UEFA Champions League 2026/27 Season

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.

Yes, we didn't watch a completely different Arsenal this season. They only fixed some issues of theirs this time and it helped them reach the finale. At the same time they had a good draw on their side too of course.

If they can reach this stage then I say why not a CL championship soon? They have broken a leg in the PL finally. It isn't impossible for them to do it here as well.

Arsenal have won the title after a long time. They will definitely want to maintain this consistency. Arsenal's squad is strong and Arteta is also a very clever manager. On the other hand, the situation of other teams in the Premier League is unstable. Liverpool and Chelsea have played very badly this season. It is also not sure whether City will be able to play well next season after Guardiola leaves. I guess we will see a title fight between Arsenal and Manchester United next season.

Liverpool, Chelsea, and Man City even if they did not play well in the last season l still think they all have the resources and quality to bounce  very quickly, most especially with new signing and constant training. And as for City, even if Guardiola eventually leaves, the club i think the club strength is strong enough to remain their balance and remain competitive.

Asernal in this just concluded season have out perform alot of others although not as if Asernal have ever been a weak club ever since previous season but still yet we have to commend them for their performance in the just concluded season and in preparation for the next coming season let see how Asernal current achievements reflect their future performance.

I am optimistic about Liverpool and Chelsea's comeback is possible. However, I cannot say anything about City's comeback yet because Guardiola has left the club. They were in a relatively unstable situation last season, I have doubts about how they will perform under the new coach in the upcoming season and whether the players will be able to adapt. However, they are still strong as a team, now the only thing missing is good management. Chelsea may try to do something good under Xabi Alonso, Xabi Alonso can definitely be trusted. Liverpool may return to greatness in the new season and continue their performance in the Champions League.

Manchester City performance was not bad last season, but the point is that it was not what many people expected from them. It seems like people wanted Manchester City to win the Premier League, but they were not lucky enough to win it.If Manchester City's performance was not good, they would not have been able to win the Carabao Cup against Arsenal, whom we see as one of the strongest teams of the season. Also, if they did not have a good season, they would not have been able to win the FA Cup.

If people consider Arsenal a strong team last season, they should also consider Manchester City a strong team because they were able to achieve some trophies against teams seen as the strongest in the Premier League.It is Liverpool and Chelsea that I see as having had a bad season last season. However, I believe what contributed to Chelsea's poor performance was the coach. If they had a better coach last season, they should have been able to compete for the Premier League and possibly win at least one trophy.

Chelsea have good players, and with a better coach, they can achieve better results. Now that they have Alonso as their new manager, we are going to see the way Chelsea bounce back quickly.As for Liverpool, I expect most of the big teams to be very competitive next season because many of them have changed their managers. As for Manchester City, I don't think their form will drop because Enzo Maresca is the new manager, which I believe guardiola may have thought him many things in how it can handle the team properly

Last performance cannot or may not determined the performance or how a team will play in the next season and I don't think Manchester city didn't perform even though there was some little mistake initially but later they corrected the mistake and take control of the game at the dieing minute and if not for their mistake, they would've also taken the trophy from arsenal as usual but Arsenal on the other hand corrected their mistake and take advantage of that opportunity.

There is a lot of time for these teams to have a proper comeback. The transfer window is open and they have chances to buy players that may fit the manager and overall team and help it progress for good and elevate it. Talking about city then you are right, when a new manager comes then no matter how good a team’s performance was the momentum stops and the new manager has to start rolling that ball again for momentum. So with a new manager the team struggles a bit and takes time to adapt and if the manager is good they even elevate further and deliver better performance than they did in last seasons. For city they might take time to settle and when they settle they’ll be dangerous.

If the performance of the team is not improved in the new season don't expect to see a different performance from them but if the new coach will have a different tactics in the team there may be some changes if his players adapt to it faster but if not, the team may even become worse than last season. Arsenal has their manager and he's still with them if other teams do not improve we may see Arsenal dominating the league for next season again.

[Shussainshah]

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.

