Arsenal supporters will have a myriad of reasons to fondly remember the month of May 2026.The celebrations started with around 100,000 supporters gathered at the Emirates Stadium when the Premier League title was confirmed on May 19, ending a 22-year wait for the league title.On Saturday, approximately 35,000 supporters packed into a fan screening at the Emirates Stadium for the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain, many flying into London for the weekend of a lifetime. For Sunday’s parade, an estimated one million fans gathered on the streets of north London, despite the defeat by PSG in a penalty shootout less than 24 hours earlier.It was an intense, yet rewarding 48 hours in the English capital for the majority of fans, with the mood mainly celebratory. But, later on Sunday, the day soured. One street became a crime scene, the Metropolitan Police said, after a man was stabbed and taken to hospital. Police later reported 16 arrests for offences that included sexual assault and assaulting emergency workers.The sight of early morning queues outside pubs near the Emirates has become the norm since Arsenal won the title. Saturday was no different, despite the Champions League final not starting until early evening local time.“The day’s been absolutely amazing,“ 27-year-old Londoner Kai Hector, speaking before Gabriel’s gut-wrenching penalty miss, told The Athletic. ”At 7-8am, people were lined outside pubs, ready to back the team and that was the energy throughout the day. Whether you had a ticket for the screening or not, everyone was ready.”Boards had already been placed at different entry points around the Emirates in preparation for Sunday’s parade, while there were more pleasant additions to the scenery elsewhere.
