This is the first CL final since 1966 between teams from capitals. Is that a coincidence? Is there something in it? Why has London performed? Is it about to change? With @jonawils and @JackPittBrooke

Arsenal are the perfect champions for this deeply weird season. And having toppled the superpower, they are perfectly placed to win more.

🚨📊| THE STAT THAT DEFINES ARSENAL'S TITLE-WINNING SEASON.🏆
Across 61 matches in all competitions, Arsenal have been behind for just 403 minutes.
That's it.
To put that into perspective, the Gunners have played 5,490 minutes of football this season and spent only 7.3% of that time trailing.
Even more astonishing?
▫️ Arsenal have trailed by 2+ goals for just 26 minutes ALL SEASON.
Those 26 minutes came in the Carabao Cup Final.
Not in the Premier League.
Not in the Champions League.
Not across a gruelling 61-game campaign.
Just 26 minutes.
In the Premier League, Arsenal have spent only 8.6% of match time behind on the scoreboard, the second-best record in the division.
This is what elite control looks like.
While other teams rely on comebacks, chaos and moments of magic, Arsenal's dominance starts much earlier:
🔸 Rarely fall behind
🔸 Rarely lose control of games
🔸 Relentless defensive structure
🔸Elite game management
🔸 Consistent for 90 minutes
The biggest compliment you can give Mikel Arteta's Arsenal isn't that they win.
It's that they almost never allow opponents to dictate terms.
For years, critics said Arsenal lacked mentality.
Now they're one of the hardest teams in Europe to put behind, let alone beat.
This isn't luck.
This is coaching.
This is structure.
This is control.
This is a champion's mentality. 🏆
