Arsenal will parade the Premier League trophy – and potentially the Champions League trophy – around Islington on Sunday, 31 May. The Gunners secured their first title for 22 years and lifted the trophy after their final game of the season at Selhurst Park last Sunday. After Arsenal’s title was confirmed, when Man City drew at Bournemouth, thousands of Gunners fans went to the Emirates Stadium to celebrate – an occasion also mirrored on Sunday, after the trophy was lifted by captain Martin Odegaard. On Saturday, Mikel Arteta’s side will go on the search for a historic double when they take on defending champions PSG in the Champions League final in Budapest. Regardless of the result, Arsenal will be back in north London for the parade on Sunday afternoon. Here’s all the information you need. When is the Arsenal parade?
