After two decades of near-misses, Arsenal Football Club finally shattered their championship drought, clinching the Premier League title on Tuesday, May 19, following Manchester City’s 1-1 draw at Bournemouth. This historic victory marked Arsenal’s first top-flight championship since 2004, ending their status as perpetual runners-up.

With a commanding four-point lead heading into the final matchday, Mikel Arteta’s squad became mathematically untouchable. Their triumph over Liverpool solidified their 14th English league title, a milestone achieved despite finishing as runners-up in three of the past four seasons—twice behind Manchester City in 2023 and 2024.

The Gunners capped an intense campaign with defensive resilience, outlasting rivals who faltered at critical moments. Now, their sights are set on adding another trophy to their cabinet: the UEFA Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain on May 30.
