Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has told his players “we made history” after the North London club officially clinched the Premier League title on Wednesday evening. The Gunners successfully ended their 22-year drought for a domestic league crown after closest rivals Manchester City failed to secure a victory against Bournemouth. The historic triumph marks the culmination of a remarkable season for Mikel Arteta’s side, who have now mathematically sealed the English championship with a game left to spare in the campaign.
The final whistle on the south coast sparked wild scenes of celebration at Arsenal’s London Colney training ground, where players, technical staff, and club officials erupted in joy together. Simultaneously, thousands of ecstatic fans descended upon the Emirates Stadium to kickstart an overnight party across the streets of North London. Minutes after their status as the new Premier League champions was officially confirmed, the club released an emotional video featuring a celebratory message from their title-winning manager to commemorate the achievement.
The monumental victory marks Arsenal’s first top-flight title since the legendary “Invincibles” campaign of the 2003/2004 season under Arsene Wenger. Arteta, who has systematically rebuilt the club since taking the helm in 2019, praised the resilience and dedication of his squad in reaching the pinnacle of English football. With the domestic trophy safely secured, the club will formally lift the silverware this weekend before shifting focus to their upcoming UEFA Champions League final clash against Paris Saint-Germain.
