Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta hails historic Premier League title

Arsenal secured the Premier League championship, ending a 22‑year wait after Manchester City slipped to a draw at Bournemouth. Manager Mikel Arteta said the achievement made him question, "Am I good enough to lead these players to something so big?" He praised the squad’s resilience, composure and character throughout a demanding season.

Arteta also highlighted the influence of rivals Manchester City and Pep Guardiola on raising the league’s standards. He mentioned personal conversations with Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola and noted the team’s focus now shifts to the Champions League final in Budapest, while managing fitness concerns for players such as Mikel Merino and Yuri Timber.

The manager expressed confidence that the side will be ready for the upcoming European final, underscoring the momentum gained from the league triumph.
