Twenty-two years after their last Premier League title, Arsenal have reclaimed the top spot in English football. The club celebrated at the Sobha Realty Training Centre, where a cardboard cut-out of the Premier League trophy was passed from player to player as the squad marked the achievement.<\/p>\n
The timing means Arsenal\u2019s fate was resolved before the final day of the Premier League season, which arrives this Sunday, so the title will not be decided on the last match. The club will be presented with the real trophy on the pitch after Sunday\u2019s finale against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park, giving every member of the squad the chance to hold the prize aloft.<\/p>\n
While winning the Premier League title on the field is preferable, Arsenal players and supporters will not care one jot. The job is done and their agonizing wait is over. The club has already played its final home match of the season, a 1\u20130 victory over Burnley at the Emirates Stadium on Monday, which means there will be no home celebration with supporters before the Champions League final.<\/p>\n
Arsenal can add a first Champions League trophy to their cabinet at the end of the month. The Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain is scheduled for May 30 in Budapest. The Gunners will hope to have clinched that title the night before, but the open-top bus parade through London on Sunday, May 30 will go ahead regardless of the result in Budapest. The parade is planned to allow players to share the Premier League triumph with fans around the city.<\/p>\n
With the league secured and the Champions League final looming, Arsenal\u2019s immediate focus will be on the trip to Selhurst Park for the official presentation before turning to their continental opportunity at the end of the month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
