Mikel Arteta’s side had finished second in the Premier League in each of the previous three seasons, before ending up as champions in 2025-26.
At one stage on Sunday, Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice mocked the critics that have said the club have been too reliant on set-pieces to score goals by grabbing the microphone and chanting ‘set-piece again, ole, ole’.
Ben White spotted the opportunity to get Rice involved in a singalong and played ‘Ice, Ice Baby’ on the speaker, but Rice said “I’m not singing!”.
He didn’t take much convincing and belted out the lyrics of the Vanilla Ice hit – to the delight of the Gunners fans.
He told Sky Sports: “I love this team, I love the manager. To see the joy we can give people, it’s crazy. But next year we’re coming back for more.”
Rice was not the only Arsenal player to get the crowd going. Defender Riccardo Calafiori started a loud ‘Arsenal, Arsenal’ chant, while co-chairman Josh Kroenke was also seen chanting and urging more noise from the Gunners fans.
“This is crazy,” said captain Martin Odegaard before singing along and waving a scarf as red smoke from flares filled the streets of north London.
One of the largest cheers came when Odegaard, the first Arsenal captain to lead the club to Premier League glory since Patrick Vieira in 2004, paraded the trophy at the front of the bus.
