saka, he left behind underperforming high paid players, and brought in more competent players like Saliba and Gabriel. Those changes he made is now fetching the club more exposure in heights they wouldn't have reached had an impact like this wasn't made.

If we are being very honest we all will admit that Arsenal defense strategy saved them from losing conceding more goals because PSG was ready to play an open game that would see both teams scoring against each other like they did with Bayern Munich. Arsenal only target brought the early goal and they continued to defend may be if they had kept on playing massive defense and massive attack they would have scored more goals to secure the trophy.

Snip

There was one English commentator and former player and he said before the semifinal or the final that they should already build a statue for Arteta because with the players he had, it is not normal to win the UCL. I agree with that, from all the teams in the semifinals I think Arsenal had the worst players. Maybe they are like Atletico Madrid, but they don't have many of the best.

Declan Rice in the midfield, Saka is kind of good, or very good, but he is not one of the best in the world on his position and that's it.

Nobody expected that Arsenal would march through the knockout stages the same way they performed in the league stage.

If it's just about Arsenal team not being of equal strength to PSG it makes sense to agree with that as it was very clear by the stats in the final and the result too. But, what I wouldn't agree on is the mark on Arsenal team having worst players,  that's a disrespect to them. Playing in the UCL and encountering many teams credible teams. I can't say they got to the finals by luck, they worked hard for it but only met a better side than them in the finals they lost.
Arsenal has one of the best team in the world which means they've some of the best players making the team too.

Winning the Champions League consecutively is extremely difficult and rare. Real Madrid achieved this feat in the past, and PSG has also done it, but winning the European Champions League three times consecutively is even more difficult, and I highly doubt that PSG will reach the final in the next edition.

I know they will keep most of the good players from last season, I know they will keep the same coach from last season, but even so, I highly doubt that PSG will even reach the final. Therefore, it will be even more difficult for Arsenal to reach the final again next season. I know that neither team should be underestimated in this way, but in my opinion, neither team will reach the final again.

Arsenal is not superior than Paris Saint-Germain because if you look at Arsenal's statistics, they are the most balanced only in defense but PSG, the champion of the 2025/26 season, is a team that is equally balanced and complete in all their departments. You are right that Arsenal lost on penalties, but they could not make the right decisions and choose the right players, as a result of which they missed penalties several times in the UEFA Champions League final, but PSG is the best team because they have been constant in their improvement for 1-2 years, but we hope that next season will be Arsenal's because they deserve it.

I'm not certain about arsenal winning any trophy next season but one thing is certain and that's the fact that they are now better than the way they were in previous seasons, even though they don't win the trophy they are still going to perform well. If they can correct the mistakes they made in the previous season then they might have a chance.

[tygeade]

They didn't really "change" the playing style, they just got better at it and people thought it was a change. They weren't some super attacking team before this season neither, hell prior to this season they never had a proper striker neither, Gyokeres is the first proper striker they had, they were using Jesus who is more of a false nine than a striker, and even this season Gyokeres didn't play in every game, instead Jesus played many games.

So yeah, they were always a defensive team, but they just did it way better this season and this allowed them to get better. Set pieces were the real difference maker, they scored so many goals from corners and free kicks, which they didn't last season or before so that made the biggest difference.
