Arsenal end 22-year wait, crowned Premier League champions

The wait is over

Arsenal are Premier League champions. For the first time since 2004, the title is yours. Manchester City's 1–1 draw with Bournemouth confirmed what your team has been building toward all season under Mikel Arteta. It is Arsenal's 14th English league championship, ending 22 years of near-misses and heartbreak. (1) (2) (3) (6) (13)

Trossard leads the celebrations

Leandro Trossard, teammates, and tens of thousands of Arsenal fans erupted the moment it became official. The streets around the Emirates Stadium flooded with supporters. Champagne sprayed, tears flowed, and the party stretched long into the night. (2) (4) (5) (7) (8) (9)

How Arteta built a champion

The patience Arsenal showed with Mikel Arteta has paid off spectacularly. From the early struggles to FA Cup success and repeated near-misses against City, the Spaniard has reshaped the club in his image — disciplined, hungry, relentless. This title is vindication. (10) (13)

Fan reactions

Gunners fans online are in pure disbelief that the wait is finally over. The image of Martin Odegaard at the after-party has become an instant icon, while Pep Guardiola's classy post-match comments are doing the rounds on r/soccer. One Roma supporter put it best on their own subreddit: Arsenal broke their league curse, and it stings seeing another club escape the purgatory you are still trapped in.
