Mikel Merino has called Arsenal’s Premier League title win a ‘dream come true’ after the Gunners celebrated becoming champions.
Arsenal lifted the Premier League trophy in front of the travelling fans following the club’s win at Crystal Palace on Sunday.
The Gunners secured a 2-1 win at Selhurst Park on the final day, before the presentation of the Premier League trophy to the newly-crowned champions.
Merino soaked in the post-match celebrations and said the club’s success this season has been a dream come true.
“It feels amazing! It feels like a dream come true – it’s very heavy as well, a heavy trophy! The reality is that this group of players have worked so hard for this trophy, these fans as well,” the Spaniard said.
“It’s a pleasure to be part of this group and part of this generation that brought the Premier League back to Emirates Stadium. I can’t put it into words, to be honest.
“From everyone watching us on TV, you might see just another team. But when you see us up close, you see how this team behaves on a daily basis at the training ground. You see these guys are just a group of friends, family – that is what’s the most important thing in this club.
“We’re making a strong group, we’re making a team where if things go wrong, they stick together, they push through it, and this is what we’ve done this season to show that unity is what gave us the title.”
