After almost seven years at this club, it’s hard to put into words what this moment means to me.
I arrived at this club when I was 18 years old. Far from home, barely speaking the language, trying to adapt to a completely new culture, new life and chasing a dream that felt so big at the time.
I didn’t know exactly what the future would hold, but I knew I wanted to give everything for this club.
We didn’t just build a team, we built a family, an identity, and something the fans could believe in again. To see this club back where it belongs is one of the proudest moments of my career.
I want to thank my family, thank everyone at the club, the staff, my teammates, and every person working behind the scenes. Most importantly, thank you to the fans. Your support, patience and love throughout these years never went unnoticed. You stayed with us through the difficult moments, and this title belongs to you as much as anyone.
This club changed my life. I will always be grateful for the privilege of wearing this shirt.

No es un sueño y no es un simulacro, aficionados del Arsenal. Realmente lo están viviendo. Después de 22 años de sequía, su equipo está de regreso en el trono del fútbol inglés. LA ESPERA POR FIN TERMINÓ.
🚨🔴 La policía estima que habrá más de 1 millón de aficionados del Arsenal alineados en las calles de Islington para el desfile de los Gunners el próximo fin de semana por ganar la Premier League.
Será el desfile más grande jamás realizado en Londres si las cifras estimadas son correctas.

🚨🎙️Thierry Henry on Arsenal becoming Champions of England:
Arsenal didn’t ‘get lucky’, they took the crown from Manchester City. There’s a difference. For four years everyone in England acted like the Premier League belonged to City permanently, like the rest of the league were just guests waiting for permission to compete. Arsenal changed that.”
“After that defeat at the Etihad, the media buried Arsenal. Pundits folded instantly. Fans were laughing, rivals were posting memes, and suddenly the title race was ‘over’. But champions don’t panic after one defeat. Weak teams do. This Arsenal side responded like real winners.”
“And let me say something that will upset people, this Manchester City side is not the City machine people pretend it is anymore. The fear factor is gone. Teams go to the Etihad now believing they can survive. A few years ago opponents were beaten in the tunnel before kickoff. Arsenal smelled that weakness before anyone else.”
“What impresses me most is the mentality. Arsenal have been mocked for YEARS. Banter club. Soft. Bottle jobs. ‘Trust the process’ jokes every single season. Yet now look at everybody. Silent. Because the same club people laughed at just dethroned the most dominant English side of the modern era.”
“And for the rival fans crying already, no, this is not a ‘one-off’. That’s the scary part. Arsenal are young, hungry, aggressive, and they play without fear. Liverpool fans won one league and called it a dynasty. Chelsea fans spent billions and still can’t build an identity. United fans live in nostalgia. Tottenham fans celebrate finishing above Arsenal like it’s a trophy parade. Meanwhile Arsenal are champions of England again.”
“People wanted Arsenal to fail so badly because they know what this club looks like when it rises. The atmosphere changes in football. The arrogance returns. The belief returns. And the rest of the league starts getting nervous.”
“So congratulations to Arsenal. They didn’t back into the title. They earned it. And the funniest thing? The tears from rival fans have only just started.”
En abril, justo cuando el Arsenal perdió en la cancha del Manchester City y parecía que el título de la Premier League se les había escapado, Declan Rice fue captado en plena transmisión diciendo: "ESTO NO HA ACABADO". Muchos se burlaron porque aseguraban que Arsenal se iba a caer en la parte final de la temporada, pero el mediocampista inglés mandó un mensaje muy claro para todos sus compañeros. Y desde ese momento, enlazaron 4 triunfos consecutivos sin recibir gol en la Premier League, en mayo recuperaron el liderato y hoy se proclamaron CAMPEONES DE INGLATERRA después de 22 años de espera.
Aquí está el hombre que nunca dejó de creer. Aquí está el MVP absoluto del título. Aquí está el verdadero motor del Arsenal. Aquí está el fichajazo que lo cambió todo en la entidad de Londres.
LA IMPORTANCIA DE NUNCA RENDIRSE.
🤯 ¡EL MUNDO ANTES DE LA HAZAÑA DE LOS ‘GUNNERS’!
😱 La última vez que el Arsenal había conseguido un título de Premier League fue hace 22 años.
😳 Dos décadas después, el fútbol y su historia ha tomado otro rumbo.
👀 ¿Qué otro dato recuerdas de esos años?
