Champions League 2025/26

[BenTheFox]

Taking Griezmann off was bizarre. He looked like their best bet of getting them back into it.

I wouldn't bet against them turning the final into a slog and winning it tbh. They're nowhere near as good as the other pair but it doesn't feel beyond the realms of possibility. Too many seem to think it's a foregone conclusion (obviously I hope them and their fans called Ollie, Toby, Harrison etc get slapped)

Wild that this is only Arsenal's second final.

They should have got to the final in 2004, best team in Europe

that season bar Porto

[walkerleeds]

The only saving grace is Bayern or PSG will surely tear them apart.

Dislike Arsenal as much as the next man but they were the better side over the 2 games and Arteta managed it well with his changes. Rice and Gyokeres were good and hopefully Saka can build up some form heading into the world cup.

 

PSG or Bayern should beat this Arsenal side, but it wont be a foregone conclusion with how solid Arsenal are.

[Ian Nacho]

Will Arsenal ever learn not over celebrating when they haven't won anything? I get it to degree but having fireworks etc is tinpot. 

[adejo92]

Looks such a dead ground.

 

Every Arsenal fan I've ever met has zero personality.

 

Just a proper nothing club.

 

Arsenal win the Champions League & Forest win their European cup and its probably the worst season in footballing history given Coventry going up and us playing Anstey Nomads in League 1 next season.

 

Night take up water Polo

Please don't let these win for the the good of football.

[Nalis]

Deserved winners over two legs

[Guest]

Makes for a grim spectacle but they are undeniably very good at what they do unfortunately

[Tommy Fresh]

Just a very unlikeable club aren't they, a few of the players are alright but on the whole most of them along with the fans, manager and "look at me" coaches are ****ing unbearable. 

 

Reckon they'd beat Bayern but get slapped by PSG in the final

 

 

[Benji]

For the love of football these can’t win the final.

[RowlattsFox]

I'd trust PSG to be good enough to beat them. Not sure about Bayern, think Arsenal could do a job on them. 

[Leicesterpool]

Can't have them winning the champions league, part of the joke Arsenal is that out of the so called big six they have never won the champions league. Hopefully Arteta will bottle it, can't help think that PSG or Bayern will be too strong in the final.

Its weird. I dont really dislike any of their players individually, and like quite a few (Raya, Rice, Saka, Calafiori) but Arteta, their pragmatism, and their fanbase tip me over the edge.

They're not defensively good enough to keep out either of PSG or Bayerns front 3 and their front 3 isn't strong enough to go punch for punch.

 

Not to mention they've got a proper title race to contend with and a very emotional fan base.

 

I really cannot see them having the energy to do it in the final. Could see it being a bit like last seasons final where Inter just ran out of steam. Not 5-0 but just a straight forward win for either PSG or Bayern.

Gabriel, Trossard, Martinelli, Ben White. Also add in they continued to play Partey, lovely club

Massive underachievers in Europe.

I couldn't believe it was both him and Alvarez.

[EastAnglianFox]

This has to be the longest season in living history 

 

when the fvck will it end, like seriously now!

[21st Century Fox]

As much as I’d love to bottle the Arsenal tears of a Harry Kane hat trick in the final, I have a gut feeling Kompany would end up doing something tactically naive and get exposed by Arteta’s shithousery.

 

 

[BenTheFox]

It's mad to think the mood surrounding Arsenal just a couple of weeks ago and now they're three very winnable games away from the title and in a champions league final.

Having lived a few years in grimy North London I don't associate their fan base with ya Ollies, ya Tobies. Which is funny because in the late 90s they were your quintessential club of the middle class nouveau fan, as spoofed in the fast show.
