Wayne Rooney on other teams congratulating Arsenal on their title:
“Arsenal were crowned Premier League champions and deserved credit for what they achieved this season. But I cannot help feeling that some clubs in England could not find it in themselves to offer a simple word of congratulations.
In football, respect costs nothing. When a team ends a 22-year wait and wins the title with quality and character, the least their rivals can do is acknowledge it. The silence from certain clubs speaks louder than any post ever could.
I am proud of what Mikel Arteta has built. The players showed resilience, belief and the kind of determination that wins leagues. That deserves recognition, not ignorance.
Congratulations to Arsenal on winning the Premier League. But I believe English football loses something when basic respect between clubs disappears.
To the Arsenal supporters: you waited 22 years. Nobody can take that from you. Enjoy every moment of it.”

A 'best friend' who NEVER congratulated you when Arsenal won the league nor when they reached UCL final ,week in and out....but was the first to heavily mock you with serious insults after defeat to PSG..
Watch out.... 👀
We all love a bit of football banter and a good rivalry. But let’s be honest: some people just use 'banter' as a cover of their true character.
Beware of snakes...... 👀
Emmanuel Petit on Premier League clubs mocking Arsenal after the final defeat:
🗣️ “I have to say, I found it embarrassing.
The second Arsenal lost, some Premier League clubs couldn't wait to jump on social media and remind everyone about their European trophies.
That tells you everything.
Instead of supporting an English club representing the league on the biggest stage in club football, they were busy celebrating Arsenal's pain.
For me, that's not rivalry. That's insecurity.
Arsenal were 90 minutes away from doing something special, and rather than show respect, people were desperately searching through the history books for old trophies to post online.
Why? Because they were terrified of seeing Arsenal join that club.
Let's be honest, some of these clubs spent the entire season watching Arsenal compete at a level they couldn't reach.
The jealousy was obvious.
The moment Arsenal fell short, they treated it like they had won something themselves.
That's the mentality of people who would rather see Arsenal fail than focus on their own success.
The trophy may have slipped away, but the reaction from some rivals showed exactly how much Arsenal still live rent-free in their heads.”
🚨🎙️Wayne Rooney: “Arsenal have been robbed tonight” 🤯
Rooney 🗣️ “I’ll be completely honest, Arsenal were absolutely robbed tonight, there is no other way to put it. You look at that foul on Noni Madueke in the box; it’s a stonewall, 100% clear penalty. How the referee or VAR hasn't given that is beyond me, and it completely changes the dynamic of a Champions League final.
But for me, the moment that truly gave it away the moment you knew exactly what the referee was doing was that halftime whistle. To blow the whistle right as Arsenal are literally standing there about to take a corner? I’ve played this game a long time, and you rarely see that unless there’s a blatant bias. It was shocking, and it set the tone for everything that followed.
In the second half, it became a totally different game, and not because of the football. The referee made absolutely sure that every single 50/50 call, every little nudge, and every major decision went straight to PSG. It completely killed Arsenal’s momentum. But to be fair, I’m not even surprised. We saw the exact same story when they played Bayern Munich earlier in the tournament. The officiating was heavily skewed then, and it’s happened again on the biggest stage.
PSG might be lifting the trophy, but they cannot honestly look at themselves in the mirror and be proud of the way they’ve won this final. To win the biggest prize in club football like that? It leaves a horrible taste. Arsenal deserved so much more tonight.”
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.
🚨 Arsenal starting XI vs PSG : Raya, Mosquera, Saliba, Gabriel, Hincapie, Rice, MLS, Ødegaard, Saka, Kai Havertz, Trossard.

SAKA STARTS THE CHANT!
What a moment for the Arsenal academy product to lead the fans in song after bringing home the first Premier League title in 22 years.
🚨🎙️BUKAYO SAKA’s girlfriend, in an interview:
"After the Premiere League , saka came home very drunk. I had to treat him like a baby because he wouldn't stop celebrating the title. So I told him I loved him to calm him down. Then he replied,
'I love you too, Mikel.'
