In the 2025/2026 Arsenal title-winning season, Martin Zubimendi scored a stunning volley in the 32nd minute against Nottingham Forest.
It was his first goal for the club, a thunderous long-range strike from the edge of the box after a corner was cleared, giving Arsenal a 1-0 lead in a dominant 3-0 win at the Emirates.
But why the 32nd minute?
Because today marks exactly 32 days since Arsenal won the Premier League title!
I have been asked to rudely remind you all that the English alphabet has 26 letters.
โWhat makes 26 special?โ I asked.
Arsenal won the league and became champions of the English Premier League exactly 26 days ago so they answered.
In January 2023, Arsenal missed out on ยฃ86M Mudryk and signed Trossard for ยฃ26m instead.
One became embroiled in a doping scandal. The other helped deliver Arsenal's league title.
Why mention the ยฃ26m fee today?
Because it's been exactly 26 days since Arsenal won the league.
In the Premier League, a club can submit a maximum of 25 senior players for the official squad registration (the โ25-man squad listโ).
But the question many are asking is, why 25? Because 25 in this case is exactly the same number of days since Arsenal won the league title.
RT @FabrizioRomano: โญ๏ธ๐ฆ๐ท Leo Messi now has 14 World Cup goals, same as Kylian Mbappรฉ.
Ronaldo (15) and Klose (16) on top of the list. ๐ htโฆ
It just dawned on me that without his goal against Newcastle we wouldnโt have won the league. Then it struck me that he wears shirt number 23, which coincidentally matches the exact number of days since Arsenal last won the Premier League title.
What a coincidence.

My mum could not be here either for a VISA issue, and the money we had to pay for it. We did not manage to do this in time." (@TheAthleticFC)
