Rhyl 1879 Overview

Mikel Arteta has challenged his Arsenal players to immortalise themselves by completing a historic double following their Premier League title triumph. The Gunners boss insists his side are carrying "incredible energy" and irresistible momentum ahead of their Champions League final showdown with Paris Saint-Germain.

The 2025-26 Premier League campaign drew to a tense conclusion on Sunday, as Tottenham scraped past Everton to consign West Ham to relegation in spite of a 3-0 victory over Leeds United. Meanwhile, in the north-east of England, Sunderland sensationally defeated Chelsea to secure a place in the Europa League, while simultaneously preventing the Club World Cup winners from qualifying for any form of continental competition next term.

Mikel Arteta has delivered the Premier League title to Arsenal, following a 22-year wait, but is there any fear in north London that the Spanish tactician could be lured back to his homeland by Barcelona? Arteta is a product of the fabled La Masia academy system and was schooled in coaching circles by Pep Guardiola. Ray Parlour has likened the debate regarding the 44-year-old’s future to one that Arsene Wenger previously generated.

An Arsenal fan has refused to swap Declan Rice for legendary midfielders such as Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard, or even the trio of Xavi, Andrés Iniesta and Sergio Busquets.
