Arsenal’s title after 22 years brought everyone together — the fans, the players, and every legend of the club
Arsenal icon Ian Wright was right at the centre of the celebrations on Tuesday night as the club finally reclaimed the Premier League title after a 22-year wait.
The former striker joined thousands of ecstatic supporters outside the Emirates Stadium after Manchester City’s 1-1 draw with Bournemouth mathematically secured the trophy for Mikel Arteta’s side.
Few figures embody Arsenal’s spirit more than Wright, and videos circulating on social media showed the club legend singing, dancing and celebrating alongside fans in North London. Dressed in the new Arsenal home shirt and wrapped in a club scarf, he looked every bit like one of the supporters enjoying a moment they had waited more than two decades to witness.

City’s dropped points left Arsenal four points clear at the top of the table with just one match remaining, officially ending the title race and triggering scenes of jubilation across the capital.
Reflecting on the achievement, Wright said: "It’s just been so tough the last three years and to finally do it, honestly, what can I say? It’s amazing! This club deserves it, our fans deserves it, all around the world and everybody. We deserve this, man."

Other Arsenal greats also shared in the celebrations. Former midfielders Martin Keown and Ray Parlour posted emotional reactions online as they welcomed the end of the club’s long wait for another league crown.
Keown praised Arteta’s side by saying: “Come on Arsenal, lovely moment. Congratulations to the boys, absolutely amazing. Gallant effort from Man City, but we were the best team. Let’s enjoy it while we can. Champions League here we come.”
Parlour added: “Yes, come on. We’ve done it, we’ve done it. Everyone has doubted us. Come on the Arsenal. Absolutely deserved, well done boys. Where is my champagne?”

Arsene Wenger, the manager who guided Arsenal to their last title in 2004, also sent a heartfelt message in the club’s celebratory video.
“You did it. Champions go on when others stop. This is your time. Now, go on and enjoy every moment,” said the legendary Frenchman.

At the training ground in London Colney, Arteta addressed his players with an emotional speech of his own.
“We made history again, together. I cannot be happier, prouder for everybody that is involved in this football club. Let's enjoy the moment.”
Although Arsenal will receive the Premier League trophy after their final match against Crystal Palace, attention will soon turn to an even bigger challenge.
With the league title secured, the Gunners now shift their focus to the Champions League final, where they will face Paris Saint-Germain with the chance to crown an unforgettable season in spectacular fashion.
