On Matchday 33 of the 2025–26 Premier League season, Arsenal played against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.
The game ended 2–1 in favour of City. At full-time, Manchester City players were doing victory laps while rival fans flooded social media with posts about Arsenal bottling the league.
But in the middle of all the gloom, one man lifted his head, looked at his captain Martin Ødegaard and said:
“It’s not done.”
That man was Declan Rice.
Arsenal went on to win every remaining league game, storming to the Premier League title and finishing 7 points clear of Manchester City.
But why do I look back on Matchday 33 with such nostalgia?
Because ladies and gentlemen, it’s been exactly 33 days since Arsenal won the league title.
4 - Sweden are the first side to win their first game by 4+ goals (5-1) and then lose their second by 4+ goals (1-5) at a FIFA World Cup tournament since...
Sweden in 1938.
ABBA.
Yeah man basketball clout actually can’t compare to football clout.
What do you mean some 40 year old Cape Verde goalkeeper gained the same amount of followers after a 0-0 as basketball’s current biggest star.

this season shattered so many narratives man. “Arteta can never win anything” “City never lose title races” “players are too emotional” “setpieces unsustainable” “can’t win with Gyökeres leading the line” “have to win at Etihad to win the league”

Thank you Arsenal fans. This club is more than just a football club to some of us, it’s a family.
Up the Arsenal.
Hand on heart, I dont feel sad at all. Im so fucking proud of this group. Won us a PL after 22 years and took us to a UCL final. Kings who will be remembered forever. 99% of Europe would want our season.
Thank you Mikel and Thank you Arsenal.
I recognise my football club again.
I can’t describe my feelings right now… Football always gives back to those who keep believing.. To the fans who kept believing, you deserve this… Arsenal; the club that will stay in my heart forever, you deserve this… The players and everyone at the club who made it happen, you deserve this… Congratulations to the best club in the world ❤️ @Arsenal

◎ Man City vs. PSG (2021)
◎ Man City vs. Real Madrid (2024)
◉ Arsenal vs. Real Madrid (2025)

Declan Rice has scored three of them. 🍙
