Arsenal crowned Premier League champions after 22-year wait

Arsenal F.C. have been crowned Premier League champions for the first time in 22 years after rivals Manchester City F.C. dropped points in a decisive result that sealed the title race. The Gunners secured the 2025/26 crown with a game to spare, ending a wait that dates back to the club’s famous “Invincibles” triumph under Arsène Wenger in 2004. It is Arsenal’s 14th English league title and the biggest achievement yet under manager Mikel Arteta. Arsenal’s resurgence has been years in the making. After consecutive near misses in previous campaigns, Arteta’s side finally delivered a consistent title-winning season built on defensive solidity, attacking depth and crucial victories against fellow top-six rivals. Supporters flooded the streets around the Emirates Stadium after confirmation of the title, with emotional scenes unfolding across North London. Many fans described the triumph as a reward for years of patience during the club’s rebuilding process. The success also cements Arteta’s growing reputation among Europe’s elite coaches. Since taking charge in 2019, the former Arsenal captain has transformed a struggling side into champions of England and genuine contenders on the continental stage. For a club that once defined dominance in English football, this title carries historic significance. After more than two decades without a league crown, Arsenal are champions again, and North London is celebrating once more.