That's really much a motivation speech for Arsenal.  HuH Arsenal are good team they reached UCL final and that's can't shock me if they reached next year UCL final As well. They way Arteta team are playing this whole season it's was something they prepared from 3 year and the quote are perfectly fit in this Arsenal team. Try Try again Oneday you will win . And I think if they try again next season they can reached to the final. Arteta Defencive Tactics really work this season if they are consistent nothing can stop them.

Among all the teams you mentioned Chelsea is number one that disappointed me because I expected a lot from them due to the players they have but they failed, which is why I was so disappointed by their performance. Manchester United actually fought very well because if they could not be able to get to the level they are now, so many people will give up on them because they have good players. It got to a certain level when people start wondering on how to locate Manchester United problem but finally it was a resolved, movie experiencing a lot of competition in the Premier League and also in the Champions League.

Manchester City still have that strength because pep Guardiola have left but his spirit still remain that is why I am so confident for the New Coach because those players are world class player who still have strength to perform very well.

[RockBell]

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.

Arteta was one of their favorites, and he seems to be their favorite and to have come closer to winning the Premier League, and I was happy he was able to win the Premier League, but what would have given me the most joy would have been the Champions League, and we are supposed to look for a way for things to even get better, I expected more than one trophy and you just identified one of our major problems which is lack of strikers.

is not just to be defensive, he needs to bring in strikers. That is the only way that we can do something even different, and when we have all these things in check, we are going to be able to do the unimaginable because having it will be having one of the best resources. Arteta needs to take his job even more seriously because I feel like there is a limitation at this point, and because of how unstable we are, a lot of other clubs have been looking down on us. Arteta needs to do better.

[Alex077]

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.

hmm, Arsenal were strong for most of the match. Arteta's system is also reliable and they eventually won the league. But depending on set pieces alone in the challenging UCL next season will not do. Look at the World Cup form, such as the Netherlands attacking depth today also impressive. It emphasize how deadly attackers become when they have innovative support

So if Viktor Gyökeres cannot be provided with the ball properly next season, team's overall performance will suffer. Transfer windo is open,, they now need a creative midfielder who can provide the ball properly.

I do not see Manchester City as a team that did not play well last season, they did well, they only  did not win the Premier League but they did well, and I agree with you that the above mentioned teams all has potential for next season with commitments and extra effort for improvement, they can and will achieve far much more then we can even think of, Chelsea and Liverpool can strive to get to top five if it happens they cannot contend for the title, but I believe Manchester city can.

Manchester City will undergo a managerial change, and the team will continue with a new coach. The Guardiola system we've been used to for years will be gone. I expect success from Manchester City next year because their squad is capable of it. However, if they are not successful, we may see an early managerial change. The new manager will be expected to perform at a similar level to Guardiola, but in football, Guardiola is one of the top levels for a manager. Not everyone can be like him.

[Ryu_Ar1]

...
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.

But it's curious because now it's inevitable that someone will have to be dropped from the left-back position when Cucurella is here we go to Madrid so it's possible that Fran Garcia and Mendy will be gone. For Carreras it is unlikely even though he is still very young but we know this season he has been outstanding and always active in defense and helping the attack.

These two players (Cucurella and Carreras) are quite dynamic and although they have a similar style of play but I would prefer Mou to keep these 2 players even though Mendy is quite strong and Fran Garcia is not bad either.

Currently Mou is focusing more on defense but the winger position is also now vacant. Rodrygo is still ACL and Mastantuono is still not up to expectations but Endrick is back although I don't really know whether or not he will still fit into Madrid's scheme.

They have worked hard enough this season but in the end positive results do not come from just a handful of players but from one club because it would be quite useless if Mbappe continued to score goals and even became the top scorer but their defense had many gaps and their teamwork was poor which made their performance not very good.
I don't think it's very good if we only highlight a handful of players here when what is weak is the whole club not individuals and their internal problems that surfaced at the end of the season also made their situation even worse.

Real Madrid tried hard. But they could not  win a title for two seasons in a row. I would like to point out that it was the manager's  failure. Because Brazil's squad was not weak at all. It was a very  strong squad.

Madrid's defense was also not weak. The manager couldn't use the players properly. Madrid has a lot of talented and experienced defenders in their  squad. I think madrid's biggest weakness is their midfield. The effect of the midfield being unstable is visible in their overall performance. The understanding between the  midfield and the attack and the  defense is probably not good. That's why madrid is not able to play consistently well.

