Mikel Arteta has told Arsenal fans to 'enjoy the moment' after the club was finally crowned Premier League champions. The Gunners secured the title without playing a match, as Manchester City were held to a 1-1 draw with Bournemouth on Tuesday night. This victory ends a 22-year wait for the league title, with Arsenal last triumphing in the 2003-04 season.
Arsenal will officially lift the trophy on the final day of the season at Selhurst Park on Sunday, when they face Crystal Palace. However, celebrations have already begun in north London, with fans taking to the streets after the final whistle at the Vitality Stadium confirmed their status as champions.
Arteta's Message to Fans
Shortly after the title was confirmed, Arsenal released a video featuring a message from the manager. 'We made history again, together. I cannot be happier, prouder for everybody that is involved in this football club. Let's enjoy the moment,' Arteta said.
More Silverware in Sight
Arsenal remain in contention for further silverware this season. They are set to face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final in Budapest on 30 May, offering the chance to add another major trophy to their collection.
Meanwhile, the club is planning a trophy parade to celebrate the Premier League title, with details of the date and possible route expected to be announced soon.
