In Budapest, Arsenal's Champions League dream dissolved not in a moment of drama but in the slow arithmetic of a game they barely touched — 25% possession, one shot on target, a single goal defended for 120 minutes until penalties delivered the verdict. The loss to PSG revealed something deeper than a bad night: a tension at the heart of a club that has mastered survival but not yet dominance. Mikel Arteta now stands at a crossroads familiar to all great builders — the methods that brought you this far may not be the ones that carry you further.
