Arsenal Football Club might not have won the UEFA Champions League trophy, but they didn't go trophyless this season. The Gunners paraded their Premier League title through the streets of North London today, marking their first English top-flight title in 22 years. Hundreds of thousands of fans lined the route as the open-top bus made its way through the borough, with the club’s red and white colours dominating the celebrations.
Arsenal celebrates EPL title with North London parade day after brutal UCL loss to PSG
The parade came just one day after Arsenal’s narrow defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final, underscoring the bittersweet nature of the season. The Gunners clinched the title after Manchester City dropped crucial points in their final fixtures, ending a long wait since their last league triumph in 2004.
Manager Mikel Arteta and the squad were greeted with thunderous applause as they showcased the Premier League trophy to ecstatic supporters. However, fans argue that the celebration has come on a weird day, as the players couldn't even celebrate the Premier League victory to the fullest since it was just a day after the Champions League title loss following a brutal penalty shootout.
