UEFA Champions League 2026/27 Season

Arsenal may not win the UCL this season as well, they had one shot, they got very close and if they won, that would be it, they were not really that much of a team that could win it normally. So if they are not that awesome, how did they reached finals and almost won it and only lost on the final penalty of the finals?

Because they faced very easy teams along the road, that's the reason. They faced simple teams that they did not have trouble with. Their road wasn't City and Real and Bayern and so forth until they faced PSG, their road was like Sporting Lisbon and so forth, simple teams and the biggest team they played against was Atletico Madrid, which they barely managed to beat. Hence, I do not think they will do good next season because they won't be as lucky.

Arsenal play style is totally different from other European team. Arteta tactics is score one goal and then start heavy defence . Some people called it Haramball or Park the bus. But I think we can say football is revolue and modernised and Arsenal are the perfect example of that's. I know Arteta can't win UCl this season with the tactics they use whole season and win Premier. But we all know of Arteta stay consistent with that tactics they can win it next season there is no doubt. Arsenal are the best team in the world.

Compare to PSG who gets several loses during their journey in this competition but Arsenal different but i would call that is ironic for them because since group phase until reach the final games Arsenal unbeated even at the final game Arsenal didn't lose at the normal time because their loses is came from penalty shootout but, this is football which everything can possibly to happen when Arsenal one step closer to the trophy but unfortunately one loses makes them lost it and they have to try it for next season

[bitgolden]

Arsenal has a very good squad and they did very well last season, in a match final someone most win and if PSG won on penalties those not mean they are actually better than Arsenal, everyone has their own approach in a match it true that PSG played more better in the final but one cannot deny the fact that Arsenal did very well in the final they scored a very wonderful goal but PSG was unable to score a clear goal if not for penalty, I will say PSG won the champions league by luck even though they performed better if they can’t score a clear goal they are not good enough,
Next season they won’t lift the champions league trophy again, I believe in that and I know teams know exactly how to stop or play them now.

I would say that PSG definitely is better than Arsenal, but Arsenal got very close so changing anything drastic would not be a good idea, and should not be something they do. In reality, we are dealing with a team that is already very good and should not be really considering how this could change anything.

I think the best we can do in this case for Arsenal would be trying again with the same squad. If they end up trying again and again, then it will not be a problem and they may do better this time.

A defensive strategy is the best way to win trophies and Arsenal successfully executed it last season, winning the Premier League trophy and reaching the Champions League final. However, Arsenal still has weaknesses with a forward line that is less effective at exploiting opportunities to score goals. Perhaps if Arsenal brought in players with above average sprinting this season, it would be much more effective. Implementing a defensive strategy requires a fast forward line, allowing them to create goals when counterattacking. This is what Real Madrid did under Mourinho, Zidane and Ancelotti. Although they played defensively they possessed a deadly counterattack.

So, I think Arteta has been right in transforming Arsenal which previously played with possession, to now employing a solid defensive strategy. I hope Arsenal can make big changes especially in carrying out deadly counter attacks because that way they will be able to win the UCL.

Yes it is definitely true that Arsenal's style of play is completely different from other European teams, as we have seen in the Premier League and Champions League that they start playing defensively after scoring one goal, in fact it's seems that Mikel Arteta won the Premier League title this season based on this strategy and we saw they also fought in the Champions League final. Note that if Arteta is consistent with this strategy then they will be able to play well next season but I think that in order for this team to win the Premier League trophy again in the upcoming season and to have maximum success in the Champions League again, they will have to be equally strong in all departments, based on which they will be one of the strongest teams in football.

PSG to win the CL for 3 times in a row? It doesn't sound unrealistic to me truthfully.    They have already proven their power to the world for 2 years.

Luis Enrique has built an amazing team after Mbappe's departure. He was really the problem obviously because the game was also different those times.

Now there is no player at the centre as much as him. You might say Dembele but the teamwork is much better now which is clear.

