This is for all the 5 point leads we squandered over the years, losing to Birmingham City in Carling Cup final, Van Persie getting sent off against Barca, 10-3 against Bayern, 8-2 against Utd....and the list goes on! Come on Arsenal!

Arsenal have officially been crowned 2025/26 Premier League champions, ending their historic 22-year wait for the English top-flight title. [1]
Their coronation was mathematically sealed on Tuesday, 19 May 2026, after closest rivals Manchester City were held to a 1-1 draw against Bournemouth. This result gives Mikel Arteta's squad an insurmountable four-point lead heading into the final matchday of the season. [1, 2]
The Decisive Match
A Historic Triumph
This victory marks Arsenal's 14th English top-flight league title and their first Premier League crown since Arsène Wenger's legendary "Invincibles" went undefeated during the 2003/04 campaign. [1, 2]
The success comes after extreme persistence from manager Mikel Arteta. After completely overhauling the squad since his 2019 arrival, the manager endured three consecutive second-place finishes—twice losing the crown to Pep Guardiola's Manchester City and once to Liverpool. [1, 2]
Arsenal will formally be presented with the Premier League trophy on Sunday, 24 May 2026, following their final match against Crystal Palace. Excitement is peaking among fans, as Arsenal can secure a historic continental double if they defeat Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League final on 30 May in Budapest. [1, 2, 3]
Watch the immediate reaction and incredible celebrations as the Gunners secure the title:

- The Heartbreak: Bournemouth took a first-half lead through a spectacular curling goal from teenager Junior Kroupi.
- Too Late: Erling Haaland equalized for City deep into stoppage time, but the match ended 1-1, vaporizing City's title ambitions. [1, 2, 3]

Its been almost a full day and I am still buzzing... have watched the 2025/26 champions short by Premer league a few dozen times, threw a snacks treat to colleagues at office and made sure to invite every disgrunted man city, spurs, Liverpool fan, went to two clubs today to high-five a few gunners, took the family for a dinner and I am just not done.
Years and years of anger, emotions, heartache and frustration comes to an end.
I am sorry so so so glad that we did it while pep was still in Premier league, there wont be any banter now that we had it easy with every club in development.
thank you wenger for the stadium and the history and thank you arteta for today.

Arsenal officially secured the 2025–26 Premier League title on Tuesday, May 19, 2026, breaking a 22-year championship drought dating back to the legendary 2003–04 "Invincibles" era. [1, 2]
Interestingly, Mikel Arteta's squad did not win the league while on a pitch. Instead, the title was mathematically sealed while the squad watched from their London Colney training ground. Their coronation was triggered when second-placed Manchester City stumbled into a 1–1 draw away at AFC Bournemouth. This left Arsenal with an insurmountable four-point lead heading into the final game of the campaign. [1, 2, 3, 4]
The Final Stretch and Celebrations
The title-winning run relied heavily on defensive solidity rather than pure attacking flair. Managed by Mikel Arteta—who became the first former Arsenal player to win the Premier League as a manager—the team dominated the league table for 234 days. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
This Premier League crown marks Arsenal's 14th top-flight league title in club history. With the domestic league wrapped up, the Gunners are now shifting focus toward securing a historic double as they prepare to face Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League Final in Budapest on May 30, 2026.
