TIKI-TAKA: are we approaching the end of its dominance in club football biggest stages?

The renowned style of play which centers around the dominance of possession and gradually dismantling opponents with striking blow as widely adopted by teams such as Barcelona, Arsenal, Bayern Munich has helped these teams dominate Europe especially  for a long period  in contrast to other philosophies and play pattern such as the dogged defending and counter-attacking by teams such as Athletico Madrid, Real Madrid and Chelsea some years ago,  or the Heavy  Metal or Gengen-pressing as well as the Counter-pressing played by teams such as Dortmund and Liverpool under Jurgen klop. Judging form the fact that the possession  based philosophy had been successfully adopted by successful teams in recent times, teams such as Chelsea, Tottenham as well as Liverpool all play an entirely different pattern leaving arsenal as the only team in the finals of Europe elite club competition with its(Possession-based) identity.This could possibly mean an end of an era of possession football and a new age of mentality and aggressive attacking play as employed by the other teams in the final.

Let's get into the trills.
