Mikel Arteta opened up after Arsenal’s win over Burnley, bringing them close to their first English Premier League title in 22 years.
On 19 May 2026 GMT+7, Mikel Arteta, the Spanish manager of Arsenal, shared his feelings after the game at Emirates Stadium where they defeated Burnley, known as The Clarets, 1-0. This victory puts them on the brink of winning the English Premier League for the first time since the 2003-04 season, when they famously went unbeaten all season.
Mikel Arteta said, “Honestly, it’s a true happiness to see the transformation and the involvement of every fan, which has made this stadium the most beautiful place to live with a football club.”
“I believe this is the spirit of this club. I can say that all of you have contributed to creating it. So every time you step into the club’s stadium, I ask you to remember the responsibility to uphold this standard because it makes a huge difference. We will see each other soon at Selhurst Park and in Budapest (UEFA Champions League final). I want you to continue being an important part of this incredible group of players and staff.”
