“They Mocked Us for 22 Years” — Saka Fires Back After Arsenal Win EPL Title
Bukayo Saka has reacted emotionally after Arsenal F.C. ended their 22-year wait for the English Premier League title.
The Gunners were officially crowned champions on Tuesday after Manchester City F.C. played a 1-1 draw against AFC Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium.
City’s dropped points handed Arsenal an uncatchable four-point lead with only one game left in the season, sealing the club’s first league triumph since the famous “Invincibles” campaign of 2003/04.
Arsenal players reportedly gathered at the club’s training ground to watch the decisive match together before erupting in celebration after the final whistle.
Reacting to the historic achievement, Saka said Arsenal fans had been ridiculed for over two decades but can now celebrate proudly.
“22 years they laughed at us and mocked us, but they can’t laugh anymore,” Saka said during the celebrations.
The 24-year-old winger, who rose through Arsenal’s academy and has supported the club since childhood, described the title win as a special moment for both the players and the fans.
Despite securing the Premier League trophy, Arsenal’s season is still ongoing. The North London club will now shift focus to the UEFA Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain F.C. in Budapest on May 30, where they hope to win Europe’s biggest club competition for the first time in their history.
