Arsenal secured the Premier League title Tuesday, with Manchester City's draw at Bournemouth putting them four points behind Arsenal in table, with just one game remaining.
It is the first league title for the Gunners since the 2003-04 season.
For Manchester City, not only have they lost the title, but manager Pep Guardiola is expected to announce his departure from the team after 10 seasons, following the club's season-finale at the Etihad against Aston Villa. The Spaniard won six Premier League titles for the Cityzens and the UEFA Champions League in 2023.
My take: Congrats to the Gunners and their fans. Well-deserved despite making it something of a nail-biter in the end. If Pep does leave, it's been quite a run. At some point, City's going to face a reckoning for 115 alleged violations of financial rules and obstruction. Pep might not be down for navigating that mess if there are points, transfer and other penalties that will hinder their ability to compete.
