The Gunners' long wait to add to their 13 top-flight titles was ended when Pep Guardiola's side dropped points in their penultimate match, the game in hand they had over their rivals. It left Arsenal with an unassailable lead at the top and kicked off the celebrations in north London. Mikel Arteta's side will formally be presented with the trophy on Sunday after their final match of the season at Crystal Palace.
They could still make it an historic double for the club as they chase their first Champions League title in the final against Paris St Germain later this month. The league title ended a six-year period without a trophy and is Arteta's second major honour in charge after the 2020 FA Cup victory. Midfielder Declan Rice posted a picture on Instagram with his team-mates with the caption "I told you all..
it's done. " Former Gunners boss Arsene Wenger, who led the team to their last title, in 2004, featured in a celebratory post from the Gunners on their X account. He said: "You did it.
Champions go on when others stop. This is your time. Now, go on and enjoy every moment.
