Everything was sealed tonight, as Manchester City failed to win against Bournemouth (1-1), making it impossible for the “Gunners” to catch up in the table.
Arsenal secures the title with one round to go, with 82 points, while Man City remains at 78, finally closing the race for the trophy.
This is a triumph of particular importance for the Londoners, because it brings the championship back to the Emirates after a long wait and when Arsenal had spent several consecutive seasons very close to success, but without managing to close the race to the end.
This time, Mikel Arteta’s team did not waver in crucial moments and turned consistency into their main weapon.
“Arsenal. Your Premier League champions,” was the club’s reaction after mathematically securing the title.
For Arteta, this title is the crowning achievement of a project he has built step by step. The Spaniard has returned Arsenal to the top of the Premier League, making him the coach who ended a cycle of waiting and transformed the team into real contenders, after in recent seasons they had been constantly “close” but failed to capture the trophy.
Arsenal ends this season as the champions of England, and now only the last round remains for the final celebration in front of the fans – with the title already theirs.
The London club is also part of the Champions League final, where it faces PSG.
