Arsenal break 22-year title drought with a city-wide parade celebrating their Premier League title win.

On Sunday, tens of thousands of Arsenal fans flooded the streets of North London, lighting red fireworks to celebrate the club's first Premier League title in 22 years.


Arsenal players rode in an open-top bus to show fans the Premier League title they had won for the first time in many years since the "Invincibles" era of the 2003-04 season.


This season, Mikel Arteta's Arsenal performed brilliantly, securing the title before the final round of the league and finishing seven points ahead of second-placed Manchester City. Prior to this, Arsenal had finished as runners-up for three consecutive years, and this victory finally relieved the club and its fans of years of pressure.


Despite Arsenal's heartbreaking penalty shootout defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in Saturday's Champions League final, it did not dampen the fans' enthusiasm for celebration. Fireworks and cheers filled the stadium. One French fan, in an interview, stated that while they didn't win the European title, the English championship was the most important.


Declan Rice, the star player who joined Arsenal in 2023 for £105 million, said in an interview that this title win is a response to those who used to mock Arsenal, and they can no longer laugh. He emphasized his love for the team and the manager, and said that the whole team will strive to win more honors next year.


In addition, Arsenal Women, who won the FIFA Champions League this season, also joined the victory parade. The young fan is full of confidence for the future, believing that the Champions League defeat will actually motivate him for next year, and he firmly believes the team can reach the Champions League final in Madrid next season.
