22 years. The wait is over.
You are Premier League champions. For the first time since 2004, the trophy is coming home to north London. Manchester City's draw with Bournemouth confirmed it: Arsenal have won the title with a game to spare (1).
Mikel Arteta wasn't even watching. He was in his garden, lighting a barbecue, when his son ran out screaming: "We are champions, papa" (1) (3). The manager who rebuilt this club from the ground up learned about his greatest achievement from his own kid. Tears, chaos, joy. Everything this fanbase has waited for.
Hamilton: 'I shed a tear'
Lewis Hamilton couldn't hold it back either. The F1 legend and lifelong Arsenal fan admitted he cried when the title was sealed. His sister convinced him to support Arsenal years ago, a decision that paid off in the most emotional way (2) (10).

Transfer chatter: Guler and Kroupi
Two names circling. Real Madrid are determined to keep Arda Guler despite reported Arsenal interest (11) (12). Meanwhile, Bournemouth forward Eli Junior Kroupi is on the radar but Chelsea are in the mix too, and the Cherries insist he is not for sale (7) (13). Nothing imminent on either front.

Arteta isn't alone. With Unai Emery at Aston Villa and Andoni Iraola at Bournemouth, three Basque managers are shaping the Premier League. Arteta just beat them both to the biggest prize (5).
Final day: the party heads south
Arsenal travel to Brighton for the last matchday with the title already wrapped up. Expect celebrations in the away end, a guard of honour, and a team playing with the pressure finally lifted (9) (14).
Fan-reaktioner
The mood is pure elation. Fans are sharing videos of the Premier League trophy being engraved with Arsenal's name for the first time in 22 years, a moment many thought would never come. Gabriel Martinelli's emotional reflections on the journey have hit hard, especially for supporters who remember the dark early days of the rebuild. Sevilla even sent a classy public congratulations, a gesture the fanbase has embraced warmly.
