So we finish the season on 85 points. That's more than Liverpool last season. We also have more points than 7 of Manchester United's 13 titles. Not bad considering we are the worst winners in history 😂
Mikel Arteta admitted when Arsenal finished second three years in a row, there were times when he had serious doubts about whether he was the man to get the club over the line.
He said “I’ve taken this club so far but maybe someone else has to come in and finish the job.”
He then revealed that Josh Kroenke told him, we’re going to do it and we’re going to do it with you.
Josh Kroenke was never going to give up on Mikel Arteta.
Ahhh I love it man. 🥹
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.
