Arsenal were crowned champions of England on Tuesday evening, and the celebrations immediately kicked off. Players, coaches, and club staff gathered at the training ground to watch Manchester City stumble to a 1-1 draw against Bournemouth, a result that made the Gunners mathematically uncatchable at the top. What followed was a wild party that lasted until the early hours.
However, it was notable that manager Mikel Arteta was absent from the team during this historic moment. He was nowhere to be seen in the dozens of videos shared by the club.
It's highly probable that the Spaniard watched the match at home with his family, as he had planned. As early as Monday, following the 1-0 victory over Burnley, Arteta had stated his intention to stay home.