Madrid needs to  strengthen the defense as well as the midfield next season. If they can buy Olise, it will be the  best for them.

Madrid's defense is not weak? That's bullshit because there are still a lot of mistakes from communication of injury problems and individual player mistakes that make them look quite bad even for the defense I can only see Carreras and Huijsen alone while others like Rudi, Alaba or even Asencio they are quite bad this season although the reason may be for Alaba and Rudi is injury problems and Asencio is still quite young but it still shows that their defense is weak. I intentionally didn't mention Militao because he is still quite good but ACL a few times might be hard for him to regain momentum in the future.

Madrid's midfield is unstable because they don't have a good attacking motor because their attacking brains that were previously in Kroos and Modric in these 2 seasons no one can replace but that also doesn't make the defense better for me because most cases of individual mistakes actually often occur here.

Manchester City will undergo a managerial change, and the team will continue with a new coach. The Guardiola system we've been used to for years will be gone.

Why will you conclude that it will be done?

Before Maresca took over do you know what he has been thought?
I personally fell the system will remain the same, at this point I view Maresca as second Guardiola, I expect the same performance from them.

The new manager will be expected to perform at a similar level to Guardiola, but in football, Guardiola is one of the top levels for a manager. Not everyone can be like him.

Pep has become inextricably linked with Manchester City, having brought them great glory. However, that's the way it is in football some come and go, and now he's decided to leave Manchester City to seek a newchallenge perhaps coaching the national team someday.

Manchester City has now appointed a new coach Enzo to replace Pep Guardiola. In the eyes of City management, Enzo is likely the right choice as they see him as a world class coach. However, at Chelsea he lacked the freedom Guardiola enjoyed in management freedom in player transfers, player commitment on the pitch, healthy competition in training and a desire to win. Enzo now has it all he just needs to apply his skills at Manchester City.

Furthermore, Manchester City already has a system, a strong foundation and it's all about continuing it. However, every coach is different and it's impossible to be the same as Pep Guardiola. Hopefully, Enzo can keep City in the hunt for titles in both the Premier League and the Champions League. Perhaps one thing I'm skeptical about is that City already has a lot of experienced and star players. But will the appeal of players to City decrease after Pep leaves? I'm curious about this part.

There's no way Chelsea will bounce back next season because they won't participate in the champions league next season, and it has been a while since Chelsea had a strong performance in the champions league. But I agreed with you about Liverpool and Manchester City, they can surely have a strong performance in the champions league next season. Officially, Enzo Maresca is going to the manager of Manchester City  next season and even without him signing any players, the current players they have can do the job well for them.

Arsenal have won the title after a long time. They will definitely want to maintain this consistency. Arsenal's squad is strong and Arteta is also a very clever manager. On the other hand, the situation of other teams in the Premier League is unstable. Liverpool and Chelsea have played very badly this season. It is also not sure whether City will be able to play well next season after Guardiola leaves. I guess we will see a title fight between Arsenal and Manchester United next season.

First of all, we have the World Cup ahead of us, where we'll be watching new stars. After that, we'll see new and strong transfers. Then, teams will be rebuilt and prepared for the next season in a very different way. So, it's too early to talk about next season right now; a lot can change. Teams that were ineffective this year could become very strong next season; that wouldn't surprise anyone.
I don't think making predictions right now is very important

[Different patterns]

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.

You made a very good point, PSG played with confidence and didn't play with fear or under pressure they kept creating chances and persistence until the continued pressure from PSG paid off for them, which shows they are one of the strongest teams in Europe. Also Arsenal was able to maintain their discipline in the defense and were able to handle the pressure from PSG for a long time because in a final game like this, small details can determine the game, a moment of better decision in attack, bravery in possession and even a moment of luck can go a long way to determine the game. So a team can prepare well for a game and still lose because football is decided by fine margins and arsenal were able to handle them well for long just that the persistent pressure from PSG became successful at the time it was needed most. It must be disappointing for arsenal to lose the final, but this will serve as an experience for their next champions league campaign.
