Arsenal: Should Arteta refine style or will it be more of the same for Arsenal?

Arsenal Fresh from Champions League final heartbreak but no time to panic.

Sunday’s Premier League title celebrations in north London can focus on next season’s mission, when they will aim to stay at the top of the English game and go one step further in Europe.

Defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in Budapest on Saturday night came only on penalties ArsenalIts limitations against top class opposition were evident before the spot-kick.

The Gunners had less than 25% of possession and Kai Havertz’s early goal was their only shot on target in 120 minutes of football.

After the game, PSG midfielder Joao Neves said Luis Enrique’s side were “the only ones who wanted to play”.

the former Arsenal Defender and Premier League winner Matthew Upson told BBC Sport that Havertz’s first goal in a sense killed the game.

“Had it been 0-0 in the first half, I think you would have seen a little difference ArsenalBut once you get that goal naturally you slip into a little protection mode,” Upson said.

“Every team does that and obviously PSG dominated the ball then, but the possession figures are really scary for a final with two teams who are the best around. A 75-25% difference in possession in a Champions League final is almost unheard of.”

Arsenal Manager Mikel Arteta described PSG as “the best team in the world”.

He said it commanded them to be mighty Arsenalits style.

He also hinted that his team could emulate the French team’s style of play in the future.

“What they are able to do with the ball, with individual actions, I haven’t seen it,” Arteta said.

“The plan is not to play in certain areas if you don’t have the ball, but they make you do it.”

So the Spaniard will need to refine his style for next season to push on Arsenal At the next level, build their possession numbers and keep challengers at bay?

Or will we see the same Premier League title-winning formula from the Gunners?
