France, the hot favourites for the World Cup, may have to do without one of their key players at the finals in the USA, Mexico and Canada.

The 2025-26 European season is over, and it ended just as the 2024-25 did 12 months earlier, with Paris Saint-Germain lifting the European Cup at the end of the Champions League final. Saturday's win over Arsenal in Budapest was a much tighter affair than their thrashing of Inter in Munich, but was greeted with no less joy by the French giants and their supporters as they clinched a double having already won Ligue 1.

Declan Rice celebrated Arsenal's historic Premier League title triumph by leading the festivities on an open-top bus, but the midfielder was quick to turn his attention toward future glory. Despite the lingering sting of a European defeat just hours earlier, the England international insisted the Gunners are only just getting started.

Mikel Arteta is set to commit his long-term future to Arsenal following a historic campaign that saw the Gunners finally end their wait for a Premier League title. Despite the late heartbreak of a Champions League final defeat on penalties to Paris Saint-Germain, the North London club are moving swiftly to secure their manager's services.