Rodri is quite a talented player. So I would not  say he can not adapt to Madrid's gameplay. He was in Manchester city for a long time. But  before that he was at villarreal and Atletico madrid for a few years. So Rodri is well aware of the la liga style of play. Rodri will not have too  much trouble adjusting to real madrid. Another reason for this is that madrid have appointed a new manager. All the players  have to adapt to the new strategy.

Jose Mourinho can tell which team can adapt to his strategy or are already showing some potentials to fit into his strategy, so he would work with those players the more and let the rest of them be or even sideline them in the team. Rodri is a great player and have shown some great potentials over the years in the team, so I don’t think that he won’t be an option to consider in the squad, he will be used by Jose Mourinho and will have the ability to show and better himself in the frontline. Real Madrid needs all the best players they can now to be able to pose a great challenge for the title and I know that Jose Mourinho won’t be found lacking in choosing the best players to represent the club well in all competitions next season.

Real Madrid will have to say goodbye to some players to get back on track, even though those players have increased their strength in the team, they are the main threat to the team. Jose Mourinho will definitely choose his best squad, release the rest and buy some new players as he sees fit. The main thing is that Mourinho has to make sure which team he can control and which team will obey him. If he fails to improve the relationship between the players, Real Madrid will fail too. So the players who are a problem for the team, they will have to let go.

Young are not totally correct because it is not all game arsenal do play defense. Arsenal only play defense when they see a game they are not sure they will win, that is if they see the team they are playing against is going to be a threat to them just like the final they played with Paris Germain. They knew before that time that Paris Saint Germain is Inform and coming out to play would cost them and I think that was the reason they played defensive but they still played well later in the dieing minute.

PSG to win the CL for 3 times in a row? It doesn't sound unrealistic to me truthfully.    They have already proven their power to the world for 2 years.

As long as PSG keep Enrique and he keeps the current squad intact, it wouldn't be surprising to see PSG win the UCL three times in a row.

Luis Enrique has built an amazing team after Mbappe's departure. He was really the problem obviously because the game was also different those times.

Now there is no player at the centre as much as him. You might say Dembele but the teamwork is much better now which is clear.

In fact, Mbappe was not the only reason PSG failed to win major titles. However, for Enrique, the system he uses now works better without relying on a single player. The team prioritizes collective play rather than depending heavily on Mbappe. As a result, after Mbappe left, PSG became more consistent and stable as a team.

They are very much deserving of the champions league, qualifying for it, they have actually put in the work to deserve it, even next season i believe they will be able to get the premier league and even the champions league if the perform better than they did in the last season. they have all it take and they probably have the capacity to put in the needed work to get it done.

Arsenal performance in the previous season has been good. They were always close winning the league in the past but it just didn't work for them but at last they have finally won on after 22 years. Honestly arsenal performance has always been better,they were just unlucky over the past years. I think arsenal can win the title again next season because they figure out why they weren't able to win all those past years and that was why they able to win it. However next season will be competitive  if arsenal can maintain their better form and performance, I believe nothing can stop them from win the premier league back-back.

Honestly Arsenal were just lucky to win the premier league trophy with their defensive strategy, but with the kind of pressure I saw them receive from Paris Saint Germain in the champions league final, I'm not sure if the defensive strategy is going to work for Arsenal next season. People were just eager to see Arsenal lift a trophy, that's why they didn't pay much attention to their defensive pattern, because once they score one goal they started defending and another thing they lack is attack, they have weaknesses there.

There are several problems with Vinicius that Real Madrid need to solve.
The first is that he wants to be the main star of the team and has the biggest fan base possible because of Mbappe.
On the other hand, there is also a serious problem between Mourinho and Vinicius after the match between Benfica and Real Madrid and some reckless comments Mourinho made about Vinicius.
If these problems are not solved, it will greatly affect the team spirit and unity and affect Real Madrid's results in the new season.
I think that Real Madrid is currently in a transitional phase and that next season they will not be competitive to win the Champions League, i.e. at the level of PSG or Bayern.

