Arsenal are champions of England once again. The North London club ended a 22-year wait for the Premier League crown on Sunday evening.
The Gunners secured the trophy at Selhurst Park. Captain Martin Odegaard raised the silverware high as fireworks lit up the sky. The players celebrated with their fans after beating Crystal Palace 2-1.
The title race ended earlier in the week. Manchester City could only manage a 1-1 draw against Bournemouth on Tuesday. This result meant Arsenal could not be caught at the top of the table.
Manager Mikel Arteta has kept his promise. The Spanish coach always told supporters to “Trust the Process”. His plan has worked after three difficult seasons where the team finished second each time.
Across the city, Pep Guardiola said goodbye to his Manchester City players. The manager’s final match ended in disappointment. Aston Villa beat City 2-1 at the Etihad Stadium.
Now Arsenal turn their attention to Paris. They face Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League final next weekend. Victory in that match would give them a famous double.
For the moment, the players and fans will enjoy this special achievement. They are the best team in England after more than two decades of waiting.
