You were all keen to have your say, so here are some more of your views:

Glen: Overall, I thought Arsenal dealt with PSG very well and restricted them to very few real goalscoring opportunities. The one gripe I have, although I love him as a player, is why Eberechi Eze did that stupid stuttering run-up? It just doesn’t work or even look comfortable. Marcus Rashford did it for England and missed, so why do it? Just have a good run-up and thump the thing. Why don’t these managers tell their players that those run-ups are rubbish?
Jan: My thoughts are that Arsenal got to the final, they did their best and it was a great game for all. No Arsenal player needs to feel they have let the club down because they have been amazing all season. At the end of the day, no other club in the UK got to the final. Well done, lads. I look forward to seeing you next season!
John: After Arsenal scored a brilliantly taken goal, they didn’t really have an answer to PSG’s fast-possession play and they were slowly ground down. During the penalty shootout, the two Arsenal players that missed were the ones who tried to take glamorous penalties. All you have got to do is hit the target – no-one can criticise you if the penalty is saved. That is what cost Arsenal the trophy.

Martyn: A fantastic defensive display by Arsenal. I think fatigue took its toll, though. In the last 10 minutes we were shattered and didn’t have any new answers. I also felt Bukayo Saka and Eze could have produced more. We still have so much to look forward to. This could be an amazing new adventure, but we need to get the perfect balance between defence and attack.
David: It’s impossible to match teams like PSG when English clubs play so many minutes a season and those minutes are so much more intense. Watch now as a super talented England team look jaded, slow and fatigued. They will all have 10 minutes rest after the World Cup before they start all over again. Fatigue crushes talent.
Sue: I’m so proud of this team and Mikel Arteta. What an amazing achievement. It’s not just about the football, but how they conduct themselves, how they stay together in the face of adversity and how they support each other. Stay strong and be proud.
