“Arsenal” is the champion! Mikel Arteta has broken through that 22-year-long wait and brought back the gold medal in the Premier League.

London’s Arsenal has officially become the champion of the 2025/26 English Premier League season. This marks the end of the longest period of absence from the top of the league in the club’s modern history. Under Mikel Arteta’s leadership, the team not only returned to the top of English football, but also demonstrated that a multi-year project has reached its logical climax.

The last time Arsenal won the championship was in the 2003/04 season. That team, led by Arsène Wenger, finished the season without losing a single game. This victory is the result of systematic development: a shift to a hybrid tactical approach, targeted strengthening of key players, and an unprecedented mental stability in matches against direct competitors. The decisive factor was the final series of nine wins in ten matches, along with the minimum number of points lost against the top six teams.

“This isn’t just a victory. It’s a historic conclusion of this cycle,” said Arteta during the post-match press conference. “We’ve gone through criticism and difficult seasons, but every player and staff member believed in this path. Today, London is ours again.”

Experts say that this championship was possible thanks to the perfect balance between youth and experience. Players like Bukayo Saka and Martin Ederson have become world-class stars, while new recruits have seamlessly integrated into the team’s structure. The club demonstrated tactical maturity and depth in its squad, qualities that were often lacking in previous seasons.

Now, Arsenal faces a new challenge: to maintain its position in the Champions League and defend its title in the Premier League. But the 2025/26 season has already been written in gold in the history of Arsenal. The twenty-two years of waiting are finally over.
