Arsenal celebrated their first Premier League title in 22 years with an open‑top bus parade on Sunday, drawing an estimated 1 to 1.5 million fans along a 5.6‑mile route from the Emirates Stadium through Islington.
Manager Mikel Arteta, captain Martin Ødegaard, and Declan Rice hoisted the trophy. Rice told the crowd, “They pointed, and they laughed, they ain’t laughing now… Next year, we are coming for so much more.” The parade came one day after Arsenal lost the Champions League final to PSG on penalties.
Key Points:
A million‑strong turnout shows Arsenal’s fanbase remains deeply loyal despite European disappointment.
Rice’s defiant speech signals the team’s ambition to convert domestic success into continental glory next season.
The parade’s scale (biggest ever in the country, per police) underscores the emotional weight of ending a 22‑year league drought.
The women’s team sharing the spotlight highlights the club’s across‑the‑board success.
Balancing celebration with the sting of a penalty shootout loss may fuel motivation for 2026/27.
Arsenal will now regroup over the summer, aiming to retain the Premier League and finally conquer Europe next season.
