- Arsenal will hold an open‑top bus parade on Sunday to celebrate their Premier League title, less than 24 hours after the Champions League defeat.
- Mikel Arteta called the loss “pain” and said the club must make ambitious, fast, and smart decisions, taking a few days with his family before reviewing the season.
- Arsenal spent roughly £250 million on transfers last summer and is targeting a midfielder, left winger and striker for further summer signings.
- Arsenal secured their first Premier League title in 22 years, ending a long drought.
