The defeat in Budapest will not stop the planned celebrations in London, as the club prepares to celebrate their league triumph with the fans. Arteta expressed his gratitude for the unwavering support the team has received throughout a grueling campaign. While the Champions League trophy would have been the ultimate prize, the manager believes the connection between the players and the supporters is stronger than ever.
"To the people, I already know how the team feels about them. We are very grateful for the support they have given us throughout the season, in times of difficulty, as they have been with us, and it has been a real joy to win a league after 22 years. It hurts, it hurts a lot for them not to win, because I can't even imagine what would have happened. We all had a huge desire to win it and tomorrow will be a beautiful day for sure," Arteta concluded.
