Arsenal have announced plans for a trophy parade through Islington on Sunday, 31 May, following their first Premier League title triumph in over two decades. The Gunners secured the championship on Tuesday when Manchester City failed to beat Bournemouth, confirming Arsenal as league leaders with one match remaining.
Parade Details and Double Celebration Hopes
The parade will commence at 2pm BST, with the club planning a route through the borough. This could be a double celebration, as Arsenal are set to contest their second Champions League final the previous day. They will face reigning champions Paris Saint-Germain in Budapest, aiming to claim European glory for the first time in their history.
Before the parade, Arsenal will lift the Premier League trophy after their final match of the campaign at Crystal Palace on Sunday. The title win sparked jubilant scenes among players, who gathered at the London Colney training base to watch City's draw, while thousands of fans flocked to the Emirates Stadium.
Messages from Legends
Former manager Arsene Wenger, who oversaw three Premier League titles including the 2004 'Invincibles'—the last Arsenal team to win the league—shared a celebratory message. "You did it," he said. "Champions go on when others stop. This is your time. Now, go on and enjoy every moment."
Thierry Henry, a key member of the Invincibles, also sent congratulations. "From Highbury seats to the Emirates - Arsenal Nation, finally we can celebrate," Henry posted on Instagram. "Special thanks to this generation - finally now my kids saw us winning a title."
The club is now preparing for a historic week that could see them secure a Premier League and Champions League double, marking a remarkable resurgence under current management.
