UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has congratulated Arsenal on their Premier League title win, with Starmer himself being a lifelong supporter of the North London club.
"It's been a long 22 years for Arsenal. But finally, we're back where we belong – champions!" Starmer posted on social media platform X.
Arsenal secured the title with an unassailable 82 points, while rivals Manchester City remained on 78 after drawing with Bournemouth with one round of the Premier League season remaining. This marks the London club's first league title since 2004, when the "Gunners" famously completed an entire season undefeated. This is Arsenal's 14th English championship, a tally surpassed only by Manchester United and Liverpool, who each boast 20 titles.
Spanish manager Mikel Arteta has been at the helm of Arsenal since 2019. Under his leadership, the team has previously won the FA Cup (2020) and the FA Community Shield twice (2020, 2023).
On May 30th, Arsenal will compete in the Champions League final against defending champions Paris Saint-Germain. The club has never won Europe's most prestigious club competition, as reported by BTA.
