true and in the end I'll tell you, in my opinion Arsenal deserved to win in the final, yet it didn't happen
Obviously this left me a bit like this, I don't think Paris Saint-Germain will be able to win a third Champions League.
in fact its strength is crumbling

That's true PSG were just lucky against Arsenal to have won their second champions league and I doubt if they'll be that lucky this season again. From the start of the season PSG has been struggling although the season is just getting started and there's enough time to get things back in order but having a slow start might have an effect on them. We are in a new season so everything would be different definitely, I can't say for PSG yet but Arsenal still very much in good shape and it makes me believe they can go all the way this time rather than PSG winning their third champions league trophy.

This was exactly what I was trying to explain for someone regarding Arsenal being defeated by PSG, arsenal standing highest chances of winning the title but unfortunately it wasn't their time because that was the only thing that I used to convince myself because they did absolutely well that season, and again for this season they are started with a very beautiful performance, which I still have hope that they can still go as far as they did last season. I don't think PSG will be able to win this time around because they are performance is not encouraging at all or should I say they are reserving their strength for the champions League, let wait and see how it's going to be.

Let the truth be told and shame the devils. Arsenal's has actually done very greatly last season and even the final that was played against Paris Saint German, no one expected that the match would ended that way  because all the expectations were high, Paris Saint German got a big chances and defeated them by struggling. This particular season again Arsenal actually started it well and I believe they will do more better than before, losing one match is never an excuses or a reason to judge them so quickly, they will bounce back and work on themselves to achieve the best this season.

It's been quite a while since Barcelona won the UCL. If I'm not mistaken, the last time Barcelona won the UCL was in the 2014'15 season, which means it was almost 11 years ago.

This is why Flick will have to manage his players very carefully, because if he ever finds himself in a situation where his wingers aren't able to play, no matter how many good substitutes he brings in, it will never be the same. That's why it's crucial to know how to rotate and understand how much playing time to give his team.

Over the years, Barcelona have got us used to being dazzled by their brilliant performances. As you quite rightly said, the best defence is attack, but I often prefer to look at it differently: rather than thinking that attacking is the best defence, I believe that if you have possession of the ball, your opponents cannot hurt you – and in that respect too, Barcelona have impressed us with their tiki-taka..

I think Barcelona's tiki-taka was once a clear winning trait, though after years it became just tiki-taka that didn't lead to anything. And this got boring because it slowed the game down significantly without creating any real dangerous situations. Flick's current style of play has brought this typical Spanish tiki-taka back to the heart of Barcelona's game, but with a bit more attacking flair that leads to goals.

PSG should not be taken lightly. They are mainly playing with the Champions League in mind and are reserving their energy. And as last year's champions, they will want to keep the trophy at home at all costs. They have been very aggressive from the start to secure a place in the last 16 in the knockout phase, so that they can fully hold to the top of the points table. So they are temporarily playing in Ligue 1. They will have many opportunities to collect points during this long season. So I think there is nothing to doubt about PSG so far. Rather, I think now the Ligue 1 clubs should create a big gap with PSG, so that PSG is under some pressure.

Honestly with how affected Barcelona was when those two players broke down on injury, if it wasn't a club that's very strong they wouldn't have won the trophy the way they did because the struggling were becoming unbearable on the remaining players and they even had to give Rashford more privilege than they intended. Every season will definitely not going to be the same in terms of injury so I don't think those players will suffer another serious injury this season, although we cannot say for certain but I just have the confidence that they will not go through the same problem all over again.

The team certainly won't intend to proceed in the same way as last time. As for Rashford, i think he has a similar story to Lukaku's, in that there are clubs where he just doesn't work and the right thing to do is to leave. When Lukaku went to play in England, he never managed to make a difference in the Premier League, while when he went to Serie A, he was one of the best strikers ever seen. The same goes for Rashford: he went to Barcelona and had a great debut season, so much so that i was convinced they would keep him, and since he's returned to England, he's once again performing at the limit.

The performance of every team in the champions league usually comes with a different approach with what we see them performing in the league games. PSG may not look so good now and considering that the season is just starting for them too, but I won’t say they’re not a great feat for the champions league trophy. They won their first game of the champions league just like Arsenal, we haven’t yet to see any retrogression from them, not for now but we shall get to see how things unveil.

Arsenal, PSG and many other teams are doing well and are a very good choice for the champions league trophy win. As time gets closer and the competition gets more intense, we can get to see and tell which team has the more chances of winning the title. PSG is a big team and they’ll want a third successive win of the champions league but time will really tell if they can really pull this through like they did the last time.

It's been quite a while since Barcelona won the UCL. If I'm not mistaken, the last time Barcelona won the UCL was in the 2014'15 season, which means it was almost 11 years ago.

That's why it's crucial to know how to rotate and understand how much playing time to give his team.

11 years is a very long time for Barcelona, a big team, not to win a UEFA Champions League title. Barcelona has had quite a few problems, especially after Messi left, and they even faced a financial crisis. Only recently, in the Flick era, Barcelona's financial crisis has started to improve, but so far they haven't been able to win the UCL title. Last season they only reached the semifinals after losing to Atletico and this season Flick's target remains the same to win the UCL title.

Everyone knows that the UCL title is one of the toughest tournaments to win. Even the strongest teams aren't guaranteed to be champions because a single mistake can change the course of the game and determine the final result.

That's why every team with targets in the UCL always tries to go as far as possible. Besides prestige the revenue from the UCL is also huge and can provide additional budget that helps improve finances strengthening the team in the following seasons. This is also what Barcelona did under Flick. So, every step in the UCL is not just about chasing trophies but also about building a financial foundation for the club's future.

Yes , I also agree that  it wasn't their time, but stop thinking like Arsenal had the higher chance of winning i in the firt plac t.

There was no way the squad depth was as strong as that of PSG. I mean, everyone f knew it before the game but still believed and hoped that Arsenal could also do it since they maintained a good record throughout the Champions League phase. Finals are always unpredictable btw.

 Arsenal themselves messed up at the head with the strategy plan they had for winning the UCL, which eventually didn't work out in the end.

Barcelona and Flick have a lot of players and their roster is huge. I think that they will be able to always rotate their team and rest players especially if they play against weaker teams. National breaks hurts Barcelona because all of their players are playing a lot and i wouldnt be surprised if someone gets injured and hopefully its not one of their main players
