Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has revealed why rival clubs are against Arsenal winning the Premier League title. The Gunners were crowned champions of the 2025/26 season after Manchester City drew 1-1 with Bournemouth on Tuesday, May 19, at Vitality Stadium.
Arsenal's Title Triumph
Arsenal secured the Premier League title with one game to spare, following Manchester City's draw. The result ended a 22-year wait for the Gunners, who will face Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Sunday, May 24. Mikel Arteta clinched the trophy in his seventh season, having finished eighth, fifth, and second in previous campaigns.
Carragher's Take on Arsenal Fans
In a viral post on X, Carragher described Arsenal supporters as one of the most passionate fanbases globally. He stated, "I finally realised why nobody wanted Arsenal to win the league. The fans are unbelievably loyal and crazy passionate." He added that no other team celebrated a trophy like Arsenal did, with streets packed and social media exploding worldwide.
Fan Reactions
Arsenal fans responded to Carragher's comments. Some urged the club to enjoy the win and ignore critics, while others noted that the celebration was justified after 22 years. One fan said, "22 years, of course we will celebrate. People have lost family members, mocked at, and still supported the club." Another warned, "Wait till we grab the UCL, all of you will run."
Financial Windfall
Arsenal is expected to earn between £176 million and £178 million for winning the title, including guaranteed share, league ranking payment, and TV broadcast money.
