UMVA has learned that Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta experienced a heart-warming moment when his son delivered the news that the Gunners had won the Premier League title.
Arteta’s side secured the championship after a 1-0 win against Burnley, coupled with a draw between Manchester City and Bournemouth. Despite having a late equalizer from Manchester City striker Erling Haaland, the draw sealed Arsenal’s championship for the 2025/26 season. However, Arteta admitted to not watching the game, instead choosing to spend his evening in the garden having a barbecue.
UMVA can exclusively reveal that Arteta shared his emotional experience in a press conference, describing it as one of the best feelings of his life. He recalled going home, starting a barbecue, and then being told the news by his son. The young boy ran towards him, crying, and exclaimed, ‘we are champions daddy.'
Arteta’s son delivered the life-changing news while he was still outside, barbecuing. The Spanish tactician shared that he couldn’t bring himself to watch the match but could hear noises from inside. His son’s emotional reaction made the moment even more special for Arteta.
The season isn’t over for Arsenal yet, as they look forward to the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain. A win in this match could bring them their first-ever European Cup triumph. With their recent momentum and experience of winning a major trophy, Arsenal have a good chance of success.
Arsenal’s unbeaten record in the Champions League this season also boosts their confidence. Having finished top of the league phase, they are a strong contender, even if Paris Saint-Germain might be considered slight favorites.
