Martin Odegaard Arsenal
Arsenal have been crowned the Premier League champions for the first time since their unbeaten 2003/04 season. The Gunners secured the title after Manchester City were held to a draw by Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium. The Arsenal squad, staff, and coaches gathered at the Sobha Realty Training Centre to watch the match, erupting into celebration as the final whistle confirmed their triumph.
Arsenal staff, players, and coaches chanted: “Championes, championes, ole ole ole,” as they celebrated the title in arms. William Saliba stood on a chair with his arms aloft, while Gabriel left the huddle for a couple of seconds with his hands on his head in disbelief. A jubilant Declan Rice, who left West Ham in a deal worth £105 million for moments like this, could be seen in the middle of the huge huddle with his phone in the air.
Andrea Berta said: “It’s an absolute joy to witness the transformation and the contribution each of you have had to turn this place into the most beautiful place to enjoy and play our football games. This is the soul of this football club and each of you contribute to that. So make sure that every time you step into this stadium you face the responsibility now to match keep it at this standards because it makes such a difference for us and all the players. I want to thank you all, and I want see you soon in Selhurst Park and for sure in Budapest as well. But please [thank] the protagonists, the amazing group of players and the staff.”
Martin Odegaard said: “Really proud. I think it has been an amazing season, so far. We have one big one left here, and then the Champions League obviously. And we want to take the trophies home. It has been amazing. Just a little bit to go now, and we are going to give it our all. We have to keep going. I can promise you all that we give everything we have every single day. We are going to keep going until the very end. With your support, we are going to be ready. The fans have been amazing – I think especially these last few home games, arriving at the stadium and seeing everything outside. And the atmosphere inside is amazing. So let’s get ready for the last bit – and thank you so much.”
Mikel Arteta said: “I don’t know how long I’m going to watch it. I will be there in front of the TV, but I don’t know how much I’ll be able to watch, I think.”
The victory marks a significant achievement for Arsenal and manager Mikel Arteta, who has led the team through an extraordinary season. The Gunners have overcome years of near-misses and heartbreak to reclaim their status as the top team in England. The club’s social media team captured the joyous scenes at the training centre, highlighting the unity and spirit within the squad.
