This time the stage was Basel, Switzerland, with both teams having established themselves among the strongest in the women's game.\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"825\" data-end=\"1169\"\u003eI made this drawing while staying in London, looking after my brother's house and his two cats.

Prince William and Princess Charlotte were there to support England, while Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofía travelled to support Spain. It felt like another sign of how much the women's game had grown, drawing attention and support far beyond the football itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1516\" data-end=\"1991\"\u003eWhenever I look at this drawing, I remember more than the football. I remember those days in London, the quiet company of two curious cats, and the voices from two countries coming together through the radio. England successfully defended the European title they had first won in 2022, while Spain once again showed why they remain among the strongest teams in the world. This drawing has become a memory of both the match and the place where I happened to be when I made it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cassandra Constant - ArteBall","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53349237031240,"sku":"V-JQCNTCW8","price":320.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0852\/3582\/7016\/files\/AB296W_Web_Main.jpg?v=1785495456"},{"product_id":"crystal-palace-v-arsenal-2026","title":"Crystal Palace v Arsenal","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"456\" data-end=\"687\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003eThe final day of the 2025–26 Premier League season always carries a special atmosphere. By Matchweek 38, every result becomes part of the history of the season, with titles won, farewells made and new records waiting to be written.\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"689\" data-end=\"1042\"\u003eArsenal completed a magnificent campaign to become Premier League champions under Mikel Arteta. Watching the celebrations unfold, I was reminded that football is not only about individual matches but about everything that has happened over an entire season. The final whistle brings months of work, hope and resilience to a single moment of celebration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1044\" data-end=\"1421\"\u003eThis match also marked the end of an era. After ten remarkable years in English football, Pep Guardiola took charge of his final Premier League match as Manchester City manager. Great careers are often measured by the trophies they win, but they are also remembered for the influence they leave behind. Guardiola's decade in England changed the landscape of the Premier League.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1423\" data-end=\"1781\"\u003eOne detail especially caught my attention. Arsenal's Max Dowman became the youngest player ever to win the Premier League title at just sixteen years of age. Football has always fascinated me for its records and milestones. Every season seems to create another statistic that future generations will remember, and I enjoy noting those moments as they happen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1783\" data-end=\"2062\"\u003eWhenever I look at this drawing, I see more than one championship celebration.

Even at nine o'clock at night, the temperature was close to 30°C, creating an atmosphere that felt different from many of the cup finals I have drawn.\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"673\" data-end=\"996\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe match was only four seconds old when Real Sociedad scored. Goals that arrive so early always fascinate me because they instantly change the story. Coaches, players and supporters all have to adjust to a completely different match from the one they expected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"998\" data-end=\"1489\"\u003eWatching the celebrations, I found myself thinking back to another Real Sociedad final. They had won the 2020 Copa del Rey, but because of the COVID pandemic the final was postponed for a year and played in an almost empty stadium. Although they lifted the trophy, supporters were unable to celebrate the achievement in the way everyone had imagined. I drew that match too, and I have always remembered the strange contrast between such a historic victory and the silence that surrounded it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1491\" data-end=\"1796\"\u003ePerhaps that is why this drawing feels so special to me. Five years later, Real Sociedad were once again Copa del Rey winners, this time with the joy of supporters fully shared. Football has a long memory. Sometimes a celebration has to wait, and when it finally arrives, it seems all the more meaningful.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cassandra Constant - ArteBall","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53349303222600,"sku":"V-0YUDKKMC","price":280.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0852\/3582\/7016\/files\/AB-314_master_web_main1.jpg?v=1785879418"},{"product_id":"paris-saint-germain-v-arsenal-2026","title":"Paris Saint-Germain v Arsenal","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"200\" data-end=\"436\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003eThe 2026 UEFA Champions League Final brought together Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal in Budapest, with Europe's biggest club prize hanging in the balance.

Those moments are unlike any other in football. Everything that has happened over two hours suddenly comes down to a handful of kicks. For an artist drawing live, the tension is extraordinary because, just like every supporter, I still have no idea how the story will end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1250\" data-end=\"1632\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eWhenever I look at this drawing, I remember the uncertainty more than the result itself. Drawing a match live means discovering its story as it unfolds, just like everyone else who is listening to it on the radio. When I work on a commission from the past, I already know the result, but the match still surprises me. The commentary, the rhythm of play and the small moments between the goals reveal a story that can never be understood from the scoreline alone.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cassandra Constant - ArteBall","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53349312987464,"sku":"V-FY9NO11Z","price":420.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0852\/3582\/7016\/files\/AB-322_master_web_v1.jpg?v=1785863396"}],"url":"https:\/\/arteball.com\/collections\/launch-collection.oembed","provider":"ArteBall","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
