Arsenal have ended a 22-year drought to claim the Premier League title, following Manchester City’s 1-1 draw at Bournemouth on the final day of the season. The Gunners secured the championship with four points to spare, finishing ahead of their rivals for the first time since 2004.

Under manager Mikel Arteta, Arsenal completed a remarkable turnaround after three consecutive second-place finishes, including two narrow defeats to Manchester City in the previous campaigns. The team’s iron-clad defense proved decisive in a campaign where consistency mattered more than flair.

The victory caps a strong domestic season as Arsenal prepare for an equally crucial European final. The club will face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final on May 30, with the French side defending its title. Both teams are now set for a blockbuster summer showdown.