If the altercation between Mourinho and Vini is something that needs to be resolved, I know Vini wants to be the best, but he needs to understand that he can't be compared to Mbappé. Firstly, because Mbappé is already a world champion, Vini isn't. Vini was the reason Xabi was kicked out of Madrid. I think Vini's reign with Mourinho is over. If he doesn't adapt to Mourinho, then Mourinho won't play him. That's why they're developing good players; it's better that way. The bad thing is that Florentino loves Vini a lot.

Arsenal have do all there best and won the league last season they have been waiting for the opportunity but last season they get it and won it. Artete really get that happiness and the players. I wish they get the chance to win the champions league too so that they can get that full celebration but they failed. Next season they will do everything possible to win more titles so that they can be getting trophies and fans can probably talk about and compare them with other big clubs. Arsenal just need to sign some new players because there strikers are not that strong enough and Saka as not be in a good form last season they need to look for good replacement for him next season.

Arsenal actually did there best and at least we won the premier and that is now in the past the next season is what we all what we should be talking about because what are the plans that arteta are making for the club next season because we are expecting him to do better next season, and most people did not want us to win the champions league I don't know why but at some point arsenal deserves to break the record that is the only way that the things can makes more sense to people and how is it possible for them to be able to win just like when we don't prepare enough.

And the way arsenal strikes is just too weak we need arteta to strengthen the club and now that the world cup is ongoing he should looking for more prominent players that they can work together that will help the club because what we are aiming at is just not about the club we need something better at this point and for some season saka have not been in form of not saka is also one of the good assets that we have.

Well, he can adapt, that's possible, but I don't see him as having the style that Real Madrid's players are looking for. Generally, the midfielder is the one with the most responsibility at Real Madrid. Look at Kroos, he did a fantastic job, and Modric was even better. When they left, Real Madrid fell apart, and that's something we all saw. The forwards and the defense look ridiculous, but it's not because they are bad, it's because nobody creates plays for them.

I know Arteta can't win UCl this season with the tactics they use whole season and win Premier. But we all know of Arteta stay consistent with that tactics they can win it next season there is no doubt. Arsenal are the best team in the world.

You know that it comes to a point when how you’re playing doesn’t even matter again but how you’re able not to concede goal and win the game is what matters the most, this is the case of Arteta in Arsenal. As long as you can win the game, it doesn’t matter if it’s an old pattern of football or the modern way, football in itself is you being able to win your game and Arteta is getting it all right.

I would say that PSG definitely is better than Arsenal, but Arsenal got very close so changing anything drastic would not be a good idea, and should not be something they do. In reality, we are dealing with a team that is already very good and should not be really considering how this could change anything.

Repeating the same pattern all through is not really a bad idea if that pattern is working for them  and they can prevail with that pattern. PSG have been playing greatly well and they are also not a very bad choice and deserved the trophy they won against Arsenal. Arsenal dominating and finishing the champions league unbeaten is a big record that we will expect something big from them next season.

Arteta would have definitely come to the realisation that people have noticed and understood this his pattern and may likely want to come at him with another that will counter it, so he may not continue with that same pattern or style of playing this time around.  But then it is not easy to completely abandone a tactics that got you a trophy, they will definitely use it at some point but not all through the season. He has the mentality that he does not need too many goals to win you, only  a few goals and he is sure he gets the points he needs.

For those who have been watching football for sometime now, you can easily tell when Arteta started this whole haram and low block game. In the 2022/23 season, they played a decent attacking style of football, and couldn't get their hands on a single trophy. They where able to secure the community shield at the beginning of the 23/24 season but that wasn't a major trophy. I think they also played the same attacking system of football in that same season, and still didn't get a trophy. The 2024/25 was a mix of both attacking and defensive, but it still didn't go their way. So, I guess that was why Arteta choose to go completely defensive in the 25/26 season, and it paid off trophy, while getting so close to winning their first European trophy.

I think with this trophy that has been won, the pressure is already off his shoulders. And from what he has said, especially after the UCL loss, Arteta is likely to change Arsenal's playing style in this coming window. They're already in the market, scouting for attackers, so there is a chance that we might get a more balanced system from them this coming season, and not just attackers, but also an attacking coach.
