Arsenal are officially England’s champions. Manchester City’s stalemate at Bournemouth secured the Gunners a four-point cushion with a game remaining. Mikel Arteta’s relentless side can finally celebrate a long-overdue triumph that ends over two decades of heartbreak for North London.

• Season recap: the kings of set-pieces

  Arsenal’s march to the title was built on tactical discipline and unmatched excellence from set-pieces. This season, the Gunners cemented their reputation as England’s premier dead-ball specialists, smashing records by scoring 18 goals from corners in the Premier League.

  This lethal efficiency was on full display in the penultimate fixture against Burnley. Bukayo Saka’s curling delivery found Kai Havertz, who outjumped every defender to power a crucial 1-0 win at the Emirates.

• Return to the summit after decades in the wilderness

  This historic triumph finally closes a 22-year drought.

  Fans must go back to the 2003-04 season to recall Arsène Wenger’s legendary ‘Invincibles.’ Generations of supporters grew up dreaming of reliving that golden era; after years of near-misses and heartbreak, Arteta’s vision has guided this modern, resilient squad to its own glorious chapter.

  Yet this victory was no foregone conclusion: it arrives after three agonizing seasons where Arsenal pushed hard for the title, only to fall short against Manchester City and Liverpool’s dominance.

• Arsenal’s title sealed before final-day tension

  By clinching the crown a week early, Arsenal sidestepped the nail-biting suspense of a last-gasp finale. Manchester City’s slip at a resilient Bournemouth outfit left the Citizens on 78 points, while Arsenal’s impressive tally of 82 points mathematically ended the race with a four-point gap.

  After grinding out a tense victory against relegated Burnley, Sunday’s trip to Crystal Palace promises to be a celebratory lap of honor, turning the final match into a triumphant parade for the new champions.

• Aiming for glory: Premier League and Champions League double

  Now that the Premier League trophy is theirs, one question dominates every conversation: can this extraordinary Arsenal side achieve a historic double by lifting the Champions League?

  Under Mikel Arteta’s leadership, the Gunners have built unshakable foundations, marshaled by Declan Rice’s midfield mastery and a backline that has stifled Europe’s elite.

  With their invincible aura growing, Arsenal face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final on 30 May at Budapest’s Puskás Aréna.

  Claiming Europe’s top prize would crown an already exceptional season and cement this squad among football’s all-time greats.
